Jay Ferguson ~ Thunder Island

a song of Jay's i like made video because was no good studio version on video ...enjoy

[@rbilleaud]

This song makes me happy and sad at the same time. It brings me back to being 11 years old walking down the hot summer streets with my friends anticipating going to the pool later. Things were so simple and carefree back then. Now I'm 55, and things are so different. Got to worry about the wife and kids, the mortgage, bills, my job, investments and retirement, politics, sheesh. Wish I could go back.

Just driving with the windows down and summer breeze blowing through the windows. I am 50! And wish I was 8 again driving with my dad in the car going to my grandparents house.

This was a great time to be alive, the music was awesome, you had a paper route and could not wait to buy your next record. Simpler times they were indeed.

I look at them and laugh because they would think it horrible that when I was young, skinny, and with hair that flowed past my waist, I fell madly in love with a boy I met at the beach. We snuck off from our parents one evening and met behind a sand dune and stole a million kisses. No, we didn't go all the way, but I can still remember the smell of coconut tanning lotion and the salty air. Oh, gosh. I'm going to cry!

This song, in a weird way...takes me back to a college girlfriend. We were on Assateague Island...alone. Obviously we were dressed down in skivies. We fell asleep, and the ponies came and woke us up, literally nuzzling us to wake up. And then we ran around with them for hours just playing and chasing back and forth. It is probably one of the most fun times I ever had. My GF and I riding the ponies, and they seemed to enjoy. We ran into the surf with them, was like out of Black Beauty the movie. And I am not even a big horse person, and neither was she. And even though there may have been others out of sight, we were literally on an island with these horses/ponies, barely clothed, but playing/riding with them for hours all alone. This song always takes me back to that day for some reason.

Good times in the 70s. Was born in 79 but i love the music from the decade I was born in.

[@bubbarunner]

I have nothing but pleasant thoughts and memories when I hear this song; it really takes me back to what seemed like a carefree time in life.

[@sherriebrand1771]

I will never forget how remembering Jay Ferguson sang this song won me a grand in a trivia contest!! Now I love Thunder Island, like, a thousand times more!

[@not-so-smartaleck8987]

Catchy song, that I hadn't heard in decades (!!). 🙂

[@enlightenedsoul7145]

Born in 71' ,I must say I have always loved music. All music that is but these in this Era, will always be my all time favorite. This is such good stuff💗

[@cochise185]

What a cool song to remember the 70's by!

[@jarmstead5998]

I was home from the university, sick with bronchitis, and the doctor put me on some kind of codeine cough syrup like they used to do. I was out of it, then this song came on. That memory is cemented in good.

[@user-dm9my2lt4m]

Pamela Ruth Lee. Pierce and I had our own Thunder Island. Paradise! Rip. Pierce. Love you. Miss you. ❤😂🎉😮😮😅😊

[@maryajones3147]

I don't know why this song made me cry when I heard it on "Good Girls - 3/28/2021"

[@missoula1886]

I was surprised to see/hear this on GG's, too. Know the song well. From that era-- which was about fun, sun and boys & girls. Segues into some great memories. Small note: Joe Walsh's ripping-nasty slide guitar solo somehow missed the TV show cut. Weird. Take care.

because the America we grew up with is gone

[@anissaantwine8510]

Me too ❤️

[@stacymartin6363]

Me, too!

[@dbanks128]

Because America is gone

[@groovinmoose]

An outstanding song that hit the top ten '''despite'' being released right in the middle of the disco era......

[@bam6684]

Anyone else jamming to this in 2019

[@barryweinrich7289]

Usually on a 4 degree day

[@bearnova7529]

You know it

[@allanevans5590]

Still jamming as in like, yeah I listen to this sometimes, or as in, I've still got the chorus repeating throughout my brain on a continuous loop forever! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼😂

[@eddieray1344]

Yep great song reminds me of being 12 again long ago

[@davidalter1042]

me

[@gmfraizer73]

I haven't heard this song in decades and only decided to listen to it when I heard the name,"Jay Ferguson". I remembered it being pretty cheesy but I had forgotten how good it really is! This is a really good song from an exceptional year of music!

[@johnnacalverase2871]

Summer of 77, picking strawberries at the farm and riding home in pops car as a teen just imagining what the world had in store for me.

[@elgatogordo9523]

This jam totally kicks ass! Just turning 13 that summer and what a blast I had being a teenager in that era...

[@supernovasupernova9371]

What a super classic from 1978! Thanks for reminding us Family Guy lol. This was crying out from a lost cassette in my basement!

[@alvinjamesmeredith6219]

I did too, Dean. Every night with the music on. My bedroom was to the wall of the living room and my parents would have the TV blasting and I could not sleep well. I would put on the radio and sleep so much better. Oddly, to this day, I sleep with my music on from my PC as I sleep. Old Habits never die away.

[@Flagman00]

Beautiful song that brings back such great memories!

[@JooceMeister69]

I heard this watching family guy. Listening on repeat since.

[@jerrycohen9638]

Family Guy low-key has showed me countless hits that I've never heard before. Thank you

[@bradgrauer9148]

I graduated Highschool in 1977 I had an 8-track player with ELO and Steve Miller

[@KarenCores-mu4pq]

This song reminds me of such a simpler time in life❤

[@Missendora]

I'm sitting in the Midwest, smack dab in the middle of one of the worst winters on record, and this is a beautiful summery reprieve. Great song.

[@yarbie35]

I left the midwest just in the nick of time, I can personally say I did not miss the damned winters in missouri. We are in Southern California now but moving back to midwest soon.

[@jimogrady1131]

I live in Buffalo,NY snow was fun as a kid, That Blizzard of 1977 gave our city a name Snow Capital of the Country. I will admit we average 10-12 feet in winter. of all citys near Great Lakes why Buffalo gets most snow. It sucks people look down on us cause of our weather

[@larryadams2836]

Long live Buffalo New York

[@bluejeans1773]

Here in Michigan winter sucks 😂

[@76SRV190]

One of the great 70s songs. Love it still!!!

[@martinskelton2302]

I haven't heard this song in 40 years lol and I'm 57 yo

[@MnChainsFan1]

Yes Brian and Stewie brought me here tonight👌👌👌👌

[@randalkinnear2552]

year this came out, I went to Padre Island , Texas, for spring break. I listened to this all the way there.

[@sb4040]

@Brian He didn't say what happened on Padre Island, though. That may have been impressive. Or better.

[@dasboot19801]

Wow, does this one bring the memories flooding back. I've changed, so have the times, but the music is still the same. Hell of a tune.

[@pattymelton2540]

Takes me so far back to when I was a kid I love this song

[@trantowccocierazuz1102]

Summer of 1978 kicked *!!! those days oh those days. Brings a smile. and a bit of sadness
