If We Can't Laugh At Ourselves...

As a group, I think we boomers have always tended to take ourselves WAYYYY too seriously, often confusing our large numbers and large purchasing power with large importance. Well, this morning my friend Jim Sobeck sent me the following e-mail message that for me helps put things into some healthy perspective.

It was fun being a baby boomer... until now. Some of the artists of the 60's are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers.

They include:
Herman's Hermits--- Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker
Ringo Starr--- I Get By With a Little Help From Depends
The Bee Gees--- How Can You Mend a Broken Hip
Bobby Darin--- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' a Flash
Roberta Flack--- The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face
Johnny Nash--- I Can't See Clearly Now
Paul Simon--- Fifty Ways to Lose Your Liver
The Commodores--- Once, Twice, Three Times to the Bathroom
Marvin Gaye--- Heard It Through the Grape Nuts
Procol Harem--- A Whiter Shade of Hair
Leo Sayer--- You Make Me Feel Like Napping
The Temptations--- Papa's Got a Kidney Stone
Abba--- Denture Queen
Tony Orlando--- Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall
Helen Reddy--- I Am Woman, Hear Me Snore
Leslie Gore--- It's My Procedure, and I'll Cry If I Want To
And my favorite: Willie Nelson--- On the Commode Again
