CG/KPOO/KCDX etcetcetc for the week of 6/29/09

[RGMike]

KPOO's Marilynn is playing MJ (of course) and just played "Sugar Daddy", which she says she got as a 10-year-old on the back of a cereal box.

followed by the little-heard "Back to Indiana", and the song "Sugar Daddy" is modeled on, "Mama's Pearl" --give mah love a whirl!

[RGMike]

"you and I must make a pack"

A pack of what, Michael? cigarettes? gum?  One of my favorite mispronounced lyrics ever.

[RGMike]

Marilynn closes her show with the wonderful "Blame it on the Boogie", and again I must ask: how in the hell did this NOT become a Top 40 hit in the summer of '78?

[RGMike]

I knew I could count on mah man Judge: he's concentrating on obscure MJ and J-5 LP cuts that are mostly NTM. Fab stuff.

[RGMike]

here's the J-5 covering Gladys' "You Need Love Like I Do" -- Ms Knight gets the edge here, vocally and otherwise. Her version is palpably about sexual longing; these underage kids just don't give off that sorta heat.

ETA: I didn't know the Tempts did it before Gladys.

[RGMike]

LAWD! first time in this 4-day MJ marathon that I've heard the fab Dave Morey fave "I Am Love" -- the looooooooooong version. Sprinkle mahself around you!

[RGMike]

Finally! Bob Shannon on 'LNG plays the Seeds' "Pushin too Hard"

and he follows it with ... Gale Storm, "Dark Moon".

[RGMike]

'LNG takes a trip up to "Abergavenny" with Shannon (aka Marty Wilde, Kim's dad)

[RGMike]

aaaaaaack! it's rare 'LNG plays one of my all-time HFHs, but here's Emma, Emma, Emmaleen, high on that silva screen.

TANC-of-the-Week: I mentioned this over the wknd when we heard Cher's "Train of Thought, but here's "I Saw a man and he Danced With his Wife" -- a lovely song, one of her best, least-histrionic perfs... and it's not on the otherwise-extensive Best-of I have.

Nor on mine!  I have never heard this song!  Off to YouTube in a bit ...

LAWD! JJ has the night off -- and mah man Judge is sitting in! This is gonna be good.

Great vintage commercial for Car Wash: "The movie that will empty your ashtray, fill up your tank, and hot-wax you from front bumper to rear end" -- LOL!

Hope you found it and liked it.  Cher had 2 singles in the early '70s that just missed the Top 40: That one (#42 peak in fall of '74) and "Don't Hide Your Love" (#46 in fall of '72; a wacky Sedacky composition). I prefer both of these to "Train of Thought", but then we know Sonny wasn't the best picker of hits.

Holy Flaming Mutha of Mike Oldfield: Judge's "WTF?" track of the night is a disco version of "Tubular Bells".
