It's driving me NUTS. There are a few different versions of Wagon Wheel, but the part that goes "hey, ey, mama rock me" sounds like a snippet from a totally different.

The lyrics might be something like "hey, ey, i'm a _______"

Any ideas would me amazing. it's making my brain feel like mashed potatoes trying to figure out what other song my brain keeps associating with those ~5 seconds of Wagon Wheel

My aunt is 89 and has lived independently for the last 45 years - no children. It is becoming very unsafe for her to be out in the world alone, let alone to be driving herself anywhere. She has always been very busy (multiple activities and errands a day) and does not want to give her lifestyle up, but she is way too proud for caretakers/companionship and does not think she needs it (she can definitely afford it).

She loves us around so we've been spending more time, but she gets very defensive when a conversation comes up about getting her help or implementing things and services to make things easier for her. She is starting to miss bills, her neighbors have told us she leaves her front door/car doors open all night sometimes, she has called us while driving lost/forgetting where she was headed to. We haven't pushed a serious conversation too hard, but it's inevitably going to need to happen soon.

Have you had to intervene on an elderly family member's independence? How do you do this gently? Preventing them from driving, getting consent to get their bills on auto pay, making them feel open to caretakers and drivers, etc.

Thanks in advance for any experience shared - this is not familiar territory to me
