Ballerina Girl by Lionel Richie - it was at the sixth grade christmas dance, with a boy named Chris that I crushed on terribly.

I remember the dance (Saint Patrick's school...weekend dance...we called it Saint Pat's)...I remember the guy...Roy Forbes (long hair...badass...he's dead now)...and I remember it was an oldie (an oldie to me...not you guys born in 1986 and up...lol!). But I can't, for the life of me (at this time in the AM), remember the song!

I'll get back to you on that one...

For Mr. Lixy and I..."I Melt With You" (I know...I know...pretty fast song, huh? Well, we danced slow anyway!)...and I'll be damned if I can remember the artist at the moment. Arrrrrrgggg! I have oldtimers disease!

It was "Tonight's the Night" by Rod Stewart. It was nightime, there was a thunderstorm and the electricity went out. He lit a couple of candles, and turned on the radio. That song began to play.....we began to dance. I haven't thought about him or that night in years.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

i can't remember the song but i'll think on it and maybe it'll come to me. i do have a clear picture and i remember this: (flashback) picture a roller rink, rainbow bright squares packed the carpeted floor littered with limp french fries, a hundred or more pre-teen-somethings milling, preening, flirting in front of the bright lockers, thick and smokey stale air (more than half those pre-teen-somethings were holding a marlboro and deperately trying to look cool), disco ball lights circling around those brave enough to skate on that gleaming floor... COUPLESSSS OWWWWWWN-LEHHHHHH!!... and we skated, and it was the first time i ever remember being close to a boy and almost choking 'cause my heart was beating too hard in my throat and my hands were so shaky and i sooo knew i was gonna get kissed in the hallway to the bathrooms. but i stuck a hand in his back pocket anyway and he stuck one in mine, and we went 'round and 'round and i just kept thinking in my head 'dont' fall...dont' fall...dont' fall'...(i didn't!) and we ragged on mrs. mahalsky (our seventh-grade english teacher) and he smelled like toothpaste.

ahhhh, nostalgia.

I remembered...I remembered! Halfway through the day yesterday...it just came to me! I am so proud of myself...cause it was driving me crazy!

The first song I slow danced to (with Roy) was "Ooooh Baby, Baby" by Smokey Robinson. Roy requested it to appologize for a silly fight we had earlier that day.

And...TY WI! I remembered that after I logged out yesterday too!

Can't remember the first slow dance or who it was with, but when Mr. Sprinkles and I were dating our favorite song to slow dance to was "Crystal Blue Persuasion" by Tommy James and the Shondells. Another particular favorite, and it's still "our song", was "Old Fashioned Love Song" by Three Dog Night.
Brings back lots of good memories. Wish we'd dance again. It would be one way to get him to hold me again.

The first I can remember with my wife was "Only You" by the Platters. Love that song, although "Unchained Melody" is probably my all time favorite.

I'm sure the song was "Color My World" Chicago's old classic but for the life of me I can't remember who the girl was.

Big Bear, thanks for reminding me of Color My World. What a blast from the past! I loved that song, and I loved playing along with the flute part.
