"The Lion Sleeps tonight". Must have been in 1972, the song was already 11 years old. I remember thinking the song had something to do with Lego windows. I can understand where the "windows" part of my thinking came from, but I can't fathom why I thought it had anything to do with Lego. Maybe I was just really into Lego.

I also remember that once I started listening to the words in songs, I was disgusted that all of them were about love. I complained to my parents, much to their amusement.
