Amen, bro.
This has the potential to be really really good.
-
"listen without prejudice!" and we're not talking about george michael! i bet renee is cringing with all this black music.
yay - bos for the chords!!
-
Ooh! Early BOS to "Sh-Boom," another candidate for "first rock & roll song" along with "Rocket 88."
-
All right! Nice way to start the set.
-

i'm dj'ing tonight at the bar, and "sh-boom" was just cut from the setlist. such a fun song, but the theme this evening is lupercalia (pagan holiday prior to roman cancellation). so i can only play songs about sex.
woohoo!! i love lulu's version of "show me." never heard this one before.
-
BOS Joe Tex! "Show Me"!
-
Hoping Dave works in some Otis Redding (or Otis and Carla) at some point in the set....
-
I was hoping Dave would dig deeper with Ree-Ree.
-

oh I think that's a given. Hoping for "Gee Whiz", myself.
Ree-Ree's first appearance. Hard to pick just one of hers -- coulda done a whole set.
-
Natural Woman
so fine
-
I was hoping Dave would dig deeper with Ree-Ree.
this is the 'whitest' one, though, doncha think?
-
Aretha rules- but all I can think about is Gilda Radner as Emily Latella:
You make me feel like a national
Womaaan!

Have you ever heard an obscure new-wave-ish 80's track by a singer called Hillary? The repeated phrase is:
drop your pants
around your ankles
you make me shiver
when you deliver
-
yay for Tom Shayne!
and double yay for the Spinners' one-of-a-kind love affair!
-
LOL!!! Brilliant use of Tom Shane!
-
Natural Woman
so fine
as opposed to all those guys who made her feel like an UNnatural woman...
oo! I completely forgot about the Spinners. Nice choice.

Wow! Almost like Chi Coltrane's "Thunder and Lightning"!

I MUST find a copy of "Drop your pants" for you.

Reminds me of an old blues classic about a Dentist:
you thrill me
when you drill me
-
yowzah!! shutup roberta, and let donny sing!
-
hallelujah! for RayRay.
"Where is the Love?"
"It's out on that window ledge, Donny..."
-
Already send Dave my preemptive 10-way tie.
Brother Ray confirmed it, and Roberta and Donnie are right in there. Safe to say this will be the Set of the Week.
-
aack! percy!
-
I MUST find a copy of "Drop your pants" for you.
Per AMG: An obscure but interesting new wave/synth-pop singer who was active in the early 1980s, Hillary made her recording debut with Kinetic. This four-song vinyl EP wasn't a huge seller, although some dance club DJs were hip to quirky, European-influenced selections like "I Live," "Goose Step Two Step," and the title song (all of which were produced by Stephen Hague). Those high-tech tunes are oddly infectious, and the DJs who noticed them tended to be fans of such artists as Berlin, Soft Cell, Thomas Dolby, and the Human League. The track that enjoyed the most attention, however, was "Drop Your Pants," a humorously risqué number that finds Hillary telling a lover, "Drop your pants around your ankles/You make me shiver when you deliver." Long out of print, Kinetic is a record that fans of early 1980s new wave and synth-pop will enjoy if, by some chance, they're able to track down a copy.

Was with you up until the Percy, which is (a) perhaps the most overplayed song ever, and (b) kinda not the kind of message I wanted to hear.

my sentiments, exactly. i repeat, "ack!"

At least it makes up for yesterday...

another bos for tyrone! listen to the guitar and horns!
-

agreed, but you didn't really think he'd bypass this didja?
So what Otis will we get? I'm betting on "I've Been Loving You Too Long".
-
BOS to Sweet Tyrone. "Baby Can I Change My Mind" was one of the first songs Dave introduced me to, back in October of 1996. I remember grooving to it on my way outside for a Schwab fire drill one unseasonably warm morning. Guy named Gil Barrett was able to hear my headphones and was grooving to it too. A sweet memory.

Yeah, I'm with ya, simply based on overexposure. Make that a 9-way tie. File Percy under "concessions to the taste of the average foghead."
-

close, but no "cigarettes and coffee."
-
It's a "shaggy" dress? Oh shit! All these years I thought his was a "shabby" dress! (3DN's was a "funky" dress.)
-
another bos for tyrone! listen to the guitar and horns!
peoples let me tell y'all!
Otis pulls out that same ol' shaggy dress. 3DN, eat yer hearts out.

Was just about to say "Try a Little Tenderness" (honest!)--and now here it is.
Women, they do get wooly...from all the trouble and stress...

LOL! Yeah, I was thinking about that, too!

didn't someone get down to this song in an 80's sitcom? i'm picturing an elaine moment.
-
did anyone else see Tom Jones do this the other night on PBS? from an early 80's show
-
Two of my favorite bands ever were on Atlantic, but I'm okay that we'll not be hearing from them this day. Pretty great stuff so far...
-
Dazamn! Most unexpected and gleefully inappropriate of set, the Persuaders!
-
so far, the only remake i can't place is the spinners tune. michael bolotin covered percy, annie lennox did "thin line," and the committments had the otis...
-

I believe the orig lyric is "shabby", and that Otis mondegreened it.
WOS Persuaders. I have always found this song borderline awful. Don't cross yo' woman, she may try to keel you. Yeesh.
"are you hawngry, hawny?"
-

zep and....???
-
Didn't that sound like Al Kooper on the piano on that Otis tune? Reminded me of some old Dylan song, but I can't think which one with this "Thin Line" song on. A plenty weird song, I'd have to say.
-

I'm thinking of the Pretenders doing Thin Line

The J. Geils Band. Which made sense, really, as they were a white R&B band...

We heard 3DN's version last Friday on the Drive & I wrote Nuke LaLoosh: "...You know she gets woolly..."
-

The Pretenders also did a fantastic "Thin Line."
And there's Bette's "When a Man ..." from The Rose.

"are you hawngry, hawny?"
certainly not a loving song. it belongs in a set with "who's making love," "she's got papers on me," and "if you think you're lonely now."
i was one of the two "sh-boom" votes.
-
Love songs are short!
No shit! Completely wrapped up by 10:30.

Did he just say "The Pretenders with 'Thin Line Between Love and Hate'"???

I completely forgot they were on Atlantic. As were the Rascals (or were they Atco?).

I'm sure you're thinking of something else, but he played the organ on "Like a Rolling Stone", a story which Little Steven quite memorably retold on his show a few months ago.

He said "some people know this as a Pretenders song"

I was just remarking about which cover I was familiar with. Sorry if I missed the thread. I missed a little in the process of changing my laptop setup from one classroom to the other.

Rosalie gave the trivia "winner" a free ride, even tho' he couldn't pronounce Ahmet Ertegun's name.
and the bonus: "Tramp"
"woman, you koo-KOO!'
-
I must say that all the V-Day sets were excellent in their own special ways. And 3 theme sets in one day is a new record, no? (I guess Rob's 1989 set could be considered a V-Day set too, since that's the year we love to hate... :wink: )
