Two things from my son

Last night my son told me about two things I didn't know. One was a song that I never heard of that he said was really good and I needed to listen to it. So of course I had to listen to it. He stayed it and I started laughing so much, it is not typical of the type of music we listen to.
As I sat there listening to it, I was like it's actually kind of a catchy tune. It did make me laugh. Of course then I had to do a little research on the song and found that it was released in 1971 and it went to number 1 on billboard hot 100 singles in December of 1971 and January of 1972. It also went to number 1 in Canada and Australia and number 4 on the UK singles chart.
Take a listen and see what you think about it.
He also asked if I ever seen the show Atypical. He said it was pretty good. It's a comedy drama about an 18 year old boy who is on the autistic spectrum who is trying to find his place in the world and also trying to date.
I don't know who realistic it might be as I don't know of anyone who is autistic but it is entertaining and comical and a bit emotional too. I would say if you have not seen this show it is worth watching. I watched it last night on Netflix and there are 3 seasons on there right now.
Again, not sure how realistic it is to someone with autism but it is entertaining and worth a watch. I know it did make me want to learn more about this and I will be doing some research to learn more.
Hope you all enjoy your day.

A perky melody and descriptive narration of outpouring of feelings for lyrics.
Good music. Stories in a song can really fill the heart. Love it.
