I usually resist going along with the stereotypical humor of aging ... except, of course, when it’s funny.
My sister sent me this list. It appears that some of the artists of the 60s and 70s are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers. (Not really, but read on anyway).
1. Herman's Hermits--- Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Walker.
2. The Bee Gees--- How Can You Mend a Broken Hip
3. Bobby Darin--- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' a Flash.
4. Ringo Starr--- I Get By With a Little Help From Depends.
5. Roberta Flack--- The First Time Ever I Forgot Your Face.
6. Johnny Nash--- I Can't See Clearly Now.
7. Paul Simon--- Fifty Ways to Lose Your Liver .
8. The Commodores--- Once, Twice, Three Times to the Bathroom.
9. Marvin Gaye--- I Heard It Through the Grape Nuts.
10. Procol Harem--- A Whiter Shade of Hair.
11. Leo Sayer--- You Make Me Feel Like Napping.
12. The Temptations--- Papa's Got a Kidney Stone.
13. Abba--- Denture Queen.
14. Tony Orlando--- Knock 3 Times On The Ceiling If You Hear Me Fall.
15. Helen Reddy--- I Am Woman, Hear Me Snore
16. Willie Nelson--- On the Commode Again
17. Leslie Gore--- It's My Procedure and I'll Cry If I Want To.
Gen-Xers who read this ... don't feel bad if you don't know some of the original titles. I'm certain someone will do this to 80s and 90s song titles one day.

Of course, I'm somewhat of a music geek...
