Title: 17 June 2010: it's... 1978
Post by: RGMike on June 16, 2010, 01:45:18 PM
Haven't been to FB to hunt for clues, but if I were a betting man my money'd be on either '75 or '78.

ETA: yup, '78 it is.  The usual overplayed suggestions ("Baker Street", Bob Seger, The Cars) from Fogheads; but one woman asked for Barry Manilow which I wholeheartedly seconded.  (and that was before I discovered tomorrow is Mr Manilow's birthday)

Guilty on the Baker Street request, but in all honesty I never get tired of it. Sort of my personal Katrina.

Wouldn't mind hearing Manilow's "Copacabana" though.

I'll make my way to FB and try to tune in tomorrow. For Rafferty I prefer Home & Dry but never tire of Baker St..  Too many choices for 78.
How about Steve Martin and the Toot Uncommons?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgTPH5y1-ZI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgTPH5y1-ZI)

Re: Howard Cosell - Ah, Battle Of The Network Stars.  I can't recall if I actually saw any of these when they first aired (I was 8, mind you), but the concept boggles the mind.  David Letterman in a relay race?  What?

Ah yes, Baker Street.  Absolutely one of my Katrinas as well.  It's indelibly linked to going ice skating at Southland ice rink in Hayward.  My grandma would take me and I'd just do endless laps.  When I heard those saxophones, I would kick it into overdrive.  Ahhh.

Speaking of Disco...

Driving back to SJ from my folks' in Alameda Sunday night, we were listening to "Sunday Night Oldies w/ Tony Sandoval" on KISS-FM 98.1.  After listening to a fair amount of hits from the 70s, my six-year old states "My drum kit doesn't have a hi-hat."

(He's got a starter drum kit w/ a tom-tom, snare, and cymbal.)

Sharp one, that kid.  He learned about hi-hats from Sesame Street, when Murray and his Ovejita went to drum school, of course.

We then proceeded to point out the hi-hat in every single song until we got home.

I guess there's not going to be any funky or non-funky Tut. Watching the clip brings the chuckles.   MTM flashback.
pre-78 but
"Chuckles the Clown brought pleasure to millions. The characters he created will be remembered by children and adults alike: Peter Peanut, Mr. Fee-Fi-Fo, Billy Banana, and my particular favorite, Aunt Yoo Hoo. And not just for the laughter they provided—there was always some deeper meaning to whatever Chuckles did. Do you remember Mr. Fee-Fi-Fo's little catch phrase? Remember how, when his arch rival Señor Kaboom hit him with a giant cucumber and knocked him down, Mr. Fee-Fi-Fo would always pick himself up, dust himself off, and say, 'I hurt my foo-foo'? Life's a lot like that. From time to time we all fall down and hurt our foo-foos. If only we could deal with it as simply and bravely and honestly as Mr. Fee-Fi-Fo. And what did Chuckles ask in return? Not much. In his own words, 'A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants.'"

That's kind of awesome.  A reverse Barenaked Ladies Kraft Dinner thing.

Two things about KISS:  1) Why did Glee have to use "Shout Out It Out Loud" intead of one of their real hits?  Odd -- I hardly know that song at all (although it is now stuck in my head).  But not Rock and Roll All Nite?  My guess is that Simmons et al wanted too much money for the rights.

2) as an elementary schoolkid raised in a somewhat conservative Christian household, I thought KISS (Kings In Satan's Service) would always be *much* heavier metal, a la Judas Priest.  Something of a disappointment/relief/joke to later find out how pop they were.  Image is everything, I guess.

No, it didn't really entice me.  But like I said, I was somewhat sheltered growing up.  No older siblings buying records or anything like that.  On the other hand it wasn't like our church was going around burning records.  But I wasn't buying much music at the time.

But I do remember seeing KISS graffiti on lunch tables, which made them pretty bad-ass, in my mind.  Obviously more bad-ass than they deserved.

Oh man, I heard that ringtone and was afraid she was going to somehow segue into Pink Floyd.

LOL!  I had *precisely* the same reaction.  (I was cleaning instead of posting while the set was playing.)

BOS2 to Darryl's son.

And OMFGWTFF is Barry smoking doobage there?!?

OMG, Telly Savalas protesting something or another with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Watching this show is amazingly surreal.

I find the KISS records reference funny in this song.

the band has humor, for sure.   In concert, Rick Nielsen usually chucks out a faux Kiss album at that point int the song.



He used to toss real ones. Wha' happen? There should still be an endless supply in garage sales and thrift stores around the country.

Interview w Rick Nielsen

Q: Do you still throw out KISS records during 'Surrender'?  Is it easy to find vinyl copies of KISS records these days? Before long you'll only be able to throw out memory sticks?

A: Yeah, we're the only reason KISS got back together for the 35th anniversary tour.
 
Q: Do you get a discount from Gene for all the KISS covers or do you have to pay him royalties for using the KISS brand?!

A: Yeah, Gene charges us double - nah Gene's a good guy but his sleeves are hard to come by these days, so we use some Cheap Trick flats as well......but if we can find a good KISS record we'll definitely toss that into the audience.
