31 Jan 2014: it's... Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Speaking of Percy, I was doing some research about 1971 music last nite and came across Percy, a British sex comedy from that year -- it's about the first penis transplant. And the Kinks did the soundtrack!

I'd like to hear the Spike Jones horse race "song" about Beetlebaum. Don't know what it's called.

I think it's just called Beetlebaum.

Elvis gets my BOS even tho I didn't hear the set.

Would have like to hear the Byrds' Chestnut Mare, or maybe Michael Murphy's Wildfire. Always thought that the latter cribbed a bit of subject matter from the former.

or maybe Michael Murphy's Wildfire

ACK!  WOS!  ACK!

Never cared for it, myself.

U2 ride your wild horses.

BOS for me so far

there are folks in g'snipes saying they've never heard this song before. But it seems to come up in regular KFOG rotation fairly often.

I find it hard to believe, I would expect you to LN it.  For me, it's just a particularly potent message song, even though I've heard it a million times.

It's been on 10@10 exactly once each year from 2010 through 2014.

WOS Aerosmith.

I cringe every time I hear Tyler's voice.  I didn't have that problem when I was younger, and this was one of their better tracks, but as I grew older my ears just can't handle it.

I don't think Tyler's voice is usually so bad, and I think this is one of their worse tracks.  It's like
they deliberately mixed the vocal to be grating.

Would have like to hear the Byrds' Chestnut Mare

That would have be a big BOS from me in any possible horse-themed set.

Other obvious possibilities include Tower of Power's Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of the
Stream) and George Harrison's Dark Horse.  And how about something from Neil Young
and Crazy Horse (their early years, of course).

I have not thought very highly of the theme sets of late, and today's was no exception.  As with
the others, there were too few high spots, and little overall cohesion -- a muddled musical mass.
