OK so time for one of the most ultimate Meme songs: Sweet home Alabama. Listen out for the line: “Well I heard Mr Young sing about her Well I heard old Neil put her down Well I hope Neil Young will remember A southern man don’t need him around anyhow.” So these lines are in …
For all those Annie’s out there 🤩.
Another song from the band America. This live version of the song is not quite as polished as the studio version but still a pretty good rendition. A song that many a young teenage boy and girl have probably related to as they look for partner to walk with them on this very odd journey …
