Title: 15 May 2007--it's a '74-83 VT
Post by: urth on May 15, 2007, 10:01:31 AM
Leading off with...The Streak!

Don't look, Ethel!!

ETA: Why oh why did they feel the need to include a laugh track with this song? I realize it's a novelty, but jeez. Dickie Goodman didn't add a cheezy laugh track to his stuff, did he?

I always wondered if it's a laugh track or if he actually recorded it in front of an audience. Iit sounds awful enuf, sound-wise, that it could've been -- some of his stuff was, I think; "Gitarzan" comes to mind.

Our 75 and 76 entries were OK (Shining Star and Fooled Around and Fell In Love, respectively) but for once, 77 is the first standout year in the set: Marvin's Got To Give It Up. Long version? Probably not.

Ya sure it wasn't "rough cut"? Might be a mondegreen, but it goes with the theme.

I've always heard "rough cut" too, but then I thought Kim Carnes was making crows blush (which would be difficult, what with crows being covered with feathers. And black).

You're right, I suppose that's usually what I thought it was, just heard it differently today.

VHM, I forgot how fun this was.

Oh, yes, they call him the Streak
Look at that, look at that
Fastest thing on two feet
Look at that, look at that
He's just as proud as he can be
Of his anatomy
He goin' give us a peek

I hollered, "Don't look, Ethel!" But it was too
late. She'd already been mooned.

kinda sounds like Jeff Foxworthy

Now you know where Jeff Foxworthy got his act.  Both Ray Stevens and Jim Stafford were Foxworthy fodder, actually.
