I don't know who does it. But I gotta write my own version. Am going call it California Smooshing! Love this ship. Helps to be top tiers of course but she protects me so well with her AA so I can concentrate on smooshing enemy nasties. We fell behind early but my group at the far A cap refused defeat. So Smooshing we went. Now I got to try My New/Old Oklahoma. World of Warships did a good job restoring and repairing this Old girl. I really hope all my fellow Captains and their families are well and Shooting straight! I'm Heidi and I Smoosh! Looks like the picture won't show up.

Sorry, and I can't talk about age on here. But how would I know anything about this song? I hear some of Dad's music on his spotify but don't know anybody I hear except the Beatles and Elvis.

And it is up to you to know them. Now go forth, do your research, and be blown away by the greatness that came before you. That is the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

71 [-HEL-] Batmantis_ Members 198 posts 6,910 battles Report post #14 Posted November 25, 2020 A USS California post and it isn't @Soshi_Sone!? What devilry is this? Too many people are having fun with this ship, so I now expect to see WG bring out the nerf hammer again! You get 40sec reload and you get 40sec reload and you get 40sec reload, everyone gets 40sec reload! Well, I hear Country Roads playing, so I'll see myself out. Won't be shooting down many planes with Mountain Mama, but she can smash face real good. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, may I please direct you to MY favorite group - The Who. They were loud, obnoxious, talented rock long before punk was even born. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

543 [JWB] CrazyHorse_Denver Members 1,498 posts 17,859 battles Report post #18 Posted November 26, 2020 Here's the thing about that song. It was already considered a "classic" before your daddy was even born... unless he had you VERY late in life. But then that's what makes a song or book or movie a classic to begin with as each following generation discovers the magic that entranced the preceding generations.
