60 Years Ago…the 60s reached peak-Bobby as Marcie Blane soared the charts when a Career Guidance
Counsellor asked her “what do you want to be, now that you’re not a kid
anymore?” and she answered “I wanna be Bobby’s girl.”
The Career
Guidance Counsellor looked crestfallen. Sure, it was the early 60s & career
options for girls who were not a kid anymore were limited (she probably
couldn’t have become an astronaut for example), but she could have become a
teacher. A nurse. A receptionist. The Career Guidance Counsellor realized they
had failed.
There were a lot
of Bobby’s in the early 60s. Which Bobby was Marcie referring to?
It was probably
Bobby Vee. He was a nice boy. Really nice. Probably too nice. It was kind of
weird how nice Bobby Vee was.
It might have been
Bobby Rydell? He was wild & he had wild hair.
Maybe it was Bobby
Darin? He was smooth. He could take her to fancy nightclubs!
It probably wasn’t Bobby Vinton. He was almost 30. That’s old! Ew! Also he was complete dweeb!
“Bobby’s Girl” is
