Part of me hates to have the surprise ruined.  The rest of me is grateful that I was able to turn off the volume before the excrement that is "The No No Song" came on.


oh stop... it's cute and harmless.

VHM Young Frankenstein!

"In black and white... no offense!"


Harmless, sure.  But I *hate* badly-done accents ("it was de best in oh de land"), I get annoyed by the laziness of songwriting that uses the same rhyme in every verse ("did not understand / best in all de land"), the line "no thank you please, it only makes me sneeze" is cringeworthy (and nonsensical when it comes to the homebrew), and the fact that Ringo was actually doing all of these things (probably right there in the studio) isn't funny-ironic even though he certainly thought so at the time.

can someone tell me if gary wright ever did anything worth listening to other than "dream" weaver" and "love is alive?" i absolutely love those two songs, but i wonder if he was just a two-off.

Not for nothing, I thought he and Gary Myrick ("She Talks in Stereo") were the same person for a long time.

That was the very definition of over-thinking that which does not need to be over-thought :wink:

This gets my BOS.  I absolutely loved this song & for some reason it fell of the map vis a vis the Classic Rock that Rocks format.

Also just about the only artist from St. Louis of any significance to pop up between Chuck Berry & Nelly.

Perhaps because it sounds like nails on a blackboard?

the "Classaic Rock That Rocks" format pretty much revolves around that description -- I'd rather hear Head East than, say, the Scorpions.

It does not.

Well, I guess it's just the combination of their original mix tone, what WM player does, coming through my tinny computer speaker, that gives me this incipient headache.  Sorry to have dissed someone's favorite song.  I'm going to find my advil now.

Interesting observation!  The only others I can think of are Smith (their 1969 #5 cover of "Baby It's You") and their lead singer Gayle McCormick (who had a minor charter in 1971 called "It's a Crying Shame").

Bloodstone ("Natural High") were from K.C., right?
