Yes, Remicks, to me and many people these still are classics! Wondering if junk by 50 Cent, Pipuffydiddydaddy and other extremely talented artists of today will be played after all those years. Don't think so :evil:

Let's face it, when compared to much of today's music, anything done 20 years ago or more can be called classics. This a generation that prefers lo fidelity mp3 disposable music.

Good grief, you can't beat Ken Dodd and the tickling sticks!

David Essex........er.......a girly thing!

I do know 'Mr Custer' but we had The Charlie drake version here. (A 60's UK comedian who also sung 'My boomerang won't come back').

[markydefad]

"Please Mr. Custer" was a hoary old novelty record....some Civil War doofus who didn't wanna go to war..."Please Mr. Custer (the General)...I don't wanna gooooo..."

Crap--best forgotten. Music for the "Hee Haw" crowd. :lol:

[Davicillo]

Marky, you haven't heard 'My boomerang won't come back'.
Truly awful.

If Rapper's Delight still a fan, favorite after 26 years, then 50 Cent, Biggie, LL Cool J, KRS-ONE and Diddy will be playing as OLD SCHOOL Hip/Hop Classics years from now!
