The Drive, 05/22/06: It's 1970

[RGMike]

actually, Bob, "Hi-De-Ho" was the 2nd single from BS&T3, after "Lucy You Just So Damn BAD McEvil"

[princessofcairo]

i never knew that was the edwin hawkins singers with melanie. i'd love to hear the long version, too. the only version i've ever heard is the one on the freedom rock cassette. remember those lovely commercials? i always confused them with randy from the redwoods.

great bs&t version. i *wish* dave would play their "sympathy" in a covers-from-hellset. and "make me smile" is my favorite chicago song.

"Dude, is that Freedom Rock? Well crank it UP, Man!!!"

Ah, to be reduced to a cultural stereotype...

Do you remember the Motown compliation that was advertised around the same time? The father comes in and tells the kids to turn off the music and go to bed, and the kids scream "But Daaad -- it's SMOKEY!"

no, i don't remember that. and it seems a highly unlikely scenario.

It was hilarious, my NY friends and I STILL quote it nearly every time we hear a Smokey Robinson song!
