To quote a song from a certain John Waters adaptation, "Welcome to the 60's." And to mark the occasion, here's some songs from that decade of sex, drugs, and rock and roll! Woo!
So our modern perceptions of any given decade are rarely exhibited by the Billboard Hot 100 charts, especially when the decade is only just starting. I have my own thoughts on when the 60's truly comes into its own, but we'll get to that later. In the meantime, the top hits of 1960 wouldn't seem that out of place in the 1950s. Compositions, traditional pop, and doo-wop. Elvis is back on the charts after his time in the military.
However, there is one song featured in this poll that was truly a sign of where pop music was heading. If anyone can't figure out which one it is, don't worry. The same song will return in a future 1960s poll.
I played this one once before, back in 2020, and it was on my list of “songs that pop into my head unbidden in the middle of the night.” So, what better time than the present?
This song was written by Jiles Perry (aka J.P.) Richardson, an influential Texas disc jockey known as “The Big Bopper.” Richardson had a hit of his own in 1958 with Chantilly Lace, and on February 3, 1959, was killed in…
“Kaw-Liga”
KAW-LIGA, was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
KAW-LIGA – A, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer “YES” or “NO”.
He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he’d talk
KAW-LIGA – A, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his…
Is it just me, or is there like nobody left on Jackass/CKY tumblr? Like there used to be so many writers and fan accounts on here but everybody's gone😭😭😭
Anyways, here are some of my favorite pics of the guys as my contribution to keeping Jackass/CKY tumblr alive🥲
an: just some headcanons that i’ve been thinking about lately lol
I love johnny’s shirts but you would have an even better wardrobe
basically this:
you’re not afraid to kick all of the guys’ dick when they’re being assholes or just annoying
you love hanging out with johnny’s daughter if she’s on set (she’s not on set often but when she is you’re literally best friends)
you’ve probably broken an arm and a leg at the same time
you know practically everyone had beef with each other in the early 2000s?? NOT YOU or if you do want to have the whole hollywood experience then you do you <3
you definitely made some appearances on viva la bam
chris + you = besties THAT IS ALL I WANNA BE FRIENDS WITH CHRIS
you cannot go a full five minutes without cursing (me, it’s literally my vocabulary)
you know how when dave england gets drunk he’s like the worst?? you’re not that bad but when drunk dave is doing stupid shit drunk you is hyping him up
you’re always gaslighting the guys
you would shoot someone with the paintball gun (probably johnny or bam) and they would be on the ground in pain and jeff would just ask “what happened?”
you, casually with a paintball gun in your hand, shrug
“SHE SHOT ME”
“that never happened”
ok but i also love that the only female jackass member would have an obsession with dyeing her hair idk why
nvm i do bc imagine being on edge at work all day bc you think the guys are going to prank you
stress = hair dye i don’t make the rules
SPLIT HAIR OR IDK THE PROPER TERM BUT YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Jackass is literally one of the most positive shows to ever exist- like- it makes me want to hang out with my friends, skate, make some memories and really live
