looking at the playlist for Peter Young's always-wonderful Jazz-FM show from this past weekend
http://www.jazzfm.com/playlist/30th-july-2011-6/
And I notice at the end of hour 3 there's Lesley Gore doing a medley of Keith's "98.6" and Spanky & Our Gang's "Lazy day"! WTF?
-
1340 unearths Shakin' Stevens (huge in the UK in the '80s, and unknown here) and his cover of "Green Door".
-
Atlantic2NG plays Cockney Rebel's "Come Up & See me", which makes me smile.
and now Jona Lewie's in the kitchen at a party.
OMGWTFLOL: the Partridge Family, "Point me in the Direction of Albequerque"!
-
More Atlantic2NG: Tavares' superfab "Don't Take Away the Music".
-
Just heard this on The Boardwalk... For all the FYC haters who are (rightfully) sick of "Good Thing" and "She Drives me Cray-zay"... their 1996 UK hit that did nothing here (afaik): "The Flame" (not the Cheap Trick hit).

Nice! ;D

Retro Chart 7/31/71: holee crap, the first song played is Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Soldier Blue". I'm instantly gobsmacked. CCR's Swedish-a Hy-kah is everywhere lately. But I love the way the Brits pronounce "Foggerty".
ooo! the Fascinations' fab "Girls Are Out To Get You" actually made the UK Top 40! A Northern Soul classic.
ooo! again: Dylan's "Watching the River Flow".
Medicine Head (who?) doing "Pictures in the Sky". No matchstickmen involved. Followed by a Slade song that's NTM: "Get Down and Get With It"
a reggae-fied cover of "Pied Piper" is a delightful surprise, by Bob & Marcia Griffiths. -- yes, the same Marcia Griffiths who did "Electric Boogie".
Proxy of Dave Morey: John Kongos, steppin' on again.
Miss Ross' lovely "I'm Still Waiting" did nothing in the US, sadly. But it was a British #1.

I may have to YouTube some of those in a bit. Always, um, intriguing to hear things that charted in the U.K. but not the U.S. in the '70s.
Blue Mink - "The Bana Man"?!

Blue Mink - "The Bana Man"?!
"Banner Man". Here's the chart if you care:
http://www.chartstats.com/chart.php?date=31%2F07%2F1971
coming up: Greyhound's orig (pre-3DN) "Black & White" and the New Seekers covering Delaney & Bonnie.
"Leap Up & Down and Wave Your Knickers in the Air" ?!?
OMFG! BOS the Move, "Tonight"
WTFLOL: Atomic Rooster!
Roosters & Greyhounds & Monkeys -- oh my!
this does NOT sound like the orig "Dog Named Boo" -- crappy re-recording to my ears.
OMFG: early Sweet, "Co-Co", is NTM.
wow, the UK hit on "Chirpy Cheep Cheep" was by Middle of the Road, not Mac & Katie Kissoon.
Unexpected TANC: after playing "What Are You Doing Sunday" by dawn on their '71 chart, 2NG spins "Summer Sand". Yeah, I'm a sucker for that faux-Brill Building thang.

Listening to last week's Little Steven show -- his annual "Dylan goes electric" tribute, including the great Al Kooper/Steven stills cover of "It takes a Lot to Laugh..." proxy of geoff!

WTFLOL: Atomic Rooster!
heh, I might have this track somewhere. I first heard their song called "Death Walks Behind You' on some internet station few years back and sought them out.
They are dark, dirge-y, mysterious and borderline hilarious. :)

wow: Hits of Yesteryear plays the sequel to Neon Philharmonic's "Morning Girl", called "Morning Girl Again". NTM and I'm diggin' it.
and also NTM: the Aesop's Fables (who?) version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me". Nice Philly-ish vocal groupery.
