predictions anyone?

Predict that I'm pleased with 74! Stevie!
-
predictions anyone?
"Life is a Rock" or "The Streak" or (ooogah-chugga) Blue Swede.
-
Not a big stretch, but betting we hear something off the GD's From the Mars Hotel, in keeping with Mr. Garcia's passing. Scarlet Begonias anyone? (More likely Ship of Fools, actually...)
"I'd like to see you in the raw...under the stars above..." Anyone else think that's a particularly ironic line?

please no blue swede. why doesn't anyone play the b.j. thomas version anymore? why doesn't anyone play b.j. thomas?
while driving across country last week, i realised i have memorised the harmonica solos for "boogie on, reggae woman" and "isn't she lovely." quite a fun way to numb the lips. though i can think of others...
-
I predict Jim Stafford, D'Oh!....too late he's already playing it!

least necessary of set: "Spiders & Snakes"

Billy Preston, Ringo, Blue Swede

HM Jim Stafford. He was in some 70s movie they were making fun of on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Hi-larious.
-
least necessary of set: "Spiders & Snakes"
If he's gotta play Jim Stafford, why not "My Girl Bill"? Just for the debate it would spark on this board if nothing else. :wink:
-
hm to supertramp's bad ass bass line.
-
Anyone remember B.J. Thomas' variety show? There was a segment where he'd improv a song based on audience suggestions. Pretty cool.
I wonder if his friends called him 'Beej', too.

an underrated guy, certainly. But man does not live by novelty records alone, and he faded. I think he's doing well in Branson, MO.

I wanna hear B.T Express "Do It Till Your Satisfied"
I wonder if his friends called him 'Beet'?
:D

Personally I found that song quite clever.

unless he plays something from Mars Hotel

Mars Hotel was so 1974, I miss it!

Me too--but I figured the song's ambiguity would be a good source of chatter here. Although he does kind of resolve any uncertainty as to who the song is directed at in the last verse.
BOS1, Slow Dancer.

BOS BOZ, just a f***ing gorgeous song. Amazing that somebody else didn't score with a cover version of this, a la Rita Coolidge with "We're All Alone".
-

uh-oh! Don't tell Weird Al Yankovich.

LOL!
As for "Radar Love"- I prefer the Homer Simpson version.
-
just watched a little last night the new live Boz DVD last night, and it includes this lovely song. I recommend it:

Missed it, thanks to my cow orker demanding my attention for 5 minutes.
I wonder how many people who know all the words to "Radar Love" have ever even heard Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong". Have any of y'all? (not that I have any doubt about Mike's answer).

When was this on? I got stoned and I missed it, as it were. Amazed that Beej was able to pull that off: He's acknowledged that he spent much of the '70s heavily coked up and literally does not remember the recording of "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song." (Which I've been jonesing to hear for a very long time as well.)

I imagine it could be done, but the original is just so...perfect! Maybe it has been done.

I have it on one of my recording-various-stuff-from-Barry-Scott mix tapes. Solid song, but weird to think they were grooving to this down the highway. Doesn't strike me as the most memorable single, and I'm surprised it made it all the way to #11.
"Paaaa-yyyy-iiin / Come on in ..."

Random Trivia: Does any of you know, without looking, the name of the Cream of Wheat box guy?

I'm not saying it woulda been a GOOD cover, but lots of folks around back then could've given it a shot. I was thinking Tony Orlando, actually.
BOS2: Rev Green. "Sha-la-la" indeed!
-
BOS3 Young FRAHNK-en-steen!
"in black and white -- no offense!"

Splitting my BOS between Al Green and Madeline Kahn. "Sweet mystery of life, at last I've found you ..."

His show was on in the early to mid 70s. He may have been coked up- but as a young lad I wasn't attuned to such things yet.
Honorable Flashback: Young Frankenstein. I remember my parents coming home from seeing this at the movie theater. They were still laughing.
-
VVVHM to the Young Frankenstein ad. Great flick, but that goes without saying.
BOS2 to Joni, giving in to her jazzier side.

Allmusic says Rita did a version. Looks like someone besides Boz wrote it anyway.

Guess what, Rita Coolidge DID cover it, on her 1978 release Love Me Again.

KEE-RAP, was that Cheech and Chong in the background on the Joni tune? I've never noticed that before.
VHM TSOP MFSB.
-
If you're gonna play "Twisted" -- which is always a nice idea -- you really have to play it in conjunction with "Trouble Child," and you really have to make it Tune Number Ten.
I'm just sayin'.

JINX!
the other composer credit goes to George Daly. Know nothing about him.

in a blatant attempt to recapture the magic, no doubt.
BOS4 Joni -- the chick is twisted!
this is Set O' The Week material.
-
so, this is song 8, right? I want to wait until I hear if song 9 or 10 is from Mars Hotel before casting my official BOS for Boz.

With some nice frosting on the cupcakes from the Three Degrees.
P.S. Yup, that was C&C, on Joni's last recorded evidence of a sense of humor (I'm still not sure about her cover of "You're So Square (Baby I Don't Care)")

er, i believe that was a couple of old jazz guys -- perhaps Lambert, Hendrix & Ross, who did the tune originally (assuming they were still alive in '74).

One more chance: I think the Chicago tune (Call on Me?) is #9.

Sambo? Mr. Steppinfetchit? Darky?
In Taiwan until the late 80's there was a brand of toothpaste that showed a very similar image except it was a tophat, not a chef's hat on the head. It was called Darkie. Later someone must have pointed out that this was politically incorrect, so they just changed the 'K' to an 'L' & presto, Darlie, which won't offend anyone right? But when I got there in '92 you could still find the original Darkie stuff at flea markets.

Rasmus?
first name, e.?
-
What Might Have Been Award to David Essex, who made some great pop singles after "Rock On" that didn't make it in the US.
-
Dick Cheney?
Heh.
you're a madman!
-
I think they should make the Gorton's Fisherman an African American. It's about time for a change, I think.
Or the Pepperidge Farm Guy. They could make him African American. But, he still has to talk with the accent.
-
Dick Cheney?
Heh.
Very nice, Beej. And fast too! :lol: :lol:
-
Thanks. It's not my best work- but as you say- fast!

WOS to "Rock On" because of Dave's missed opportunity for a JG trib.
Well, there's always the bonus track, but it ain't the same.

Followed by Rip Taylor's ode to himself- "The Real Rip Taylor"
I have an mp3, of course. Not with me- but I can zap it to anyone who wants it. Pretty damn funny.
