The #1 song from 50 years ago was Al Wilson's "Show and Tell". If I remember correctly I had this on a K-Tel record.

Show and Tell
Songwriter: Jerry Fuller
These are the eyes that never knew how to smile 'til you came into my life (do-do-do-do-do)
And these are the arms that long to lock you inside every day and every night (do-do-do-do-do)
Girl and here is the soul of which you've taken control
Can't cha see I'm tryin' to show love is right
Whoa oh-oh-oh show and tell
Just a game I play when I wanna say I love you (I love you)
Girl so show me and tell me that you feel the same way too
Say you do baby
These are the hands that can't help reaching for you if you're anywhere in sight
(Anywhere in sight)
And these are the lips that can't help callin' your name in the middle of the night
(Middle of the night)
Whoa and here is the man who needs to know where you stand
Don't cha you know I've done all I can so decide
Whoa oh-oh-oh show and tell
Just a game I play when I wanna say I love you (I love you)
Girl so show me and tell that you feel the same way too
Say you do say you do baby baby baby
(Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah)
(Ah-ah ah-ah ah-ah)
(Ooh... ooh... ooh... ooh...)
Aaah... here is the soul of which you've taken control
Can't you see I'm tryin' show love is right
Ooh girl show and tell
Just a game I play when I wanna say oh I love you (I love you)
Girl so show me and tell me that you feel the same way too
Say you do say you do baby
Whoa oh-oh-oh show and tell
Just a game I play when I wanna say oh I love you (I love you)
Girl so show me and tell me that

Let's Go Racing Boys -Alan Wilson- Landsdowne Park - Larry Clark
Linda
I saw a posting of yours concerning auto races at Lansdowne Park which triggered a long forgotten memory. I quit school in early 1956 and went to work for the City of Ottawa, Assessment department (yes, I did run into Charlotte Whitton on an occasion or two). At one time, I became friends with the driver that was killed in a Jalopy race at Lansdowne Park– Al Wilson. (see the bottom portion…

"Take me in oh tender woman" sighed the snake
slobbing out warfers to those who believed
in their own stupidities
I feel like I should be signing up for a bunch of websites and offering reward money to anyone who can find me a song half as good as this from the last 5 years... offering a bounty.

Show And Tell ~ Al Wilson
These are the eyes
That never knew how to smile
Till you came into my life (do-do-do-do-do)
And these are the arms
That long to lock you inside every day
And every night
(Do-do-do-do-do)
Girl, and here is the soul of
Which you've taken control
Can'tcha see I'm tryin' to show love is right
Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "I love you"
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby
These are the hands
That can't help reaching for you
If you're anywhere in sight
(Anywhere in sight)
And these are the lips
That can't help callin' your name
In the middle of the night
(Middle of the night)
Whoa
And here is the man
Who needs to know where you stand
Dontcha know I've done all I can
So decide
Whoa, oh, oh, oh show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "I love you" (I love you)
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby, baby, baby
~ ♫♪♫ ~
Ahh, here is the soul
Of which you've taken control
Can't you see I'm tryin' to show love is right
Ooh, girl, show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "Oh, I love you"
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Show and tell
Just a game I play
When I wanna say "Oh, I love you"
Girl, so show me and tell me
That you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby, baby

I think one of my favorite Damian Wayne arcs is the time when Talia faked a paternity test that said Slade was Damian's actual father.
And by that, I don't mean that I want Slade to be Damian's dad. Absolutely not.
But the whole ordeal is so fucking chaotic that it's just the right amount of entertaining and ridiculous.
Let me give you a few information about this whole debacle, which is very crucial:
1. Talia knows Slade is not Damian's father.
2. Slade knows he is not Damian's father.
3. Damian knows Slade is not his father.
4. Bruce does not know that Slade is not Damian's father.
5. Damian, despite knowing that the test is obviously fake, goes on to live with Slade for a few days.
6. Slade does not want Damian to live with him.
7. Damian does not care about Slade's opinion.
8. Slade makes Damian wear a blond wig and Damian hates it.
9. Slade does not want Damian to call him "Father".
10. Damian calls Slade "Father", because yet again, he does not care about Slade's opinion.
11. At the end of this run, Damian goes back to his father. A bit later, Slade and Bruce have a fight in the cave. At the end Slade leaves without killing Batman and ruffling Damian's hair:
12. Why is this important? You may ask. Well later on, when Damian joins the Teen Titans, he goes on to kill Slade because he ruffled his hair:
13. He fails of course, but ends up with an eye scar caused by a bullet. Which, surprisingly, was not caused by Slade. In fact if Slade hadn't protected Damian, he'd probably be dead.
So that's why I love this arc.

I genuinely think that by some paradox DC was WAY more inclusive and "woke" in the '90 than now. Like so many POC characters, the firsts queer relationship in comics, many more disabled characters and representation than today. Not all of them were written well, mind you, but at least they were doing something instead of just showing up during Pride moth and then disappearing in limbo forever after a couple of cheesy lines. And we are not talking enough of all the disabilities erasure in the last years.
