My name is Mandy. I’ve heard people sing it to me over and over and over and over again.

When I was a bit younger, guys would think it was a good pickup ditty. I just rolled my eyes and said, “Do you think you are the first guy to ever do that to me?” Wouldn’t be the last. I’m almost 60 and people STILL do it.

ARGH!!!!

BTW, Bill and Taffy Dannoff, the founders of Starland Vocal Band co-wrote Country Roads with John Denver.

If you don't think that's the greatest song ever, he will fight you.

I used to blast this (and other songs on the same level) while driving around my hometown in high school as a joke.

I couldn't change the station fast enough whenever that started playing on the radio.

There is a scene of a faculty dinner party, that has this song in it. I can't find a clip, but it says everything there is to say about this song. A funny movie, too.

of the lyrics.

But, it's a fun catchy tune and an AM radio hit.

I remember people singing it in the streets of Brooklyn.
