Well, we didn't get home until almost 8:30 tonight and then needed to watch "BIG BROTHER" and do some 'domestic chores'...and then realized...DOH...you didn't do a post yet!
We have a slight headache, so we are going simple today...
Summer...beach...romance...it all rolls together when you grow up near the beaches, which we did.
Hot summer nights on the boardwalks...on Long Island they weren't mini-amusement parks...just beautiful boardwalks for miles...
Then we would also go down to the NJ beaches and their boardwalks with the games of chance and the bars....
And we also did it the summer we turned 16 in New Hampshire....
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, on a blanket with my baby...is where I'll be...
"UNDER THE BOARDWALK"

Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)
From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel
Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)
Oooooh, under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun
(Under the boardwalk) people walking above
(Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love
Under the board-walk (board-walk!)
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof
Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
(Under the boardwalk) out of the sun

I have many, many fond memories of being on the beach, both fun and romantic. Thanks for the trip down memory lane...
That's one of my favorite summer tunes, or tunes about summer.
Sorry to hear about the headache - I hope it gets better.
Good morning, my dear friend!
What a great way to start my day... sitting on the couch, having a coffee, listening to "Under the bordwalk"... singing :"Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, on a blanket with my baby...is where I'll be..." Hope I didn´t wake you up =)
And here I thought I was the only one who watched Big Brother. Good to know I'm not alone. LOL But I bet you're not as obsessed as I am. I wrote a whole post about it last night.
As for that song, I remember my friend and I heard that for the first time when we were about 9 or 10 years old, and we always thought it was 'dirty'. LOL I guess I lived a sheltered life back then.
sarge and i never miss big brother! we hate them all but just keep watching. i personally hope for a new twist, send them all home and give julie nothing to talk about and send the prize to charity. but still i watch, it's a sickness, i know...
smiles, bee
Great Tune. Have a good weekend Vin. Cheers!!
Fun times at the beach..

SONGBIRD: Ah... the beach...yes..so many memories...
TRAVIS: Glad you enjoyed...the headache took over and became a migraine, but thanks
SANNI: No you did not disturb me at all.. nice voice..
TWYLA: I watch every episode..guilty pleasure and all...LOL..'dirty'...well, it some ways...back when it was written it was a bit risque
BEE: ah, now I do not feel that strongly about this group, but they are the most self-centered they have ever had, but...it would not be fun if they weren't
MATT: thanks and you also my brotha
ANNDI: Yes, hampton Beach... hummm I was not blonde though, but if I were, you would have been like 2 when I was there LOL
STARR: YES! EXACTLY!

You're just lovely.
TRAVIS: TY my friend
108: KYRA...sigh.... yes I know..... And you are making me blush.... KISS

Vinny-
There are not a lot of perfect songs (like "You've Lost That Loving Feeling") but this tune is another one. Keep up the fine work, my friend!
Awww, headaches suck. Hope you feel better soon!
By the way, I have access to the beach 24/7...of course, it's rocky and seaweed strewn, but it's still the beach! LOL :P
108: KYRA ---- GROPE
BUD: TY, I think it is almost perfect also
MERI: Ummm is that really a beach then? LOL Kidding.... thanks on feeling better...
Thanks Bond! Time to go pop a beer cap have a great weekend ;D
That's one of my absolute favorite songs--
And you know how obsessed I am with the ocean *giggling*
Sorry bout your headache sugar
Smooch
Bruce Willis sang this song on his album "Return of Bruno".
No, I don't want to tell you how I knew that.
Love the tune - sorry I'm so far behind - but vacation without a laptop does that to you....
SMOOCHES.
