Me too!
We're not old, we just remember the original version of the the songs.



Doc, Here you go. There were multiple versions of the song, one instrumental and several with vocals.
http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/card/0,,464722,00.html (instumental clip)

Blue, blue, my world is blue;
Blue is my world now I'm without you;
Gray, gray, my life is gray;
Cold is my heart since you went away.
Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart

Bridge:
When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Repeat Intro:
Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone
Blue, blue, my world is blue;
Blue is my world now I'm without you.

It's not a bad old tune. I remember a girl classmate of mine sang it in front of our 5th grade class (in California, y'know). She did a nice job and I always regretted never telling her I thought so. We all clapped, though.

Not sure that I'm familiar with that.

[BajaOklahoma]

http://music.msn.com/album/?album=10075741 #10, a short clip

There was also a rumour that this song was actually a joke - the "hook" being the repeating line of a song. He supposedly wrote ti, never thinking it would actually play.


Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me

Girl, you're gettin' that look in your eyes
And it's startin' to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly, girl, 'cause I don't wanna leave
Don't start clingin' to me, girl, 'cause I can't breathe

CHORUS
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me
'cause I'll just use you then I'll set you free
Baby, baby, don't get hooked on me

Girl, you're a hot-blooded woman-child
And it's warm where you're touchin' me
But I can tell by your tremblin' smile
You're seein' way too much in me
Girl, don't let your life get tangled up with mine
'cause I'll just leave you, I can't take no clingin' vine

CHORUS
CHORUS FADES
