Wasted Days and Wasted Nights and a Rhinestone Cowboy
When I was a little boy, I guess I listened to a lot of country music, because my two favorite songs back then are now classic country songs.
Wasted Days and Wasted Nights by Freddie Fender
Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell
I'm @runridefly, and I can remember singing both these songs to my mom while she would make my lunch back in the late 70s
Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell was popular in the Philippines in the late 1970s and still being played in jukeboxes in the rural provinces. If I was singing it I'll be mocked as an old-fashioned country yokel in the modern cities.
@darthnava, you don't have to be a country boy to enjoy a quality song. Thank you my friend.
Right you are, buddy.
That's the trouble with "Moms". They will listen no matter how much your singing sucks! #Angels
@ramblinmind, my mom always told me I had talents, but singing wasn't one of them. Thank you for the support.
I've been walking these streets so long..... (Ear worm)
@whatsup, classic!
I thought Rhinestone Cowboy was before late 70s.
@ace108, it was 1975 and I can remember singing it before 78, so I'm thinking it got a lot of tv and radio play in the in the late 70s.

Dude. I am all over Rhinestone Cowboy. I was not a country music fan but that song was everywhere. For some reason, when I was around 7 it was my thing to always say "whoop de doo" whenever I heard the "I'm a Rhinestone Cowboy" part. My teenage aunts and uncles wanted to punch me in the face.
@hanshotfirst, you and I were both born in the the early 70s, so I'm sure a lot of young kids heard this song a lot. I can remember walking around my dad's place singing Rhinestone Cowboy before my parents divorced.
