Is a hairbrush available?

This may really be for those of us who have more than a few years experience.

I was in the car listening to XM when Johnny Rivers started singing 'Secret Agent Man'. I went back in time. How many remember a song where we got mom's hairbrush and found a mirror to sing to? This isn't the karaoke in the car singing...this is REAL I'm the SINGER! And we were very young. Air guitar is one thing, but believing I could BE Johnny Rivers is another altogether. For those who remember their youth in a fond musical way, enjoy the memory and share the song with us.

I don't dig to karijoki or minus music to accompany singin'. I like it with guitar piano or harmonica. Don't care pretty much about mirror, but would probably wear dark glasses to create image of not seing public at all just like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles or Raul Midon!

To be perfectly precise it's "they've given you a number, and taken 'way your name."

Good song; good TV show.

Best regards,

Wow, I can't believe other people used to do this too. I used to play the air guitar using a yardstick and a broom handle for a microphone, and yes "secret agent man" was one of the songs, along with "Indiana wants me Lord I can't go back there". Also Elvis and "Suspicious minds". I'm sure my younger brother and sister thought I was nuts, but I enjoyed every minute of it!

Always good to have a lyricsmith on board for nearly 50 year old songs. :). Anybody got their own special song?

It's "Giving you a number and taking 'way your name..."

Glad to know that it wasn't an isolated case. Gee my parents could've saved thousands, but the psychiatrist would have never developed a healthy appreciation for rock and roll.

Guilty as charged. "Secret ayyyygent Mahhhhn. Secret ayyyygent Mahhhhn....Giving out your number cause they've taken 'way your name" 'Course I can't carry a tune in the proverbial bushel basket, so those around me requested I keep my adventures to myself. Not sure I ever grabbed the hairbrush, but I always wished I could sing.
