'60s twice in one week?? OMFG.

BOS No Time
-
moon landing --> "Space Cowboy". Too cute by half, AL.
-
self reflexology rock at work:
"I told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A." (love that song)
"...Don't you know that I'm a gangster of love" (foreshadows The Joker)
Another BOS Space Cowboy!
-
VHM Space Cowboy, first bustout of the day, and the first time Steve Miller's been played in '69, too.
-
Casey K did a bit on "Questions 67 & 68" this weekend: Robert Lamm was dating a girl in 1967 and 1968 and apparently was questioning their relationship. Makes sense to me.

I am utterly gobsmacked to hear that it's a bustout.

"Gangster of Love" is a Johnny "Guitar" Watson song that appeared on his Sailor album (along with Livin' In the USA) a year before this.

I recall that Casey story. Lamm should have kept counting. One more number and many things would have been explained clear as day! ;)

Lawd Have Mercy! uber-BOS the BoxTops, "Soul Deep"!
-
BOS for the Boxtops, sounding an awful lot like Neil Diamond.
-
VHM Space Cowboy, first bustout of the day, and the first time Steve Miller's been played in '69, too.
each of those facts are hard to believe...but for all that he did several SF-centric theme sets, Dave was far more likely to feature his Detroit homeboys than his adopted SF homeboys. Annalisa seems to delight in the SF stuff, from every decade.
-
Holy crap, the Dead Parrot Sketch! Bravo, AL.
-
TOTALLY AWESOME FAKEOUT!!!
"And Now For Something Completely Different" actually leads into a Python sketch.
BOS for joining the Choir Invisible!
-
BOS2 the Pythons -- I finally caught up with part 1 of the IFC docu, which I didn't realize until yesterday is available OnDemand. Great stuff, can't wait to watch the rest of it.
BOS3 Rod (with Jeff Beck?)
-
Now *this* is what I call a bustout. BOS Jeff Beck, w/ the redoubtable Rod on vocals, All Shook Up, off Beck-Ola.
-

Totally mod version of "All Shook Up". I didn't even recognize it for quite a while. Gotta be a bustout.
-

and amazingly like the GrassRoots' "Heaven Knows", which was a hit around the same time. Play 'em back-to-back some time.

Or vice versa.

BWAHAHA!

BOS4 (and proxy of GazWOS) "Marrakesh Express". I have fond memories of listening to WKBW Buffalo in the middle of the night on my little transistor, and hearing this song -- which neither of NYC's Top 40 stations were playing.
-
Now we've *def* heard this Butch Cassidy clip before--and not that long ago, iirc.
-

Per AMG:
When it was originally released in June 1969, Beck-Ola, the Jeff Beck Group's second album, featured a famous sleeve note on its back cover: "Today, with all the hard competition in the music business, it's almost impossible to come up with anything totally original. So we haven't. However, this disc was made with the accent on heavy music. So sit back and listen and try and decide if you can find a small place in your heads for it."
and "All Shook Up" wasn't the only Elvis cover, it also includes "Jailhouse Rock".
Big BOS just for not being "Plynth".

"Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!"

-
BOS5 the Meters, "Cissy Strut"
Sashay! Chantay! (oops, different kind of sissy strut).
-
Oooooooohhhhh yah! BOS for those funky Meters.
I'm quite sure Ginger played the Meters more than once, albeit perhaps not in '69, but according to the Db Dave never did at all.
-
BOS whatever Santana "Jingo".
Love the ultra-percussive intro, always will.
-
can't really complain about an overplayed Santana track given the overall fabulousness of this set.

That is kinda surprising--you'd think he'd at least have included them in a Soul Patrol a time or two.

"Buffalo Soldier" "Banana Splits Theme"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7571952.stm
-
WTF is this Banana Splits theme--this ain't the original version.
-
Holy Toledo! Who is doing this Up Yours People version of the Banana Splits Theme?
-
who the F*** is this!?
I lurves it immensely!
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
tra la la tra la la la
one banana two banana three banana four
all bananas make a split so do many more
over hill and highway the banana buggies go
come along to bring you the banana splits show
four banana three banana two banana one
all bananas playing in the bright warm sun
flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
fleagle bingo drooper and snork
making up a mess of fun
making up a mess of fun
making up a mess of fun
lots of fun for everyone
four banana three banana two banana one
all bananas playing in the bright warm sun
flipping like a pancake popping like a cork
fleagle bingo drooper and snork

tra la la tra la la la
this sounds like a re-mix...
-
Holy Toledo! Who is doing this Up Yours People version of the Banana Splits Theme?
Glad it wasn't just me--and you're dead on with the UWP ref.
The production on this almost sounds too new for '69. Did they try to reboot that show in the 90s?
-
who the F*** is this!?
clearly you've forgotten their landmark '69 LP BS Comes Alive
The Dickies did a cover of the BS theme -- but I'm guessing thiers was more "punk"

I agree with that assessment. She said it was the Banana Splits...maybe there was a studio group put together to be them? It certainly wasn't Paul Winchell singing -- voice of Fleagle, I do believe.

I agree, it sounded too new for 69. AL has some explaining (and some giggling) to do!

Here's the BS from Wikipedia:
The Banana Splits' bubblegum pop rock and roll was provided by studio professionals, including Joey Levine ("I Enjoy Being a Boy", "It's a Good Day for a Parade"); Al Kooper ("You're the Lovin' End"); Barry White ("Doin' the Banana Split"); Gene Pitney ("Two Ton Tessie") and Jimmy Radcliffe provided his songs ("I'm Gonna Find A Cave", "Soul", "Don't Go Away Go-Go Girl", "Adam Had 'Em" and "The Show Must Go On") but did not contribute vocals to Splits recordings. The music director was music publisher Aaron Schroeder while production duties were mainly handled by David Mook.
In 1968, The Banana Splits released an album titled We're the Banana Splits. The show’s theme song, titled "The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)", released as a single, peaked at number 97 on Billboard's Top 100 in February 1969.[8] The version included on the We're The Banana Splits album is the same recording heard at the beginning of the show, while the single version is an entirely different arrangement and recording of the song, featuring an additional verse. The song was written by Nelson Brock Winkless, Jr., however, owing to contractual arrangements[citation needed], on all record releases (as well as the TV show's closing credits), credit given to Ritchie Adams and Mark Barkan. Winkless is credited as co-writer, along with Hoyt Curtin, of "The Beautiful Calliopa" (also called "My Beautiful Calliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclaribasotrombaphone"), which was featured several times in the television series and also issued on record.

According to AMG, both the Dickies and Liz Phair have covered The Tra-La-La Song, but I don't think that was either of those.
The AMG bio is pretty interesting though:

Annalisa didn't tell us!?
Other than The Dickies (which I have the MP3 of, in case anyone wants it, very cool punkish version), the only thing I could find on Googole was ARTIST: Ritchie Adams and Mark Barkan.

Per a phone call I just got off of with her, Annnalisa confirms that the cut she played was the single version cut from that album. and she confirms that the only artist credited is The Banana Splits.

Did a little deeper digging, and the AMG blurb on the one Banana Splits compilation says there was a "boisterous alternate version" of the The Tra-La-La Song, so I'm betting that's what we heard. "Boisterous" is definitely an apt description.

I think I need to find a copy of that album.
