14 Sept. 2007: could it be...? 1969

[urth]

Easiest bonus quiz ever.

Nice choice with 49 bye byes, but I would have chosen Taj Mahal.

And I'd have taken Build Me Up Buttercup in a heartbeat, but I can hang with CSN.

BOS2 Todd/Nazz  If Todd is God, then Nazz is.. Gaz!

Jeez, we've known him all this time and he's never mentioned it...

BOS1 Open My Eyes.  :shock:

I'm humble like Kanye.

Meantime, I'm thinking (no offense to Nilsson) how much better B.J. Thomas would have sounded singing "I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City."

(PS: Hint to those who wondered: She ain't.)

[Gazoo]

Whoa, Compared to What--but is it the Les McCann/Eddie Harris version? Think so, but not 100% sure...

I haven't read the rest of this thread yet -- I'm actually approximating real-time at 1am, how geeky is that -- so Proxy of Princess if one hasn't already been cast.  Still amazing to me that this hit the Hot 100.  Someone told me it riffs off "Aquarius" in the intro, but I don't hear it.

BOS7 Bubble Puppy -- ruining Gaz's potential 10-way tie (proxy of GazWOS).

Bubblegum Psychedelia is still psychedelia, as far as I'm concerned.

Haha, omg THANK YOU, you know how much I hate the -- they're not even non sequiturs, they're anti- sequiturs -- here.  (BTW: You can throw the Airplane's "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon" at me in response, and I'll agree with you.)  I see why others like it; I just can't dig it myself.

Sock it to me!  BOS of my own to McCann/Harris.

[Gazoo]

Woohoo for Bubble Puppy!  Haven't heard this in a long time.  Pretty tough tune as psychedelia goes.

In time with:

[Gazoo]

BOS, Goldie.  Still cute after all these years.

"Hi, Big Dick here!"

Frightening how heavily this show in 1988 reruns affected my sensibilities.

Set yer alarms, folks: if this one isn't the first set in the Marathon, I'll be stunned.

They aren't played in the order received?

Nope -- the pattern generally is the oldest year gets played at 7am. They think old folks get up early, I guess.  Sometime we get lucky, but more often than not, it's '60s at 7.

And sho'nuff -- We get the 2 best (and oldest) years of the week to lead off.  No desire to hear that '91 "classic" again. No, Dave, it's not gonna be "OK".

And that's what happened today.  '69 followed by Monday's '77, then '91.  So those of you who slept in missed Sassafras, but you'll get ol' King Tut and a Rhythm Stick again.  Click click click!
