CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 4/20/09

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

listening to the UK play of Little Steven on Absolute Radio, since I fell asleep halway thru last nite's airing (musta been the heat).

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



"Do your parents KNOW you're Ramones??"

[RGMike]

"It's a strange strange world we live in, Master Jack" -- WLNG unearths this '60s nugget.

[RGMike]

Kim Weston: just a plain ol' ordinary (overweight) girl, "Lookin' For The Right Guy".

[RGMike]

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

[RGMike]

Gender confusion! a Sept '66 CG retro-chart features the Who's still-amazing "I'm a Boy" at #14

[RGMike]

Holy crap -- 'LNG goes for the tears with David Geddes, "Blind man in the Bleachers". 

[RGMike]

Miriam Makeba does the "Pata Pata" 'til de morning sun begins to shine. Ayyyi!

[RGMike]

OMFWTFLOL-of the-Week: the 5-D's "Living Together, Growing Together", one of their flop singles from the flop musical Lost Horizon.

[RGMike]

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.

[RGMike]

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".

[RGMike]

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

[Gazoo]

OMFWTFLOL-of the-Week: the 5-D's "Living Together, Growing Together", one of their flop singles from the flop musical Lost Horizon.

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!
