Dave just dropped today's year--yippeee! It's long overdue!
(Btw, does anyone else besides me kind of long for the days when the year of the daily set was a big secret until the Big Wheel was spun?)

when they first started running promos for the next day's year I was very annoyed -- it took the surprise away. But I've gotten used to it and if it's a year I know will be crappy then I don't feel bad about missing it. I long for the days when the most recent year was 1985 :D
If Dave's doing '71 today, then maybe tomorrow will be Tax Day after all.
-
1971 is cool.
ETA: YES! 300! 300 is cool.
-
Decent start with Blue Money. I remember thinking that Van copped the horn part on this song from the Sesame Street theme.
-
Blue Money is cool. But not as cool as green money.
'71 always makes me hope Dave'll pull out the legendary "Desiderata"/"Deteriorata" megamix.
-
Nice segue: Nixon and his cronies pledging to scale down involvment in Vietnam, followed by Long Distance Runaround.
-
"Albert Flasher" -- WTF is this song about anyway? All I know is, he was a workshop owner.
-

Beej, keep that avatar for awhile.

Very nice obscurity level for "Albert Flasher". I remember my parents had a single of this song when it came out, along with "When You're Hot You're Hot". My brother managed to break both of them. Hell was paid.

breaking a Jerry Reed record is just wrong wrong wrong. Good thing the princess isn't here to read about that.

Got me. But for a minute, Burton Cummings had the title of Most Obscure Lyrics of Set. Then the Yes song started.
"Hot color! Melting the anger to stone..."

Thanks! Yeah, I like it. Beavis is kind of a role model for me.
I made this- but the file size was too big. I'm going to try making a version of just Beavis thrashing.

BOS Love American Style!!!!!!!!!
That's me and you hooo hooo
-
proxy VHM for Gaz-- the Cowsills' LAS theme.
"I will defend your right to try"... huh? try what?
-
Easy Trivia: What TV show was spun-off from a Love, American Style episode?
-
Early BOS: Reason to Believe. One of Tim Hardin's finest compositions.
Oh Rod, what's become of ye?
-
VHM for The James Gang. I love that crunchy Walsh geetar.
-
James Gang gets an early BOS from me!

The Love Boat, no?

Singing standards is less taxing and quite lucrative. But hey, his pre-Songbook catalogue is always there, like an old friend. I'd've liked to have heard the Carpenters' version of RTB today.

The Love Boat, no?
nope -- Happy Days.
-
OMG Ides of March (?) "Superman"! Too bad the princess is missing this one.
take ahold of my super, uh, hand.

No way. Really? I remember LAS being appointment TV for my family & I thought all the eps were contemporary.

I don't doubt this, but how does a series set in the 70's spin off a series set in the 50's?
Damn, Mark! Only one of us really needs to post today :lol: Maybe I should try to get some work done.

I thought Chase at first, but I think you're right. Sounds very much like the same voice that sang Vehicle.
-
RGMike is correct. It was indeed Happy Days (and the name of the ep was "Love and the Happy Days".
I don't doubt this, but how does a series set in the 70's spin off a series set in the 50's?
By making it a flashback.
VHM for use of the phrase "Great Cesear's Ghost" in a rock song. Especially in a song about Superman (since that's what his boss would blurt when he was pissed).
-
BOS#2, "Madman Across The Water", my favorite Elton song.

LAS was vignettes of varying lengths; most were indeed contempo but the "pilot" for HD was something like "Love and the Fifties" -- Beej will know for sure -- and people liked it, they really liked it. And the rest, as they say...
-

"Love and the Happy Days" if I'm not mistaken.
Goodbye grey sky/Hello, blue!

BOS '70s Supes, "Nathan Jones". A fab record. There WAS life after Diana.
-
BOS2-Nathan Jones. Take that, Miss Ross!
What mistake...there was no mistake.... :wink:

I am looking forward to the Wonka remake. Seriously.
Meanwhile Dave's cornering the market on clips from overrated films this week :wink:
-
BOS It Don't Come Easy
-
The Wonka remake might be OK. Although Johnny Depp looks like the love child of Michael York & Terry Gilliam in his Wonka outfit...
-
BOS It Don't Come Easy
and an endless source of mondegreens:
"love of mine" or "rubber vine"?
"only want trust" or "only want crust"
you be the judge...
-
Starting to sound like a LSJUMB originals set!
And these children that you spit on, as they try to change their world...
-

You say that like it's a bad thing :lol:

Hey, Chris! Good call -- Changes is LSJUMB all over, but I'd already forgotten about "It Don't Come Easy", or "Men Come So Greasy", as the tenor part said.
-

I saw the trailer, and it was quite a bit more edgy than I expected. Not that a Tim & Johnny colab wouldn't be edgy, but I thought for sure they'd try to tone it down for the kids.
btw, I have an mp3 of the Oompa Loompa songs if anyone wants it.
-
K-K-K-treen-ges!
Last nite VH1 Classic was showing an hour of old Bowie vids -- "Heroes", "Boys Keep Swinging" etc. I was transfixed.
-

[Veruca] I want an Oompa-Loompa mp3 NOW! [/Veruca]
please.
-

Is appreciably different that the original version? I would hope they'd come up with new songs.

No, what I have is from the original, but if you recall there were 4 verses, each about 45 seconds long, that were sung when each of the 4 bad kids were dispatched. This mp3 is just those 4 verses spliced together.
Beej, yours is on the way.
-
So, just for kicks I went looking for the Oompa-Loompa mp3 myself and found it on this page...
http://www.fozzy42.com/SoundClips.html
... which has a bazillion free mp3s of various TV show & movie themes.
Go. Before the fool gets shut down!
ETA: OK. OK. Not a bazillion. And some of them are wavs. But, there's a lot!
-
there are no coincidences: "Nathan Jones" again on CG. (right after they played Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes", I might add! Yikes!)
-
(right after they played Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes", I might add! Yikes!)
And speaking of Eric Carmen, I wonder what became of that Raspberries reunion that was percolating last year? I had hopes it would go well and they'd be on the club circuit this year, but no word so far.

Having just been looking at that soundclips site that Beej found, I couldn't help but read that as 'Eric Cartman'.

I'd LOVE to hear Cartman do "Hungry Eyes". or "The Girl With the Hungry Eyes". Or just about anything, actually.

i hope that's a joke. :)
oh, two things i wanted to mention: during my one week in europe, i twice heard a song i never hear outside of my bedroom: chris deburgh's "spanish train." and the only time a band had a song on the charts and both the band name and the song name were palindromes? abba, "s.o.s." that's courtesy of klm rock radio...

I'm all for it. I've noticed other discussion sites that use the same app we do, but have much larger (in terms of pixel-size, which I assume equates to file size) avatars. I'm all for it. Since we have only 13 members, it can't amount to a whole lot of storage space.

I'd like to keep the pixel size down, if that's ok, some of the other message boards are too avatarish for me. OK?

Whatever you say. While I can manipulate the dimensions easily enough (80 pixels by 80 pixels) I haven't quite mastered the "density" if you will of the various layers of an animated gif. So, while that B & B gif I made fits the dimensions- it's still too big.
The problem, though, if you make an animated gif less dense (as in- not as many frames), the animation becomes so jerky as to induce epilepsy.
As Run DMC so once sagely said: "It's tricky".

Fine by me. Guess I better start practicing my photoshop skillz!

OK, file size limit raised to 80K, if you can't do a cool animated gif in 80K, go back to Photoshop school! Actually, you want to use ImageReady, which comes with a Photoshop install.

I know Mshray asked me to keep my avatar- but I wanted to see how this looked. I may try to make another one that's just Beavis rockin'....

And worry not, I've still got homer on ice here at home, but I just wanted to see something different by my logon for awhile. I'll bring him back eventually.
Another question for Geoff re: avatars. Is there some reason not to allow bitmap files as avatars? Right now it seems like everything I steal for avatar usage is a bmp, so I have to convert it to a gif or jpg to use it here.

There's no config in the back office that explicity says 'no bmp files,' but generally speaking, the only universal file types on the web are .jpg and .gif, with .png coming on strong. BMP files are also notoriously huge in relation to the actual size of the image. There must be tons of free programs that convert these things on the Windows side of the pond.

Did Veruca Salt say "twat"? :D
I thought of this post during the marathon today...I believe she says "twerps".
This was the 2nd week in a row that they played the sets in order of how they appeared during the week. A new trend?
