Tie a Yellow Ribbon

"Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" by Tony Orlando and Dawn from their album I Can't Believe How Much I Love You was number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973, my birth year.

Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons round the ole oak tree
I'm comin' home

The most popular song when I was born -- no wonder, I don't easily get offended when I'm name-called "dilawan." And I do get teary eyed at times when I imagine how an old oak tree full of yellow ribbons would come into view of a window of a bus full of people cheering on your behalf.
