TuNesDay: Songs the Bring Us Back to a great Memory

Who used all the Wi-Fi?

Ah, apartment life.

Bad Wi-Fi, mystery laundry piles, and a roommate who says, I'll Venmo you.

Maybe 2027 deserves an upgrade.

Coming August 2027, Four Lakes Properties introduces the brand new Union Station Apartments, furnished in-unit washer and dryer.

Internet included a great central downtown location, one to five bedroom apartments, and no double occupancy fees.

That's less adulting and more actually enjoying where you live.

Union Station Apartments, now leasing from Four Lakes Properties.

Wait, we have a washer and dryer in the apartment?

apartment?

Hey, it's Waters from the Waters' Week of Call.

Oh, what a tunes day morning we had, talking about the songs that trigger memories that have a great story involved.

All right, Trucker Todd, let's hear yours.

We had a class reunion, and there was a gal I probably had a chance with, that senior prom.

Yeah?

Too bashful.

Yeah, I can tell you that type.

At the class reunion, she was all dolled up, long, cool woman in a black dress.

Oh, my goodness.

Did you get up the nerve at that point in time?

Did get a chance to dance with her a couple times.

And then I'm sure you went off and had a good three-four year relationship and then you dumped her.

No.

Okay.

Went there separate ways until 40th.

And then you saw her

again?

You saw her again and I was just thinking that I didn't go forward with that.

Really?

So it started off as a long cool woman in a black dress and then came to separate ways by journey and at the end, don't do me like that, maybe.

Can't fight this feeling by Ario.

Well, but there's a girl involved.

I saw Ario concert when I was a freshman in college

at

the Unido and this girl behind me couldn't see over me.

So I helped her.

Bleach your behind me?

Yeah, yeah, then?

That song started and I reached for her hand.

And she screamed?

Followed me home.

And she followed you home?

Yup.

Was she a couple of feet behind you so it was creepy or was she still holding your hand?

She had her hand over my shoulder, the whole concert

and stuff.

So a romance was born?

Uh-huh.

And then we said goodbye, she went to her apartment and we...

Talk the next day.

And then what came of that?

The future of you two.

What?

She graduated, so I had to say goodbye.

Always find a dumb girl, D-Man.

They don't graduate.

They never move away.

Oh, that just sounded silly.

I, uh, just a dope.

It got me laughing, man.

I love that.

New Year's Eve, 1989.

I was a senior in high school.

I was dating the prom queen.

I was batting away out of my league.

Look at you.

We went to a New Year's Eve party and had quite a bit to drink.

Came back to her place and things...

Oh boy.

All that.

Did she call you Top Gun after that night if I may ask?

No, definitely not.

Oh, that's too bad.

So

what happened after

that one night?

Prom

Queens will always break your heart.

Maybe you broke her

heart.

You're doing better in the end.

I've got one of

the real stories you're looking for.

Oh,

excellent.

Let's hear it, my friend.

It happened when David Lee Roth and Cinderella were touring, and it was April 30th, 1986.

OK.

I was laid off, and a friend of mine said, hey, you know, I worked my night shift at the convenience store, you know, at Jiffy Mart on First Avenue, and I said, fine.

So anyway, it was a Wednesday, 9 o'clock.

I'm getting ready to leave rush hour traffic on First Avenue and Cedar Rapids.

Three blocks from the police.

This is crazy a girl walks in in a purple negligee and it's chilly out and the manager She said her jaw falls open the girl gets a beer and a pack of smokes and I'm checking out the girl

I

asked

her

are you okay?

She goes.

Oh, yeah, there was a concert at the five season center last night So I was up there all night.

It's like

wow,

so I'm the night shining over I'd go.

Would you like a ride someplace?

I had no bad intentions whatsoever.

Sure.

She goes no, that's fine

So I leave ahead of her and I look outside and there's four cop cars sitting there waiting for her

right

she walks out the door and She goes I'll take that right now.

I pull out two cop cars pulling behind me I shoot the gap on 1st Avenue and the head of me two cop cars Blocked me one coming the wrong direction on 2nd Avenue the helicopters overhead

two

cars pull up on both sides of me I look at her and I go what did you do and she goes I didn't do anything and

They come up, they ask questions, and they let us go.

The next day, my buddy comes in, and he goes, was that you?

And I go, was that me?

What?

They gave the hooker a ride.

And I go, how did you find out about that?

And he goes, I have coffee and donuts with the cops in downtown Cedar Rapids.

You're the talk of the police department.

I'm like, oh my god, I was just being the knight in shining armor.

But Roxanne always reminds me of that girl.

We should call that story the hero and the hooker.

Yeah.

Wow.

What a story that is.

But I'm thinking the police understood the situation you explained to them.

Oh,

they did.

You

know, the sergeant that interrogated me, he goes, what are you doing?

I go, I'm giving her a ride.

He goes, do

you think that's wise?

And I go, it's chilly.

Look at the way she's dressed.

Right.

That'd be

afternoon delight.

Is it family friendly if I ask you what that particular song reminds you of?

It's a little bit more than awe.

A little bit more than what?

I rate it.

Not really something to get into a whole lot.

Were the two of you working up an appetite?

Yeah, high school.

It was great.

Lake.

Right?

Sky

Rockets.

Oh yeah.

This song, when I left the one weekend, it was about a three hour drive, I think I hit it four times in a row as I switched radio.

Oh

boy, were y'all by yourself in your car listening to this song?

Oh yeah.

Oh, that's gotta be tough, especially after that first story you told me.

That was

a

great story without even telling it.

Good morning, Mike.

Good

morning.

Shakey Jake, what's happening?

Well, I have a memory song for you.

Okay.

That would be Molly Hatchett flirting with disaster.

Was this memory flirting with disaster?

Actually, it was.

Actually, it was.

Okay, I'm dying to hear

it.

35 mile an hour gas curves.

And I used to take him at 90.

The object was he had to stay in your lane of the traffic.

And then I took it at 95.

Uh-huh.

One night.

And one

night I took it at 105.

And the rear of the car started to break loose.

Good Lord, man!

My eyes got a little big and...

Yeah?

Crazy stuff.

Crazy stuff.

Who are you, Tiger Woods?

Okay, the first time you hear the first two notes of Poison's talk dirty to me, when we were in high school, there were a group of friends and it was platonic relationships, truly.

We were all just a bunch of friends that got together and we would get together with kids from another neighboring school district.

There might have been a little bit of alcohol involved, I'm not sure.

You're high school, you don't do that in high school.

There

may or may not have been.

Okay, may or

may not.

Well, we'll just assume may not have been then.

No, not, yeah.

But you know that, how you're at a party and all of a sudden you hear the first two beats and your eyes get really big and you look at your best friend and you're like, yeah!

Yes.

Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Okay, I was living out in Las Vegas and the apartment above mine was rented out to an intern minister and his wife from the Quora and when they got ready to come back here they had their friend come out to help them move back and last day that they were there they needed help loading stuff onto the U-Haul and their friend and myself stayed up all night talking to each other and the next day she got in the U-Haul and

Wow.

Jesus.

And

certainly nothing did.

Well,

that's pretty cool, man.

I'll tell you what, you meet an Iowa girl, you never look back.

Yep,

that's right.

Yeah.

Cool.

When they come out and they started doing that song everybody got up they rushed the stage but back then people were pretty mellow and They would sit on the floor.

So anyway, they got too far up and when they tried to sit down it was like the domino effect and there's people everywhere I still remember arms and legs sticking up in the air and stuff so that's Kind of my my little chuckle and it was really good because we did a lot of digging this to get us all out of it

Yeah,

I'll bet so this whole crowd of people rushed the stage and all tried to sit down Didn't work right dominoes and people fallen to the floor everywhere

Absolutely.

It was very funny.

It just looked crazy
