Judge in a silly mood: we're doin' the "Bertha Butt Boogie"!
-
Forgotten disco nugget: Gary Tom's Empire, "7-6-5-4-3-2-1 (Blow Your Whistle)".
-
Judge digs up Tavares' fab cover of "Free Ride".
-
And now Herbie Mann is "Hi-Jack"ing mah love!
and... it's the loooooooooooooooong version!

JJ on KPOO played Jimmy Castor Bunch's "Bad" last Sat night.. did you catch that, Mike?

indeed -- I never miss JJ on Sat nite. "lost and found Soul (Soul... Soul... Soul..)"
Judge just unearthed Retta Young's "Sending Out an SOS", which is truly a forgotten disco nugget I haven't heard since the '70s.
-
Kool & the Gang say "Open Sesame" and get down with the genie!

Long Live Jambi!
Mekka lekka hi, mekka hiney ho!
-
Damn! my fave underplayed Ohio Players tune: "Who'd She Coo?" Appropriate, since Judge has been on Fire today.

TANC: look at my trivia questions again.

OMG! I'd've never made the connection with "Hey Leroy".
-
The Peak player not working for me 2 days in a row, and The Drive is doing 1986 today, so I'll take a pass and spend the next 75 mins with JJ on KPOO. Levi's with the One-Eyed Gott again.
-
early KPOO BOS: "Expressway to Your Heart", with the sly let's-get-this-past-the-censors line "I've been tryin' to get (in)to you..." where the "in" barely registers.
-
BOS2 and a welcome soul nugget: early Honey Cone, "While you're out lookin' for sugar, somebody's gonna take yo' honey!"
-
it be Marfa! She be a Vandella! "A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knock-Knock-Knock-Knockin')".
-
I can't tell if this VERY early Supes hit "Buttered Popcorn" (Flo sings lead!) is just silly or a really disgusting sexual metaphor ("he likes it greasy... and sticky... and salty" EWWW!).
-
Bob Shannon does a Mitch Mitchell trib with "Fire". Stop actin' so crazy!
-
TANC: I was listening to Stevie's GH Vol. 1, including "Fingertips," yesterday.
-
"What key?! What key?!"
"What drummer? What drummer?"
Oh, and now one of the most poorly sung hits ever: "Down at Papa Joe's."
-

"It's thicker than cream on a monkey's back" Er -- WHAT?

Between that and this morning's buttered popcorn, I'm learning a wealth of new uses for dairy products!

I don't suppose you've ever seen Last Tango in Paris? ;)

Patsy Cline's "Sweet Dreams" never fails to give me chills.
-
Patsy Cline's "Sweet Dreams" never fails to give me chills.
and that was a rather nice segue from Patsy's "Dreams" to Percy's "Sea of Love".
-
another Percy reference: the Everlys version of "Gone Gone Gone", which Mr Plant did with Alison Krauss.
Followed by Chuck Berry's "C'est La Vie", which was also country-covered (by Emmylou).
-
Never cared for Buddy Holly's hiccup effect on his vox. Then again, maybe that's my anti-pre-Beatles bias for ya.

Def a period thang, and it never did become widespread (except for Tommy Roe's "Sheila")
speaking of period pieces, Jerry Lee Lewis. "Whose barn? What barn? Mah barn!"
-
Jerry Lee Lewis is one of very few rockers to whom the term "dangerous" actually applies. I can see why mothers were wary - his shtick strikes me as equal parts sex and violence.

And he had MORE THAN ONE wife die under mysterious circumstances! (Wife #4 drowned in a swimming pool in 1982. Wife #5 OD'd on methadone in 1983.) The "Killer" indeed.
-
Otis! he a LOVE man!

I have serious reservations regarding Elvis. His cultural influence can never be overstated, obviously, he changed everything. But I think he's overrated as a singer, and after he left Sun, RCA neutered and sugar-coated him horribly. Great pop records all along the way, certainly (we know how I adore "Suspicious Minds"), but an awful lot of crap too.
-
"Sweet Sweet" Ree-Ree at #1.

Bob Shannon makes a great point here: "Cara Mia" may be one of the most stunning vocal tours des forces in rock history.

But it ain't rock, it's pseudo-operatic claptrap. Jay and the Americans were a completely unnecessary group (the 4 Seasons without falsetto: er, what's the point?), tho' I like some of their jaunty pop stuff like "Let's Lock The Door".
-
OMFG! 'LNG plays the version of Cliff Nobles' "The Horse" that has lyrics! I have never heard this before.
ETA: they played both sides!
-
Johnny Nash pushes his, er, wood for the second time this week. Some guys have all the luck.
-
back to 'LNG in time for Eydie Gorme! I'll take "great cheezy organ solos" for 500, Alex.
-
"sunshine, lollipops and
rainbows
that's how this re-
frain goes!"
Leslie Gore brightens my day with an early Marvin Hamlisch composition.
-
a lovely little-heard Drifters tune, "Sand in My Shoes", a sort-of sequel to "Under the Boardwalk"
-
OMGWTFLOL-of the week: this NTM orig version of "Break-a-Way" by Irma Thomas! A Jackie DeShannon composition, and I only know the Tracey Ullman version!
and now Brenda Lee's "Comin' on Strong" -- and Golden Earring are nowhere in sight!
-
another OMGWTF: Wind's forgotten, Tommy James-meets-the-4 Seasons-ish "Make Believe", with Tony Orlando on lead vox! Covered in the '80s by Joan Jett.
in case anyone (especially Gaz) has never heard it:

another OMGWTF: Wind's forgotten, Tommy James-meets-the-4 Seasons-ish "Make Believe"
Perfect description, man! I've known of this song for years but had never heard it till now.
-
oo-wahwah-oo-wahwah-oo! I opted for WLNG this morning and was rewarded with "Sad Sweet Dreamer" and Bobby Sherman's "Hey Little Woman". and -- OMG -- Rita Coolidge's cover of Dave's all-time favorite song.
-

glad you liked. And speaking of something-something-meets-the 4 Seasons, here's The Fortunes' fab "Rainy Day Feeling" again. Followed by Pet Clark's "My Love", from the short list of diff songs with the same title that both hit #1. Tony Hatch: underappreciated genius!
-
and here's Donny & his Brothers screamin on "Yo-Yo" -- meant to mention when we heard it from Casey this weekend that it was written by... Joe South!
-
OMGWTFLOL -- the cover of the Beatles' "Birthday" by Underground Sunshine -- I have not heard this in ages. I looked everywhere for it (to no avail) when I was making Beatles-covers mixtapes back in the '90s.

They continue to be amazing, never fail to give me an OMGWTF track in any random half-hour. Bless that crazy millionaire, hope he never sells the station.
Are the Stam Peders anything like the Cow Orkers?

On first glance I thought it was Stan Peders!

OMGWFTLOL-of-the-Month: London's Heart Radio plays the long-forgotten medley of MJ's "Billie Jean" and the Dan's "Do It Again" (if you've never heard it, it works perfectly) by a one-shot group called Clubhouse. Haven't heard this in ages. A mashup long before the term was invented.

Segue of the day on WLNG: from "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" to Roger Miller's "Dang Me".

Pet Clark's "My Love", from the short list of diff songs with the same title that both hit #1.
With Justin Timberlake's effort last summer, "My Love" became the first title to hit #1 in THREE different guises.

Hooray for Little Steven's annual Thanksgiving show: led by Little Eva's "Let's Turkey Trot" (which oddly was a hit in March), the Beatles' "Your Bird Can Sing", Rufus Thomas doin' the "Funky Chicken" and The Time doin' "The Bird"!
