And boy do I need this today! Could this be a Bob & Dave double '68 day?
-
Ooh, dare we dream ...
My suggestions:
1. Dells, "There Is"
2. Beatles, "Old Brown Shoe"
3. Jefferson Airplane, "Greasy Heart"
4. Wild Weeds, "No Good to Cry"
5. Supremes, "The Composer"
6. Box Tops, "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March"
7. Shadows of Knight, "Shake"
8. Four Seasons, "C'mon Marianne!"
9. Doors, "Love Street"
10. Monkees, "Listen to the Band"
-

2. Beatles, "Old Brown Shoe"
5. Supremes, "The Composer"
6. Box Tops, "Sweet Cream Ladies, Forward March"
all three are from '69 ("Brown Shoe" was the B-side of "Ballad of J & Y"); "C'mon Marianne" is from '67. But thanks for playing our game, we have some lovely parting gifts for you! :P

POC! Get over here! It's Kenny Rogers and the First Edition!
-
psychedelic, baby!
"Classical gas" into "Just Dropped In". Kenny, you were so groovy!
-
(For those requesting recaps: we started with Lisa Simpson, er, Mason Williams and "Classical Gas," followed by "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." Anyone know how they create that bubbly-vocal effect?

Did I ever tell you about the time I was walking through Washington Square Park and a homeless guy was rocking out to "Something's Burning"? He had headphones on and was stomping his feet maniacally as he sang the refrain:
*stomp* *stomp* SOMETHIN'S BURNIN'! *stomp* *stomp* SOMETHIN'S BURNIN'!
I was frightened yet fixated.

I thought it was the drugs...

"...and I think it's my feet..."

H E N D R I X ! ! !
-
Oh, for joy! Eleanor, gee, I think you're swelleanor.
BTW, the refrain originally went "you're my fab and gear, etc." but they changed it to gloss over the humor.
-
E L E N O R !
you're my pride and joy et cet'ra...
-
(before we hit the Turtles, we had Classic IV's "Spooky" and Jimi's "Watchtower.")
-
bos: the turtles!
-
Yeah, I think my BOS goes to the Turtles as well. One of the best examples of Sunshine Pop ever committed to wax.
Followed by the Amboy Dukes' journey beyond the realm of "what." (What a horrendous line.)
-
These are *psychedelic* lyrics!?
Why, cuz the use the word 'groovy' once?
You've got a thing about you
I just can' live without you
I really want you Elenore near me
Your looks intoxicate me
Even though your folks hate me
There's no one like you Elenore really
Elenore gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You?re my pride and joy etcetera
Elenore can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better
I really think you're groovy
Let's go out to a movie
What do you say now Elenore can we?
They'll turn the lights way down low
Maybe we won' watch the show
I think I love you Elenore love me
Elenore gee I think you're swell
And you really do me well
You're my pride and joy...
Elenore can I take the time
To ask you to speak your mind
Tell me that you love me better
Elenore gee I think you're swell ah ha
Elenore gee I think you're swell ah ha a a a

Phasers on Tommy! HM to "Red and Green"!
-
oh, yeah. crimson and clover, baby. that nice flangy guitar. maybe that's what they used on the first edition vocals. a flanger, not a phaser. or both.
this song is sooooooooo sexy. over and over.

Only if you're Cockney and pronounce it "wot." (As in, "Wot is he loike, anyway?")

I always heard that as "the Realm of Want", but the lyrics sites support your view not mine.
-
VHM Polaroid swinger commercial, though I thought that was later than '68.
-
and a little modulation in the recording there. not on purpose, i don't think. somebody slowed the record?

Ladies and Gentlemen... the LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG version!

"you're looking good today
you're looking good in every way"

actually what she said was, they wanted to be psychedelic but the record company said NO... so they wrote what they thought was a parody of bubblegum pop, expecting it to flop. And it was a big hit.
-
more psychedelica! it's bubblypuppy! no, wait. status quo!

Oh, I thought she meant that they tried to have their cake & eat it too, making a psychedelic bubble gum song.
Hey here's STAYtus Quo!

I always love it when this and The Amboy Dukes tune are in the same set; they're so completely linked in my mind as the two songs that summer that made me understand what this "Psychedelic" thing people were talking about actually was (since I was too young to do drugs).
-
Yay, made it in time!
-
i can't escape the moody blues, and certainly not this song! it's always in my head...
-
Ride my Seesaw, baby!
No wonder Bob's out today... he was dropping acid while putting this set together last nite!

"and Mason Williams gave the world classical gas..."
Uh, you wanna re-phrase that?
-
Postscript: after the set, the Drive launched into Elton's "Grey Seal." Fab song, alwasy reminds me of my first month in SF, wandering through the Tenderloin and the cable-car area.

i'd like to give the world some gas
in perfect harmony

Hey here's STAYtus Quo!
those wacky Brits -- it's STAY-tus Quo, but it's Candi STAT-on.
Of course, in the '80s their fave TV show was "Dinnisty"...
