Your reply brought back memories. The two songs I remember hearing constantly during Driver's Ed was Brand New Key and American Pie. That was fall of 1972. Brand New Key was definitely one of those songs that could get stuck in your head.
I lived in a rural county, so our Driver's Ed teacher took us into Charlotte for a exerience driving in traffic. That ended after one of the students was involved in an accident.

I remember when the movie Grease was all the rage and I didn't really want to go see it because it seemed like a teen-age fan girl flick. Eventually my curiousity got the best of me when I had a chance to see it at a low cost second run theater. I thought I would probably hate it but it turned out to be pretty entertaining. I came out of it having a bigger crush for Didi Conn than I did for ONJ, lol. And that still stands.
Anyway, I like her older songs the best. One of her number one hits that you never hear on the radio anymore (for decades) is Have You Never Been Mellow. Well, that was one I didn't care much for but if i were to play it on You-Tube I would get a pleasant flashback of being in Driver's Ed because it was constantly being played on the radio while we were getting our driving time in (spring 1975).
