My name is zoom and I live on the moon...

Hey -

I had a really random thought today. Did anyone else on this board ever get the following record for their birthday as a kid. If you did, sing along.

"My name is Zoom and I live on the moon and I came down to earth just to sing you this tune, 'cause Joey, you're the big star today..."

- Joe

The used to sell them at Stop & Shop. My origional copy is on a 45 speed record that isn't even vinyl - it's that floppy-plastic sort of a record that you could throw on your Fischer Price record player.

My brother, who was born in '81 has it on cassette.

Man, I loved that song.

I was born in 80 and have it on vinyl. My cousin was born in 85 and he has it on cassette. But it's a slightly different song. LOL

That song is a legend in my family!!

I have 3 sisters and a ton a of cousins,and most of us have had that tape. I lost mine somewhere along the lines and I wish I could find another one!

But, yes, Zoom is a family favorite!
