Did You Ever Take a Magic Carpet Ride?

You know, it's interesting. If this song had been released today, I probably would've never heard it--much less list it as one of my favorites. But just like the song, Born to Be Wild, there was something about Steppenwolf's music that I could really get into.

"Magic Carpet Ride" appears in numerous movie soundtracks, including Star Trek: First Contact, Team America: World Police, Apollo 13, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Sahara.

Now that I'm older and have really listened to the lyrics, I wonder if this song was about sex or drugs or both. Do you know?

Born to be Baby Boomer Wild

OK...as you can see my taste in music VARIES. This is the song I sang during a karaoke night while my husband and I were on a cruise to the Bahamas. Actually, it was the second leg of our honeymoon. We spent the first part in St. Lucia.

I actually won a prize for this song---NOT BECAUSE I could sing--but I was very entertaining. I even got a couple of audience members up to dance with me.

I might also add there were members from the Couples Ministry from my church (including the pastor) on the cruise. I'm sure I was the subject of many conversations after that!
