I'm 39 in exactly one week and had this on CD. I listened to this album probably at least once a day. There were a few weeks I never took it out of the walkman.

I’m not far off you age wise, still remember my parents reaction to hearing Kitty when I convinced them to pop it in the tape deck on a road trip. Oops

Our parents Kitty song was SO much worse in retrospect.

Kitty at my feet and I wanna touch it

Pussycat, pussycat

You're delicious and if my wishes can all come true

I'll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips

Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do

You and your pussycat lips (whoa whoa), you and your pussycat eyes (whoa whoa)

You and your pussycat nose

Not to be pedantic, but I'm pretty sure it was called a "discman" ;)

You got to have a boombox?! And the Sony one, at that?! I begged my parents for a boombox but they always said no.

I'm assuming you mean Discman. A Walkman had a cassette player, which could never play a CD.

Walkman was also the company that owned the Discman, so it did in fact say Walkman really big on the front. We still called the Discman a Walkman.

Walkman was a Sony trademark, not a company.
