pre-set entertainment: EJ,. "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". ("or the daughter either" as one NYC deejay used to like to say.)

when this instrumental started, i thought it was otis redding's "can't turn me loose." but that would be all wrong for this year...
-
Woo Hoo! BT & the MGs. Gaz, think of it as an extended vamp to get things warmed up. And I repeat: I'm reading the STAX story, Soulsville USA, and enjoying it immensely.

Hi y'all, back for a day. Glad we're getting something like '69 now since it will be another classic later.
BOS #1 Stones, one of their best songs ever (imho).

it is a similar riff... conceived in the same studio, no?
BOS Stones; VHM Ms Clayton's searing backing vox.

Track 2, right after the eponymous title track. You heard this at my house off of the vinyl.
Astonishingly no singles chart action from this album in the Hot 100.
ETA: Useless trivia - David LaFlamme was the former violin soloist with the Utah Symphony and an original member of Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks.

BOS 2 Kinks, "Victoria". Mr Davies certainly had a thing for queens :wink:

I think you got that sideways, wasn't it "black gold, texas tea..."?
Maybe Gaz will like this better if the knows about the Granny reference?
-
"the boxer" gives me hives. maybe it's the squeezebox.

BOS #4 - "The Boxer"
-

er, that's "black gold... Texas tea". I'd never heard that story before.
V-V-VHM S&G. "just the come-ons from the whores on 7th Avenue..." Earlier Irish Greg said the 49ers were staying in the same hotel as the KFOG crew last nite and there were "a lot of pros working the bar". LOL!

Now I could waylay
Some aging roue
And persuade him to play
In some cranny
But it's hard to believe
I'm being led astray
By a man who calls me granny

BOS #5 (& a proxy for Rod) the Mighty Zep.

was that mr. nimoy for mustang? "mr. neeemoy?"
-
BOS however-many-it-is, Neon Philharmonic, another Gaz WOS (unfathomably, may I add).
"read your box of Cheerios" -- Neon Philharmonic
"mornin' little Cheerio" -- Al Jarreau
can we get a 3rd Cheerios reference for a My 3 Songs?
BOS one more time, Beach Boys, one of their loveliest covers.
-
"read your box of Cheerios" -- Neon Philharmonic

dolly: "football games and cheerios"
bos: tull!
-
Oh hell -- 10 way tie!
The Tullsters jazzin' out on "Bouree" (or however it's spelled). Is this song #10? If so we've begun & ended with instrumentals.

BOS #7, "Bouree", a jazz arrangement of a Bach tune played by a prog rock outfit.

Think Bob was lurking? He mentioned at least 3 things in the rundown that we already posted about.
-
Well that was fab-yoo-luss.
Now fingers crossed for a '60s "classic" from Dave. He OWES us.

He's not allowed to lurk :wink: Great minds...

BOS however-many-it-is, Neon Philharmonic, another Gaz WOS (unfathomably, may I add).
If "Morning Girl" had been an instrumental, I'd BOS it in a heartbeat. But the lyric creeps me out -- not so much for the deflowering, but for the way he says, the morning after, "here's some breakfast, now get the fuck out my house." That he so casually informs this blushing young thing that her first experience was a one-night stand is sufficiently distasteful to me that I can't enjoy the song as a whole.
But it giggles me to know that the auteur behind that (a) is named Tupper Saucey, or something silly like that; and (b) later went underground as a tax fugitive, never to resurface.

I think that's ONE interpretation.
Mornin' girl, how'd ya sleep last night
You're several ages older now
Your eyes have started showin' how
The little girls growin' now
Mornin' girl, was that you last night
Crying on the radio
Beggin' for a way to go
To go back where love wasn't jumbled so
Oh, no, things are different now than they were before
You know love is more than kisses
A whole lot more
Mornin' girl, put your dreams away
And read your box of Cheerios
And powder-puff that pretty nose
And go out and find your man where the wild wind blows
Mornin' girl
I always saw an omniscient narrator, not necessarily the guy who actually spent the night with (and deflowered?) her. He's saying, "OK, you've experienced physical love -- now go out and build on that by finding someone who will truly love you". Or as Gary Puckett sang later that year, "this girl is a woman now..."

FWIW, I don't see how the 2nd verse allows this to be a deflowering reference at all. If she was crying on the radio last night begging to go back, I have to assume it was back to a time before she got into an abusive relationship. I agree with Mike that the POV is from an omniscient advice giver.

The fact that there are at least three people here who have well considered opinions on the meaning of Neon Philharmonic's "Morning Girl" thrills me to no end.
