@taniele84

Everyone thinks I’m lying and I made this song up whenever they hear me singing it.
For as long as I can remember, it’ll just randomly pop up in my head while I’m cleaning or working out or something requiring an upbeat rhythm, and I start singing it- usually repeating the chorus over and over because it’s all I remember- and it never fails, everyone starts staring, cutting me off, making me repeat the words and then arguing with me when I tell them it’s a real song and it’s classic and perfect lol
They look it up to prove Em wrong and always end up shocked and stunned. They play the song. They love it. And my work is done.
😉
I’m lucky to know these kind of gems. My mom was a special lady, she had me late in life, single mom, it was her and I against the world. And we would go for rides all over the backroads, along the reservoirs, into the mountains, and the whole time she’d have her music playing, the nostalgia was so strong that it would rub off on me, even though the entire time I was actually experiencing the moments that would one day be the entire focal point of my own most intense nostalgia. Too young to have actually known what it was at the time, I swear to God I still felt it though, through her. Through my mom. She’d share her stories, her childhood stories, as I got older she’d share more of her teen years and so on. The music going, the 60’s alive in the car with us, her stories happening live in my mind as she told them. We’d always find some hidden gem of a burger stand in the valleys of the mountains, looking over the reservoirs, with a bunch of picnic tables to eat at, the only other people we’d end up seeing were usually bikers. Which is how my love for riding first began. These guys, and gals, would ride out together along the curves and bends of the mountains, all seasons, all days and all nights, whether it was a summer nights full moon and the smell of pines and the campfires that were burning from somewhere miles away or whether it was the crisp and savory fall air that wrapped you up like a blanket of cozy happiness, with the colors of nature at her most beautiful and magical, the mountains burning with the fiery colors of autumn, the leaves blanketing the roads, the picnic tables at those secret burger joints decorated with huge oak leaves and sweet smelling maples leaves.
I swear, we didn’t have much, my mama slept on a broken couch so that I could have my own real bedroom (her choice, I wanted to share with her but she wouldn’t have it), we lived in a tiny studio with a flimsy plaster wall that was thrown up to make it into a one bedroom and charge as much as possible, the electricity was cut off usually once every three months or so and we’d had special “camp out” nights, with candles and blankets on the floor by her couch and we’d tell stories and even roast marshmallows using our candles, she worked so much and so hard to give me everything she could, and even though we could afford summer vacations or weekends at the movies or the mall or whatever it was other kids did with their families, I swear to God I really believe we actually ended up having it so much better in the end because of the struggle and hardships. My father was a bad man, she protected me from him, kept us away from him, became everything I needed without anyone’s help, we had something so important and special, mother and daughter, the world before them.
Wow. Didn’t plan on all this.
But.
The song popped up in my head.
I’m cleaning so I figured I’d find it on YouTube.
Decided to leave a comment about how none of my friends ever believe me when I tell them I didn’t make this song up.
And ended up revisiting the happiest days of my life and basking in how blessed I was to have the mother I had and to experience all the we experienced together.
I love you Mama. And I know you’re right here with me.
To anyone who managed through my grammatically toxic rambling- bless your heart. I’m sorry for the babble lol

@desertrat7634

Your description of parts of your childhood sounds a lot like mine. I can still remember most of the music my mom listened to when I was growing up. I even have memories triggered by songs that my mom says I was way too young to remember, but then I'll describe something specific, and she's left shocked. Music can be a powerful trigger. We would be driving down the road and she would just turn the radio off and teach us a song that she knew from when she was younger. At other times when we'd be driving and a particular song came on that she wanted us to hear, her excitement was almost like a kid finding out they are going Disney Land. Mores time than I can count, we found ourselves laughing hysterically at the absurd humor of some of them. My mom had us young, so her generation's music isn't that far removed from my generation's. I loved it all. I still do. To this day, when certain songs come on the radio or on my mp3 player (yes, I seek many of them out to play at will), I have very vivid memories of events that were going on one time when I heard the song. It doesn't have to be the first time I heard the song, since I cannot possibly remember many of them due to being so young, but songs playing during certain events stand out vividly to me, even 40 years later. I guess you could look at it almost like a soundtrack to my memories of her. And with every soundtrack, there are the songs that remind me of not so happy times. But she was always there. I lost her to drugs many years ago, and it has made the music my sister and I shared with her that much more special. Before the drugs, drugs being just the last few years together, we never knew we were poor. To this day I don't understand how she kept us fed or clothed. I can remember eating the same meal for months at a time because someone gave us 'x' many pounds of this, or 'y' many boxes of that, and she managed to keep it interesting. And since we lived a lot of years someplace with no television reception (didn't bother my sister nor I any) music was always in the background. Most kids, at least while they are kids, cannot stand the music of their parents. That wasn't me or my sister. I don't even think she clung to a specific era of music, even showing interest in the stuff I started getting into in jr high and high school. So many people say that you shouldn't be your child's friend, but she was my friend. She was my friend up to the point that I needed her to be a parent, whether I wanted the 'parent' or not, and then she was that. Friend 99% of the time or not, I knew not to dismiss her when she was in parent mode. Parent-mode edicts stood even when she was my friend. You couldn't even suggest her expectations were mere advice. They were more like, "I dare you to test me." But the relationship worked incredibly well, and even my friends enjoyed coming to my house and interacting with her. I ended up with 2 or 3 milk crates of her vinyl albums. I don't have a record player at this time, but once I'm moved back out west, I plan to find one so I can see what gems are hidden in those crates. One thing I wish hadn't been lost is an autographed 5x7 picture of Ricky Nelson personalized to her. She snuck backstage at a concert of his when I was just 5 years old. He kissed her on the cheek, and she must have talked about that until I was 11 or 12...at least! It sat on the hutch in her living room until she died. But dying around junkies is little more than an unregulated garage sale that takes place in the dark of night when nobody is around. By the time anyone from the family had gotten to her house, anything of value had been stolen, everything else ransacked. My sister had been there just days before my mom died, and everything was where it was supposed to be. Such are the friendships made through chemical dependence. I think the only reason the records were still present is that most the people she was around at the end is because none of her 'friends' realized that piece of furniture even had storage inside. But such are the quirks of relationships built on chemical dependency.

The song is called 'If You Want To Be Happy' and was recorded by Jimmy Soul for LeGrand Records in Norfolk, VA in 1959.

This song was recorded by Jimmy Soul (whose birth name was James Mc Leese), not the Coasters. Jimmy got his break into show business by recording songs that were originally intended for Gary US Bonds. This song was originally called "Ugly Woman" and performed by a singer called Roaring Lion (whose real name was Rafael De Leon), a calypso singer from Trinidad, in 1933. Jimmy Soul changed the title and it became a top 10 hit in 1963.

@hatatsuno

@cynthiahawkins2389

I am ugly, but my hubby don't think so. I'm a great cook, have lovely hair, nice gazongas, and my old man now weighs 265..so take comfort, girls!!!

@skipdow3

According to some info in the reading about Jimmy Soul, this song was written by a man AND a woman.

@charlesbutler4646

Unfortunately, truer words were never spoken. All my girlfriends and wives were very beautiful, and nothing but trouble.

@beckymartin12

well thats a shame,, im not ugly, not perfect,, but i can cook, clean and do lots of stuff, but the guy i was with for 20 yrs decided to dump me for someone older,, fatter and well way uglier, then he left her tried to get back with me and i said NO,,, his damn loss.. and i will either find someone who can and will appreciate me or i will forever be by myself,,,,,,,,,,,,
