Songs About The Good Old Days

Did you ever wish you could go back to the "good old days"? Yeah, me, too. These artists, too – so much so that they wrote songs about it and I found them. So take a listen...and enjoy!  ~  JH



1)  Macklemore ft. Kesha  ~  “Good Old Days”




2)  “Weird Al” Yankovic  ~  “Good Old Days”




3)  Joe Bataan  ~  “Good Ole Days / Muchacho Ordinario”




4)  blink-182  ~  “Good Old Days”




5)  Dolly Parton  ~  “In The Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad)"




6)  To Kill A King  ~  “The Good Old Days”  (This is a profoundly odd video. But the song is good, so I’m willing to appreciate the weirdness.)

13)  P!nk  ~  “Good Old Days”




14)  Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird  ~  “Good Old Bad Old Days”  (I’ve never heard of this guy or his band, but this song is quite good. And quite relevant for these times.)




15)  The Script  ~  “Good Old Days”




16)  Al Green  ~  “One Of These Good Old Days”




17)  Laura Cox Band  ~  “Good Ol’ Days”

25)  Smithfield  ~  “Good Ol’ Days”





BONUS TRACK:  twenty one pilots  ~  "Stressed Out"  (No, the phrase "good old days" doesn't appear in any form in the title of this song. But it does appear in the lyrics and is, in fact, repeated many, many times. Plus, it's a fantastic tune! So there ya go...)

Now we've come to the end of this miniseries. This set of songs is less of the ooh-ooh-I've-been-waiting-to-hear-that-one variety, and more of the I-like-that-song-but-I-never-realized-it-had-whistling-in-it or I've-never-heard-that-song-but-that's-some-darn-fine-whistling type. Enjoy!  ~  JH
