By the way, most of the songs listed in this thread is more "old-school" then "oldies." Oldies usually refer to Doo Wop/Rock(50's,60's,almost early 70's.) As opposed to Old School which can refer to Soul, R&B, Funk, Disco, and whatever else you like(70's,80's, almost early 90's.)

I thought Brenton wood sang "I'm your puppet?" Or is that just a different song?
