Do You Remember These

"Do You Remember These" is a song written by Don Reid, Harold Reid and Larry Lee, and recorded by American country music group The Statler Brothers. It was released in March 1972 as the first single from the album Innerview. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, and No. 1 on the Cashbox Country Top 100. "Do You Remember These" was also The Statler Brothers sole entry on the Easy Listening chart, where it peaked at No. 18.

Background

The song was a landmark-of-sorts for the Statlers, as they began recording songs appealing to nostalgia. While part of that repertoire included covers of oldies and standards, several of their other biggest hits had lyrics that recalled good times of years past.
"Do You Remember These" is a list song recalling items and events that baby boomers and the Silent Generation experienced in childhood and adolescence in from the late 1940s and into the 1950s. The items mentioned covered a broad range of categories, including stars of the era, radio shows, fashion, brands, social activities, phrases, songs and childhood experiences.
The song caused some unpleasantness for the group in Britain, due to the reference to "knickers to your knees," meaning short pants or knickerbockers. In the UK, the phrase is taken to refer to women's underpants.
The nostalgia theme would continue in several other Statler Brothers songs, including "The Movies" and "Child of the Fifties".
