wow -- Rod the Bod's fine cover of "What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made a Loser Out of Me)". Haven't heard this in ages.

NTM: the Long Island Sound, "1 2 3 And I Fell", a cover of an obscure Tommy James/Shondells song from 1968. Couldn't find it on YouTube, sadly.

A Tommy James anth is well worth owning, Mike.  (And anyone else who can appreciate well-written bubblegum.)  If I haven't already recommended it, seek out the proto-Partridge "Get Out Now."

another rarity: 'LNG just played the *other* version of "Can't Find the Time To Tell You" by Rose Colored Glass -- the Orpheus version is far superior but I'd never heard this take before.

Indeed, "1 2 3..." is closer to 1910 Fruitgum Co than, say, "Sugar on Sunday" or "Tighter Tighter".

Totally agree.  I have the RCG cover on a Dick Bartley comp.  Shockingly, it charted higher than Orpheus (#63 vs #80, or something like that).

and speaking of bubblegum, here's the Archies delightful "Jingle Jangle" -- sing me, sing me, baby!

Lawdy! The Delaney & Bonnie version of "Only You Know & I Know". I'm assuming that's Leon Russell on piano.

Followed -- only on 'LNG! -- by Soupy Sales, "Do the Mouse", yeah! Do it in your house, yeah!

Madeline Bell's orig of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me", before the Supes'n'Tempts got hold of it.

There's lots of Ms Bell on YouTube, but astoundingly, not this song.

It's right up there, just barely ahead of "Move In a Little Closer, Baby."

and TANC: here's ABBA's "Honey Honey" "Now I know what they mean -- you're a love ma-SHEEEEN!" (I never noticed those grunts'n'groans in the background before!)

Darlene Love is waitin' til her Bobby gets home.  Hope it's not Bobby Goldsboro.

She'd be better off with Amos Moses... even with half an arm missing.
