decisions, decisions... to stick with Motown Monday or sample '67.

Well OK: '67 sets are short anyway.  Bring me some psychedelia!

Stevie was made to please her -- y'know Stevie ain't gon' leave her.

OMG! "Let it ALL Hang Out"!  BOS!

No parkin' by the sewer sign
        Hot dog, my razor's broke
        Water drippin' up the spout
        But I don't care, let it all hang out

        Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees
        Sun is shinin' through the shade
        Nobody knows what it's all about,
        It's too much, man, let it all hang out

        Saw a man walkin' upside down
        My T.V.'s on the blink
        Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
        Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out

        Sleep all day, drive all night
        Brain my numb, can't stop now
        For sure ain't no doubt
        Keep an open mind, let it all hang out

        It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
        How does that mess you baby up, leg
        Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
        Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out


BTW Bob, Mission: Impossible premiered in Sept of '66...

Hello Goodbye, one of those non-holiday songs I always associate with Xmas since it was #1 for the entire month of December.

oh the musical parodies are quite clever. I was referencing the oft-stated opinion (and we've discussed this here before) that IDRnRM is one of the wimpiest songs ever written about "Rock".

Whether you like the song or not (I do) I was simply reacting to the assertion that they didn't listen to any.  That's a metaphysical stretch to say that!

They definitely listened to it.  Where I diverge from most of you is that I've always thought they were singing *in contempt of* it.

Gaz is right - of this there can be no doubt.  

Although by the time this song became a hit, their criticism of rock was off target.  Rock 'n' roll had changed (thanks to Dylan) and was becoming politically relevant, and the demarcation between Folk & Rock musically was blurring (thanks again to Dylan, his proteges the Byrds, and even the Mamas & Papas, which they even tacitly admit in the lyrics).  I think this song was the final salvo in the Folk vs. Rock argument, and Rock won without having to fire back.

Indeed. Brilliantly stated, in fact.
