OMGWTFLOL! Skope -- "Be Mine Again", the orig translation-from-Italian of the song that later became "Live For Today". one! two! three! four!

sha la la la la dangit

I think I missed this one.  This station can be an embarrassment of riches, esp if your riches are seldom heard pop nuggets from the 60s/70s.

[Tinka Cat]

Holy frijoles!  The Equals (f/Eddie Grant) do a song called Laurel and Hardy.  Pretty fun and way less annoying that Electric Avenue.

[RGMike]

Lawd have mercy! Joe South, "Games People Play". this one makes my day.

People walking up to ya
Singing glory hallelujah
And they're tryin to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord

followed by "Psychotic Reaction"!  an embarrassment of riches indeed, TC.

[RGMike]

UK oddity: Otis' version of "My Girl", which reached #11 over there in '65 while the Tempts' orig did nothing until it was reissued in 1992!

[RGMike]

Holy crap! Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich, "Zabadak"!

[Tinka Cat]

Holy crap! Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich, "Zabadak"!

yeah, that was fun. Absolutely NTM, as are many songs here.  who did the one before "Zabadak"?  "Johnny Stay Away" I think it was?  sounded a tad like Lulu?   I didn't see a playlist on their site, maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

there's a "now playing" strip at the top of their web page; it often changes before the song is half-over. DD,D,B,M&T were HUGE in the UK -- 13 hits betw '65 and '69 -- and completely unknown in the states.

[RGMike]

OMFG! The Tokens' sweet, 4 Seasons-ish "She Lets Her Hair Down" -- it was orig a shampoo commercial.
