You know you're old when....

You hear "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" played on KLUV......
 
Don't forget Jessie's Girl and tunes from The Cars.;) No, you are REALLY old when you are in the elevator at a casino hotel, and you hear an Ozzy tune. No lie. I thought hearing Crazy Train in a car ad was the worst until the elevator music nightmare. Next...it will probably be Bad Company's 'Ready For Love' in a Viagra ad (if it has not already been done). Maybe 'Burnin For you' for Preparation H? ;D
 
When you can admit you once put a Michael Bolton song in power rotation one day and fought with his record rep the next for the rights to a charity softball game for your station with Bolton's Bombers.
 
You know you're old when you hear Inna Gadda divda in the doctors office.
 
When you hear "Double shot of my baby'sLove" played on Muzak.
For those who don't know, Muzak used to be all elevator music. Double shot was kind of of a party song from the 60s.
 
Two instances:

A) When a 14 yr old kid said to me "Whats Smokey And The Bandit?"
B) When the same punk thought that New Orders "Bizzare Love Triangle" was a new song
 
When you explain to a 14 year old how to tape a nickel on the tonearm to keep it from skipping.

After explaining what a tonearm is. And 45's. And changing the channels on 8-track was fun that they will never experience.

They will never get the joke about the 2 speakers, one male & one female. The female was saying "flutter, flutter" and the male was saying "wow!"
 
You're old when your 14 year old nephew gets into your classic 69 Camaro and wants to know what those 6 big black push buttons, two dials and white lettering on glass is and then wanted to know what was wrong with the roof (vinyl). *sigh*


Same nephew when helping move the furnishings from his great-great aunt's home after her death......couldn't figure out what the square black thing was that had a dial on it's face...... had to explain a rotary phone while he's texting his BFF on his Blackberry.

Where's the Geritol? :eek:

When no one in the room understands why you thought KDFW was where CBS shows are...

Or worse, when you "space" and refer to it as KRLD-TV.


Moving right along, you also know you're old when you can
remember your oldies station having a local, live jock doing
evenings, and the name Tom Kent only vaguely rings a bell
as being on a station in Chicago or somewhere.

Well, maybe not so old... ::)

Then again.......posting the same thing twice in less than a minute ....well, that's something "old" people do............ :D ;D :D

Sorry, I just had to kid you about that :p :p :p
 
Oh no... I'm K-LUV'in my oldies... 8)
