Child In Time So, it's a classic, now. It has been more than half a century. I thought it was good then, profound lyrics. What I didn't know then... Humble thanks for all this life. Brooding . It's all good

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the cover 'Till I talked to my daddy, he say He said, "You ain't seen nothing 'Till you're down on a muffin Then you're sure to be a-changin' your ways" I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder All the times I can reminisce 'Cause the best thing lovin' with her sister and her cousin Only started with a little kiss, like this See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school With your feet flyin' up in the air Singin' "Hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle Of the swing" like I didn't care So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Wasn't me she was foolin' 'Cause she knew what she was doin' And I know love is here to stay When she told me to Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Ah, just give me a kiss Like this School girl sweetie with the classy kinda sassy Little skirt's climbin' way up her knees There was three young ladies in the school gym locker When I noticed they was lookin' at me I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady 'Til the boys told me something I missed Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor So I gave her just a little kiss, like this See-saw swingin' with the boys in the school With your feet flyin' up in the air Singin' "Hey diddle-diddle with the kitty in the middle Of the swing" like I didn't care So I took a big chance at the high school dance With a missy who was ready to play Wasn't me she was foolin' 'Cause she knew what she was doin' When she told me how to walk this way She told me to Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, walk this way Walk this way, talk this way Just give me a kiss Like this

This is a modern interpretation of a mid 19th century Russian folk song. The title asks "What kind of songs are they singing in Russia?"
For two centuries, from the mid 1600's to the time of this song, many musical instruments were banned in Russia.
In case anyone cares, this band is not Communist and they are opposed to the war. They are first class musicians who love their home, nothing more, nothing less.
The instrument played by Alexey Belkin, on the left, is a traditional Russian folk instrument called a Gusli.
Strangest thing, I was innocently walking the path, when all of a sudden like, a riff entered my conscious stream of thought, out of deep memory, for no apparent reason. Couldn't recall the tune, the lyrics, artist, song, era, just that riff. Had to search for it later. This is it.
The thing is, at the time I wasn't a fan, and grew tired of hearing it constantly overplayed on am/fm radio. Now, having it explained today, I better understand the reason why the tune imprinted so indelibly. Message In A Bottle
