Red Rubber Ball - Cyrkle

Columbia Musical Treasury of All Time Favorites presents:
The Sensational Sixties.

I should have known you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now, I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

You never care for secrets I confide
For you, I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

The story's in the past with nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

Oh, I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

Why teenagers ( around my age : 13-14 ) listen to crap like Justin Bieber and fast rapping.....I have no idea. This is waaaay better. And I'm only 13, turning 14 on Saturday!

[BADBIKERBENNY]

Duck! There is also Britney Spears and Lady GaGa. Great message to young girls. Be porny, corny and horny. Scamper about in a cheap flimsy outfit waving your bits. Great way to catch a man! Why I jive to the Supreems, Tina Turner, Madonna.

[QueerAndUnplugged]

Had to read that twice...thought you were talking about the Beebs scampering around in those cheap flimsy outfits. The shoe kinda fits.

[BADBIKERBENNY]

It appears I have offended you? Every person is entitled to their kind of music, for me, this is it.Music today is not my bag baby! I have seen Spears and GaGa a few times, they can not compare to the Supreems, Tina Turner, Madaona. Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix. Todays’ generation does not know good music. I am not going to apologies for expressing what I feel about our fucked up world we live in today. Good day to you.

[Marsh Picker]

Do you like him that much, holy cow, you are so wrong.

Justin Beiber never would have made it then.

Sorry, but we had great music in the 60's.

But if 'Cyrkle' was here today, they'd be at the top of any chart.

[Marsh Picker]

And I say NEVER apologize for stating the obvious.

I agree with you 100 %..

[Thanasak Nokkruit]

Hi i see you

[QueerAndUnplugged]

so so wrong. these dudes were talented and kinda cute -no makeup like the beebs.

[OU812ICRUNVS]

Excellent!  Been years since I've heard this.

On this day in 1966 {April 11th} the Cyrkle performed "Red Rubber Ball" on the NBC-TV program 'Hullabaloo

One month later on May 21st it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #2 {for 1 week} and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100

And on July 11th it reached #1 {for 1 week} on the Canadian RPM Tracks chart; and the record they knocked out of the top spot was "Paperback Writer" and at the time they were the opening act for the Beatles during their summer tour in the U.S.A.

[BillyRosinet]

This tune was the prototype for everything written by Taylor Swift.

[Andrew Saturn]

this was the justin bieber of the 60s
