Holy Rolly! DJ Marilynn plays Ike & Tina's take on "Come Together".  Tina's mondegreens are better than John's real lyrics.

Steven's show this week was his annual salute to the Ramones. Fabulous.

forgotten Neil Diamond: "Walk on Water" -- Neil was as infatuated with African rhythms as Paul Simon, but didn't get nearly the credit/respect.

A fab flashback on the KYA simulation: the Isley Bros rarely-heard version of "Take Me In your Arms (Rock Me)"

Followed by that totally psychedelic Vanilla Fudge Coke commercial.

another KYA rarity: the orig studio version of Procol Harum's "Conquistador" -- I've maybe heard this once before in the past 35 years.

And it's followed by the GrassRoots' little-heard "Midnight Confessions" soundalike, "Lovin' Things".

One of the best "socially conscious" lyrics of the '60s (which is saying something): Ray Stevens' "Mr Businessman".

NTM.  Not one of their best.  But at least the 5Ds make better sport of it than what I presume to be the film version.

I've never seen the film -- one of the big Oscar-bait gambits of that year, and the critics just savaged it. Liv Ullman and Peter Finch sing!
