That's because it's Santana covering Russ Ballard... :wink:

Not my favorite Santana song either. WOS to "Winning."

Alicat, if she's not here yet, gives a proxy BOS from Room 714.

Me too, I remember playing Ballard's original version in '77 on my college station. He had written a hit for Hot Chocolate ("So You Win Again") which made me a fan of his.

Hot Chocolate for a little while really almost rivalled Three Dog Night as trash-singles acts go, doesn't it seem in hindsight?

I wanted to call it "I'm Whinging"
(but Beej, pass me the tambourine, eh?)

just don't call it "I'm WingDing", 'cause it's "Spring Break" now.
-
Clapton running neck and neck with Santana in the sleepwalking sweepstakes. At least "I Can't Stand It" has a better refrain.

maybe that's what "spring break" is screaming:
"don't you think i've changed
'cause i'm still the same
you can bring your kids
and drink cheap champagne
great america rules
'cause they've got cool rides
if you act real nice
they'll let you inside!
i'm wingding..."
i'll spare you all the potstickers song i wrote to the tune of "hot-blooded" while i was cooking last night.
-
VHM to the Stones. As far as I'm concerned this was a major comeback record for them.
-
"Pot-stickers! Eat 'em and see
You'll geta fever of 103..."
-
early bos to the stones!!
"i'm not waiting on a lady!
-
"Pot-stickers! Eat 'em and see
You'll geta fever of 103..."
ha! sort of
potstickers! cook 'em and see
at a temperature of three-hundred-three
come on, baby, won't you grease me a pan?
potstickers! potstickers!
you don't have to read the side
to see what they have inside...
...now it's up to you
we could make a gyoza rendezvous!
-
when the stones song began, i thought it was aztec camera doing "jump!"
yay for hall and oates! get yer clappin' hands ready!

RGMike squeals with delight at H&O's "Private Eyes."
BTW, 50 Cents bodyguard was apparently shot a few blocks from my apartment last night. Fiddy said some rude things at the Hot 97 studio and things got, well, hot.
P.S. Who was the sax on the Stones track?

Absolutely. Especially when you hear all the UK hits that didn't really make it over here. Just fab.

It really was, even though it had only been three years since Some Girls, their previous major comeback record. But Emotional Rescue was so lousy they needed a record like Tattoo You to rally the fans. And it did so quite handily: Neighbors, Little T&A, Black Limousine, Slave, and Hang Fire, all rocked my world that year.

Fitty said rude things? NO!
Speaking of rude, BOS Ms Midler -- showing Chris Rock how it's really done.
-
BOS to what Dave should have segued into, the most effectively manipulative song of all time, "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)." They just don't write 'em like that anymore, indeed.
-
VHM to Greg Kihn, he really did know how to craft a guitar hook or two back in the day.
But I still can't get over the fact that a couple of July 4ths ago, when KUFX did their Top 500 of All Time Countdown, this song allegedly was voted #7 (!)

Dave channels POC's Foreigner spirit. VHM to Junior Walker on the second guest sax spot of the day!

true, true. i'll have it stuck in my head for the rest of the day (gladly). though i enjoyed the "they don't write 'em like that anymore" song. i can never remember who that is.
here's my foreigner!
potstickers must be cooked with urgency!
-
Well, it ain't "Hot-Blooded", but VHM to Jr Walker's sax on "Urgent".
-

yes, this was the song i was thinking of for a split second when you asked who guested on the stones, toon.
ahh, so it's greg kihn who doesn't write them like that anymore...thanks!

Been listening but working. Fab set so far.
Urgent mondegreen, I remember back in the day listening on a beach at a lake thinking they were singing "virgin, virgin."
-
VHM Police. "I am the Alpha and the Omega Man", says Mr Sumner.

Hey Alicat, who's your new avatar, and what's that she's holding?

ha! do her quick, do a virgin!
-
WOW! Police "Omegaman". Gomer of the day (fer sure, fer sure, fer sure)
-
I would like to nominate the "It's a Living" theme as The Gayest Thing Ever Written.
-
Hey Alicat, who's your new avatar, and what's that she's holding?
I was just gonna query the same thing.

'70s Soul singer Shirley Brown made a comeback of sorts with a quickie disco cover of "Urgent".

ha. quickie. i think there's a polka version, too.

nice "mommie dearest" trailer!
-
Between the Bette Oscars clip, the "It's a Living" theme, and "Mommie Dearest," it's a trifecta of fabulous festivity!
-
Where's Beej?
Another VHM to BOC "Burnin' For You"
...time to play Beej sides
-

Obviously Sunday nite's show wasn't gay enuf for Dave. Maybe he's protesting the censorship of Robin Williams' routine by ABC.
-
Not my favorite Santana song either. WOS to "Winning."
-
Yeah, Beej shoulda been here for this one.
Urth: Safe travels, bud! Looking fwd to meeting you this week!
-
Hey Alicat, who's your new avatar, and what's that she's holding?
She was the main character in a show called Witchblade, http://www.tvtome.com/Witchblade/
Very cool. The arm thing had powers.

Urth: Safe travels, bud! Looking fwd to meeting you this week!
Thanks! How's the weather back there?
Hey, finally heard from my friends & we're doing the theatre on Friday. So how are you with dinner on Saturday or Sunday?
We're in around 5 tomorrow eve weather permitting, call me after then.
Btw, gang--I'm on vacay for the week starting tomorrow. Goin' to NYC, gonna hang with Gaz. Back next Wed.
-

Geoff your subject line refers to Dire Straits... I'm confused.
I'm also NOT sticking around for Annalisa's song-and-a-T-Shirt thingy. KFOG must be trying to boost TSL (Time Spent Listening), they've got Dave (and presumably everyone else) saying things like "just 3 minutes to [insert song title]". But 3 minutes is an eternity if you're listening to bad commercials...
-
nice "mommie dearest" trailer!
I just checked IMDb (cuz you never know), and sure enough Mara Hobel, the little girl who played the young Christina Crawford, has continued to make movies. Last year she was even in Kinsey. She is credited as 'Female Student #2'.
re: Ali's avatar - I almost became a Witchblade fan, saw the first 3-4 eps anyway. The gal's name is Yancy Butler. She made a decent action movie with Wesley Snipes that involved a lot of parachuting, called Drop Zone.

This is my version of snarkiness, and it takes a lot of cranky for pants this big! I don't know (or care) who wrote Winning, you guys infer Russ Ballard? What I do think is that it's just a shameless Mark Knopfler ripoff as far as guitar tone, just like Rod Stewart's "Young Hearts" (or Turks, or Love, or something) Although, I get so tired of Carlos' modern tone (Modern means everything except "Winning") that sometimes I like hearing it, just for variety! Did you hear him on the Oscars? Same solo, different song.
-

Have fun -- NYC looks lovely after it snows. Seriously.
Don't know where you're staying but I recommend breakfast at either Elephant & Castle (Greenwich Ave near 12th) or NoHo Star (Bleecker & Lafayette) and of course a hot dog (or 3, they're cheap) at Gray's Papaya or Papaya King (all over town). And if you do dinner with Gaz in his 'hood, make sure you go to Rocco's for dessert. Gaz can direct you to the great used record stores of NY, I'm sure.

You're absolutely right, of course (about the Knopfleresque sound and about Carlos on the Oscars). The Russ Ballard orig of "Winning" predates Dire Straits, BTW.

ok. i know i watched the oscars. and i remember his leather pants. but i can't remember what he was playing or with whom.
sad, really...

The weather is dismal. Whatever you've heard, it's that bad, though the city crews and locals have done a good job clearing the roads and sidewalks. Hope you've got some kinda boots, still. Dinner is better for me Saturday than Sunday; Mike noted a few good places in my neighborhood but I'm open to ideas. See ya soon!

he played while Antonio Banderas sang. This is not a typo.

oh, right. no surprise i blocked it out. i was wondering why they let those two hoodlums (banderas and griffith) inside.

Melanie Griffith looks weirder every time I see her. Sunday it looked like she had two slugs crawling across her face, and her eyebrows never moved once.

i think they're involved in some strange sex cult. sort of like the grandparents in the da vinci code, with a little heroin mixed in.

And her skin was 'more orange than an orange'! Although flipping through the IMDb pix looking for a Jenny Lumet sighting, I came across more than a couple of Dona Versace looking far weirder than Melanie G.

I just hope we get there while the snow is still white, and not turned to grey and black.
Thanks for the breakfast tips--last time I was there breakfast was the toughest meal to find something good if you didn't know where to go, and wanted something more than just a bagel (MMMmmmm--H&H!). We're staying in the Union Square area--17th & 2nd, so NoHo Star is not too far away.
