About 15 minutes into it I really had to laugh at myself.
I found myself singing along to the vignettes from a Time-Life infomercial selling "Classic Soft Rock" from the '70s. To my vague horror and amusement, I knew the words to every song they played yet I was barely out of diapers when these were on the radio!
I really had to restrain myself from ordering their set (20 bonus hits! plus an exclusive CD of 1977's top Soft Rock Hits! Not sold in stores!)
It was the testimonials (from satisfied customers) that snapped me out of it. They were all ageless boomers that had obviously "experimented" with the wacky tabacky back in the day.
I figure I'm about 20 years their junior so I'll let them revel in the big hair and synthesizers of that directionless time in rock history.
Dreams
Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
Its only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
Thunder only happens when its raining

I find myself singing along with those as well. I was in choir all througout my school years so I have quite a repitoire of songs.
You know the annoying person who breaks out in song and can find an appropriate song for just about any conversation?
Uh, yeah, that would be me.
Even in her last days, my G-Ma remembered something I said 30 years ago (or so)
"Grandma, why do you alyways sing everything I say?"
"Because everything you say reminds me of a song!"
