Week of 8/8 - 8/12
« on: August 08, 2005, 11:37:05 AM »
Dean plays The New Seekers' lovely cover of Harry Chapin's "Circles", one of their follow-ups to "I'd Like to Teach the World". A MUCH bigger hit in the UK than here. Haven't heard this since 1972.

and, after switching to WLNG: Vikki Carr! "It Must Be Him". Just a hunch: I bet Dave LOVES this song but would never play it in a million years.

I always dug the song, but it certainly rings just a tad pathetic, eh?

As pathetic as "With Pen in Hand"?  (Disclaimer/warning: If I ever see WPIH in a karaoke room, I'm taking it on as if it were a mechanical bull.)

I'm assuming you know Ms carr's version of WPIH, but it was also done around the same time by Billy "At This Moment" Vera, one of his earliest chart hits.

There ARE no coincidences, Part 3,765,221... Last nite KTEH showed a Harry Chapin special, lots of old performance footage, including "Circles".

Mr. Vera wrote the song, but I've never heard him sing it.  I guess it makes more sense from a male perspective -- why's she asking him to teach the girl how to do her hair? -- but I don't care for Vera's hot-rocks-hit-with-water voice.

Never heard that.  Have to add it to my list of Soft Cell songs I like better than "Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go."

OOooh Mike, quick, switch back to DDT, it's your favorite Eagles song!
