One of my evil pleasures left over from my yoot are songs by the Lovin' Spoonful.
Hey, what am I apologizing for, they're in the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame, and did you notice how I said yoot instead of youth, that was me doing Joe Pesci from My Cousin Vinny.
Along with the Rolling Stones the Spoonful were the first band to wear regular clothes while performing and not matching outfits, also, John Sebastian, the leader of the group, popularized long sideburns back in the sixties, so if any of you have seen pics of your dad with long sideburns, blame John Sebastian. John Sebastian also did the Welcome Back Kotter theme and is currently the co-host of the Time-Life Folk Music Collection infomercial, but enough about them. Sit back and listen to ...

Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind?
by the Lovin Spoonful

Did you ever have to make up your mind?
Pick up on one and leave the other one behind
It's not often easy, and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind?
Did you ever have to finally decide?
Say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes, and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide?

Sometimes there's one with deep blue eyes, cute as a bunny
With hair down to here, and plenty of money
And just when you think she's that one in the world
Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl
And then you know you better make up your mind
Pick up on one and leave the other one behind
It's not often easy, and not often kind
Did you ever have to make up your mind?

Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her
And then you get distracted by her older sister
When in walks her father and takes you in line
And says "Better go home, son, and make up your mind."
Then you bet you'd better finally decide!
And say yes to one and let the other one ride
There's so many changes, and tears you must hide
Did you ever have to finally decide?

Do I remind you of Kasey Kasem?
