Hooked on...

No, not PHONICS (and, why isn't it spelled "fonix?" hmm.....). Those of us who are fortunate enough to be children of the 80s (YEAH!) might remember the "Hooked On..." song medleys. Hooked on Classics, Hooked on the Beatles. Were there others? I only remember those two. It's just that music has been on my mind a lot lately, specifically music from the late 70s and the 80s. Such formative years for me (yeah, showing my age, er, um, wisdom). Music is a big part of growing up for most of us; doesn't EVERYTHING revolve around the radio when you're a teenager? I mean, I slept with the radio on all night. But when something happens to make you feel young again, at least at heart, it brings back moments and music in floods. My obsession for the moment (at least in my mind, because I don't have it to play in any form) is Hooked on The Beatles. I only remember three songs that were in that: Do You Want to Know a Secret; You Can Drive My Car; You're Gonna Lose That Girl. Good stuff. Great stuff.

You never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo

I've known a secret for a week or two
Nobody know just we two

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo, oo

Hey, if you have your own memories of "Hooked On..." something...please share!
