Although it seems like iTunes has the entire Captain and Tennille catalog, there do not have "Butterscotch Castle" from that 1976 classic album Song of Joy. My inner five-year-old is pouty, because that was a favorite song at that age. I have previouly confessed in this space a fondness for "Afternoon Delight" - clearly, there was a lot of horrible AM radio going on in our household in the mid to late 70s.

Lyrics behind the cut, you lucky bastards, and if anybody has an mp3 of this lost gem, OMG hook a girl up!

Hurry on down to our Butterscotch Castle
We want to show you the place where it all began
There´s a big old dog in the front yard
And an old grey cat on the back porch
And in between the walls there are peace and harmony

Come on along to our Butterscotch Castle
We want to show you the place where it all began
There´s the morning sun in the kitchen
And there´s always a bird when you listen
And underneath the roof there are joy and love to share

Oh, everybody needs a home
Where all the vibrations are flowing in a positive way
What a great day, the day we discovered the castle
Sitting on its own little hill and it seemed to say
So you finally found the way!

Living is sweeter than butterscotch pudding
With honey-bright days and beautiful licorice nights
And I know we´ll always be here even if we leave it behind
The memories of loving and laughter will shine in our mind

Hurry on down to our Butterscotch Castle
We want to show you the place it began

Vibrations! Flowing in a positive way! To properly appreciate this song, I think you must be:

(a) five
(b) stoned
(c) hungry
(d) a collector of Precious Moments
(e) all of the above.

omg, I'd forgotten all about that song - I used to love it when I was a kid too!

Now I wanna hear it again too. LOL

I don't know if you saw my post from last night, but if not -- the discs arrived yesterday. I haven't had a chance to try them yet because I was working super late last night and family crisis tonight, but thank you *so* much for sending them to me -- you're a gem ♥

Oh, awesome. I hope you have a chance to lose yourself in it a little bit soon. He's a beauty. I hadn't realized until just this week that he was Brian in PBS's v. first adaptation of "Tales of the City" and so last night M. dug out the old VHS tape for me and god, he was so PRETTY there. *loves*

I watched the first ep of S&A last night; it took a bit of messing about to get it to play, but am intrigued! I haven't ever seen Martha Burns before, so it was interesting to finally see what she looks like. AM looking forward to some down time to watch everything else. Thanks again ♥
