Guess I'm not old enough. Never saw that thingy before.

Have seen that phrase on bumper stickers, though.

Wow. Thanks for the memory. I had forgotten the pink bikini poster... As a young boy in boarding school, I can tell you those two posters gave the Priests fits and were promptly removed.. However, as they say, "those were the days" - before everything went to pot.

No, no, no. The priests would have had this poster up.

You know you're old if you can remember who the band Slade is (or was). While growing up the U.K. during the 60s, 70s, and early 80s I saw Brit Bands from back in those days become huge worldwide. Some of Slade's major hits are now almost 50 years old! Here's one from 1973!

Then there was Sweet also from 1973.. Ballroom Blitz..

Dang does it seem like 50 years went by quick or what?

Quiet Riot did that song as well. That's the version I remember. Mid-80s.

I remember reading how Quiet Riot hated that song:

Frankie Banali has revealed the lengths Quiet Riot went to in the hope of sabotaging their cover of the Slade song "Cum On Feel the Noize," saying that they set out to make the recording an “intentional train wreck.” ... "I didn't care one way or the other, but Kevin despised the song.May 25, 2017

PS - I like Quiet Riot's version best.

As a Raleigh dealer, we sold a fair number of Choppers...then, as quickly as they appeared, Raleigh stopped exporting them.

I'm sure that lawsuits because the shift lever was a crash hazard played into that decision.....

Not only that lever. When our consumer product safety commission came around to address bicycle safety, the Chopper's chainguard didn't meet spec (not enough chain coverage) for single chainring bikes. It failed in other areas but the shift lever and chainguard were the two most notable.
