Is J Geils the original?

More HM for Shuggie Otis, though I still like the Brothers Johnson version a lot better.  I'm not fond of Otis' voice -- it's kind of a Bob Welch thinness to it.  Though I have to admit, the BJ's arrangement is quite the ripoff of this one.


wow, you're dead on again -- he does sound like Mr Welch.

BOS2 Bobby W!  I'm lookin, I'm lookin'...

 For all you etymologists out there, from whence cometh the term Hell On Wheels?
 


Wasn't it the slogan of a WWII infantry battalion? Sorry, can't recall which one, but I'm betting you know.


Of course I know, silly, I don't generally ask rhetorical trivia quesions.

Anyway it dates from the mid 19th century.

Bobby's lookin' for a love, but also looking for someone to do some housework. Hilarious  :lol:

Nope, I think the Womack version is.

ETA: Yep, unless the song that Sam Cooke did by that name is the same one.
Let's get right to it.

Reminds me of the comment in Betting Fool's column on sfgate today, about KNBR's Ralph Barbieri, and how he always calls himself a feminist. Yeah, Ralph, that's why you couldn't find any women in SF to marry you. LOL!

Wet Katrillie, "Keep on Smilin'"

Did the double entendre of their name just go right over the heads of radio programmers?

Dave has really cut back on his ELO fixation.  In the 15 months from Apr '05 thru May '06 he played only 16 ELO tunes total.  In the preceding 11 months he played 26, more than double the frequency.

When the Jazzman's testifying a faithless man believes.

I believe this is my BOS #3 (or is it #4?)

VHM Eagles, "On the Border", one of Mr Henley's earliest stabs at political commentary.
