WOS: "Glad All Over," as there's rather little DC5 I care for.  At least it wasn't "Because," a song I really should've included in my worst-ever file.

You had to be there, I guess -- they were as big as the Beatles for six months or so in '64. Amazing to say that now, but at the time... HUGE.

whose version of "Devil w/a Blue Dress" is this? I'm diggin' it.

BOS2 (#1 was that version of "Devil/Blue Dress") to the Fab Four, "There's a Place". I love little-heard Beatles from that period.

Does Dylan say "Simplify you" or "Semper Fi you" in the first verse of AIRWTD?  I would've rather heard Cher stumble her way through it anyway.

Bleah - I never cared much for this Stones slurry skiffle.  Not even trying to be cranky.

VHM Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

BOS5 Hollies, "Just One Look", part of one of the most underrated catalogs in rock history. (although this one's a cover)

I can't agree with you there.  Sounds to me like a quickie cash-in, though far better sung and performed than, say, Herman's Hermits' "Wonderful World."

That's more like it: BOS to the Beach Boys' harmonies on "Don't Worry Baby," and a remarkably thoughtful lyric too.

BOS6 BBs, "Don't Worry Baby". Sheer teen-dream nirvana.

And I loved that Frisbee commercial!

BTW, Gaz, Bob Shannon replied to my query on the NYRMB, and VIP is NOT pulling the plug on their stream.

P.S.  Were people at the time shocked -- shocked! -- that the boys said "when she makes love to me" in the lyric?  I've wondered what were the first pop hits to use progressively more graphic sexual language.

Yes.

Which is why there were "clean" and "dirty" versions of the "Under the Boardwalk" ("making love" and "falling in love") and "Help Me Rhonda" ("she was gonna be my lover" got changed to  "...my wife").
