Old Time Rock n Roll - Bob Segar

We here at home love watching 'The Nanny' in the Hallmark channel. I actually forgot how funny the show was having watched it years before. Fran Drescher's voice is of course nasally, and annoying as usual but the show's worth enduring it. It airs everyday in the afternoon, but we choose to watch the reruns on Sundays because it's a 5 episode marathon. never gets boring.

Niles, the butler (Daniel Davis) is easily my favorite character in the show, with his quick wit, and his endless insults to CC Babcock. (and the pleasure he takes from it too.)

In one episode during the second season, (Canasta Masta) Everyone takes a trip, leaving Niles alone in the big ol mansion. and in the end, you see him in his undies dancing & lipsynching to Bob Segar's 'Old Time Rock and Roll' with a feather duster dualing as a microphone and a guitar in the living room. If that wasn't funny enough, CC walks in on him. For those who aren't familiar with the show's running jokes, this doesn't seem much. But for me, I'm already laughing my head off. (galing niya sumayaw, in fairness. lol.)

'Old Time Rock n Roll' is now a favorite of mine, not just because of Niles (but that is one of the reasons. hihi) but because the song says exactly how I feel about today's music, that's why I usually prefer old songs than what's 'hot' now.

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Todays music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n roll
Dont try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock 'n roll

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Todays music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n roll
Dont try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock 'n roll

Still like that old time rock 'n roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock 'n roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock 'n roll

Still like that old time rock 'n roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock 'n roll
