BOS BOZ, just a f***ing gorgeous song.  Amazing that somebody else didn't score with a cover version of this, a la Rita Coolidge with "We're All Alone".

I imagine it could be done, but the original is just so...perfect!  Maybe it has been done.


I'm not saying it woulda been a GOOD cover, but lots of folks around back then could've given it a shot. I was thinking Tony Orlando, actually.

BOS2: Rev Green.  "Sha-la-la" indeed!

When was this on? I got stoned and I missed it, as it were. Amazed that Beej was able to pull that off: He's acknowledged that he spent much of the '70s heavily coked up and literally does not remember the recording of "Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song." (Which I've been jonesing to hear for a very long time as well.)

His show was on in the early to mid 70s. He may have been coked up- but as a young lad I wasn't attuned to such things yet.

Honorable Flashback: Young Frankenstein. I remember my parents coming home from seeing this at the movie theater. They were still laughing.

VVVHM to the Young Frankenstein ad. Great flick, but that goes without saying.

BOS2 to Joni, giving in to her jazzier side.

Allmusic says Rita did a version.  Looks like someone besides Boz wrote it anyway.

Guess what, Rita Coolidge DID cover it, on her 1978 release Love Me Again.

KEE-RAP, was that Cheech and Chong in the background on the Joni tune? I've never noticed that before.

If you're gonna play "Twisted" -- which is always a nice idea -- you really have to play it in conjunction with "Trouble Child," and you really have to make it Tune Number Ten.

I'm just sayin'.

so, this is song 8, right?  I want to wait until I  hear if song 9 or 10 is from Mars Hotel before casting my official BOS for Boz.
