13 July 2010: it's... 1971

BOS proxy Gaz for Lighthouse "One Fine Morning"

Quick My Three Songs:

Osmonds, "One Bad Apple"
Joe South, "Games People Play"
Jimmy Castor Bunch, "Bertha Butt Boogie"

same producer (his name escapes me)?  Mr South wrote the Osmonds' "Yo-Yo", BTW.

I'd forgotten about the "Yo-Yo" connection, but no - the link is lyrical.

nice one, tough.   I had to look it up.  at first I was looking at Spinners' Games People Play, before I realized you asked about Joe South's version -- I would never had gotten this without googling for it.

Oh, *NOW* I get it...

You got it.  Specifically, songs that say "sock it to YOU."

Caught the last four tunes of the replay--darn fine set. Wish I'd been able to get all of it but couldn't pull it off. BOS to Todd, natch.

a phrase that caused much hand-wringing in the Osmond family when they recorded "OBA". Mom Osmond was horrified -- "doesn't that mean something dirty??"
