Lastly, this song came out in 1984 when Bryan Adams was 26....if you look back at your life at 26 and say "the best days of your life" were when you were 10 then your life has sucked! Then again it is Bryan Adams

Bryan Adams was 10 years old in 1969! That means he got his first real six string when we was 10 years old...did children and youth question his mother when he came to school with bloody fingers? Also, who is this Jodi character... i f he got married then he is way too old to be in a 10 year old's rock band! And Jimmy...don' t even get me started. If he quit Bryan Adams band at the tender age of 10 then he probably quit on everything for the rest of his life! Lastly, this song came out in 198

This song is REALLY good. And once again I like almost all six of the "similar songs" listed there.
It's a lot like Jack & Diane - has the same "classic" sound going on. |

FYI; THE SONG BRYAN SAID WAS NOT ABOUT THE YEAR '69 WHEN HE AND COUNTRY SINGER JASON "BIG GREEN TRACTOR" um,hum COLLABORATED TOGETHER LIVE IN CONCERT. THAT WAS A GOOD SHOW JASON SINGING BRYAN'S SONGS AND VICE VERSA.

I liked this song somewhat until Adams said it was about the sex act 69, and not the year 1969. Just the thought of Bryan Adams in such a position is enough to make me not listen to music of any sort for the rest of eternity.

I want all girls to know that if they were with me. This is what I would do. I would sit them down to a candle light dinner with some soft music playing in the back ground. Then After woods I would sit down and snuugle with them while watching their favorite show.(don't care how girl the show is as long as the girl is happy). Then I will try to make out with them after or doring the movie, or show, or promgram. I will be all romantic to you. So check my email out at danielmcdiff i t t @ h o t m a i l . c o m

I agree. I remember my brother laughing at me at the time it came out, telling me that Bryan Adams wasn't even born yet in the summer of 69! ; ) Still love it!
