Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Garden Party"
Opening Lines: I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends, A chance to share old memories and play our old songs again.
Comments: "Garden Party" was a #3 hit for a more grown up Rick Nelson (no longer, Ricky), in 1971. It actually details a party he went to where the audience wasn't too happy with a new and more grown up version of "Ricky" Nelson's songs, and ends with the good advice of "You can't please everybody, so you got to please yourself".
