We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing . . .
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to
Keep me down ...

How great was Chumbawamba? How great was 1997's "Tub Thumping"? Almost as good, perhaps, as Spirit's "Fresh Garbage." Boy did that one ever dominate 1968 — remember?

Look beneath your lid some morning
See those things you didn't quite consume
The world's a can for
Your fresh garbage ...
Fresh garbage ...
Fresh garbage ...

We don't know about you, but we couldn't keep our feet from tapping!

(Typically, at this point, we would feign mock surprise that you have never heard of these tunes — mostly because you were minus-16 years old when they were popular. Also, because they were popular for 14 or 15 minutes.)

But no mock surprise today. We acknowledge that we are older than dirt, dinosaurs and yesterday's lunch. And we acknowledge that our preferences in music would damage the immune systems of our children. Lucky for us, they can't hear a blessed thing through their iPod ear buds.

Now that we've shared our fondness for music from the Pleistocene Epoch, it's your turn. And it's easy!

Just answer the following questions, turn your cell phone around and snap an image of your face, and send it all to kfarago@njpressmedia.com or amorrison@njpressmedia.com. Then you'll be famous ... or embarrassed like us. But is any notoriety really bad? Of course not!

Here, without further musical interlude, our questions:

Name:
Age:
Hometown:
Occupation:
Lived here since:
What album would we find in your iPod or CD player right now?
What genre of music do you prefer?
What genre do you hate?
Favorite artist of all time:
What was the name of the last album purchased? Would you recommend it?
Do you prefer to listen to portable music players or CDs?
First record:
First CD:
Do you prefer to download your music or buy CDs in the store?
What do you think of the music being released today?

And, if you fail to respond at all, our intrepid reporters Katelyn Farago and Aaron Morrison — whose e-mails are listed above — will be forced to listen to King Crimson, Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys and William Shatner's "The Transformed Man." That's right: the 1968 train wreck in which he compared contemporary pop songs to the works of Shakespeare.

Save Katelyn and Aaron. Respond today!
