Brand new record, just hit the charts, right? So I brought it home and put it on the record player.
All of a sudden here’s my mom coming into the room, singing the lyrics! Boggled my mind, until she dragged out an old 78-rom record from HER collection with the exact same song on it.
Moral of story — there ain’t nuthin’ new under the sun!
