1965, Chevy Impalas in the driveway, shag carpet in the den, fondue pot bubbling on the table, brand new color TV/hi fl stereo unit playing this album. Ladies in their attached "fall" wigs, men in their polo style "penguin" shirts discussing Sandy Koufax and South Vietnam by the ball & chain chandelier, me and my sister sneaking fondue on to Cheese Doodles, that was all one evening in October 1965 at my parents' little dinner party, this one song triggered all those memories.

Pretty much describes my parents home 50 years ago. My dads 91 still has this album and about 1000 others. When he goes I get house and every thing in it. I think I'm just going to leave it all alone, rock table in resin, lava lamps and salt pepper shaker collection. When I'm 80 I'll be watching western movie reruns and listening to Herb Albert. Maybe I'll by a plane and just run out of gas.

As a college freshman in 1976 in Orono, Maine, one of my floor mates had this album. After a long winter and a case of spring fever, on a nice sunny spring day he would put his stereo speakers in his 4th floor window with "Whipped Cream" all cued up, while a group of guys gawked out of the windows. We would wait for a solitary girl or a small group of girls to be walking down the sidewalk, and then start the music. The girls' reactions ran the spectrum from those that out their head down and pretended not to hear it, to those that had the self confidence to ham it up and walk on like the bachelorette. It was funny and amusing stuff done in good fun. Great memories.

In the 60’s I remember this song 🎶 when they’d show the Dating Game with Jim Lang. This would be played when they would ask a contestant to come out and take a seat 💺 but the bachelors or bachelorettes were already behind a wall. As Jim Lang would ask the contestant that was ready to play as they were walking towards the chair 🪑 where he was at that’s when this song was played. The 60’s were great times for Easy listening 👂 music 🎶.
