BOS2: Ram Jam.  Always a fave, one of the best One Hit Wonders ever.

ETA: is this a longer version than we usually hear?

Sorry I missed it.  That is definitiely one of my fave OHW's.  The single edit was much shorter & if you heard an extended guitar break, then yes, it was the long verison.

It also came from one of the great album names:  Portrait of the Artist as a Young Ram.

Now here's some Fleetwood Mac for Geoff.

Wow, I never knew that was a Kasenetz & Katz production! Or if I did I forgot long ago....

The NAACP were upset? The song was written by black guy, no?

I was going to type the exact words: "Wow, I never knew that was a Kasenetz & Katz production!" myself, but got a call & had to go out to get something for a client.  And I had the same thought about the NAACP, "How in the world can the NAACP protest a Ledbelly song!?"

On the other hand, I had just come up with this My 3 Songs concept last week, & this is the prefect place for it now:

David Bowie "Young Americans"
Lou Reed "Walk on the Wild Side"
Rolling Stones "Some Girls"

i take that to be a correct answer, all three songs make far-less-than politically correct references to african-american females.  probably not one that Annalisa will ever use.

the bass solo in "The Chain" is reputedly played on the very first prototype Alembic bass with a graphite neck we molded at the aerospace place I worked in.

I just saw that "Black Betty" is included on the Dukes of Hazzard movie soundtrack, along with a passel of Southern rock (Charlie Daniels, ABB, SRV and Molly Hatchet) and of course Jessica Simpson's remake of (brace yourself, Gaz) "These Boots are Made for Walkin'".
