DYK: That was originally a Vicki Lawrence song? Also there's a 1981 movie inspired by the song, though apparently with a different plot -- nm - ty97 May 8, 12:34 10
- I wasn’t certain on if it was original but I’ve only heard Reba’s version so… -- (edited) - Will Hunting May 8, 12:37 7
  - When I was a little kid I loved that song so much that I actually had the album. -- nm - pmb May 8, 12:42
  - You're in TN. I think you're contractually obliged to favor the Reba version. -- nm - crash davis 😺 May 8, 12:39
  - I only knew the Reba version too. I think I discovered the Vicki version within the past year and was like 'WAIT WHAT' -- nm - ty97 May 8, 12:38 4
    - Your campaign of posting subtle stuff like this to convince me that you are younger than me is failing to take root. -- nm - crash davis 😺 May 8, 12:41 1
      - I just confuse you by being wise beyond my years. -- nm - ty97 May 8, 12:48
    - The song was written by Vicki's then-husband, and went to #1. -- nm - ty97 May 8, 12:40
    - "Sweet little Vicki sang WHAT?" - Me. -- nm - ty97 May 8, 12:39
- "a 1981 American musical drama film starring Kristy McNichol, Dennis Quaid, Mark Hamill and Don Stroud" -- nm - ty97 May 8, 12:35 1
  - gotta love early 80s entertainment. -- nm - Andie May 8, 12:37
Vicki Lawrence is the version I prefer -- nm* - crash davis 😺 May 8, 12:33 1
