I've written previously about how overplayed I think Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock & Roll" is. I didn't mind hearing it 40 years ago, but after decades of hearing it on classic rock stations, in stores, and online, I've had my fill of it for a lifetime.
Hearing it as bumper music on an AM station this morning reminded me, though, of my eighth grade chorus class. Our teacher, Mr. B., led the singing while playing "Old Time Rock & Roll" on the piano. When the bell rang to end class, he ad-libbed in time with the song, "It's time to go, so Goodbye, you all. I'll see you here tomorrow at the same time. Be sure to bring your notebooks to this class because I just might check on them."
You never know what will trigger a memory from 40 years ago.
