their "baby foto collection" Some Girls Wander By Mistake.
In the 1990s, 1969 was also covered by the Speed Kings ...

Lyrics
Well allright!!!
It's 1969 ok
We got a war across the USA
There's nothing here for me and you
We're just sitting here with nothing to do
There's nothing here for me and you
Another year with nothing to do
Now last year I was 21
I didn't have a lot of fun
Now I'm gonna be 22
So, oh my, I'll boohoo
Now I'm gonna be 22
So, oh my, I'll boohoo
It's 1969 ok
We got a war across the USA
There's nothing here for me and you
We're just sitting here with nothing to do
Well it's 1969, baby
Well it's 1969, baby
It's 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9-teen 69
Teen 69 (3x)
Yow!!! (3x)
