The hits just keep on coming--

As a kid, that SNL sketch actually scared me. Since I wasn't allowed to watch the Exorcist, that was enough to rattle my security.

dunno where that Exorcist parody (2 years after the movie?) is from.


I dunno either, but I'm gonna go out on a limb & say it's from the first season of SNL.

Strange trivial info re: You're No Good.

before this version came out, I saw Steelwind at GAMH (band that Craig Chaquico was in before the Starship) and they did this song. Somehow they picked up on this song before Linda released it.  It sounded real good, either way!

it's a '60s R&B song (Betty Everett), so it wasn't new.

Tubes "What Do You Want From Life" 

Heavy ripoff from Zappa's "Does This Kind of Life Look Interesting to You?"

we're verging on 1-way tie territory.  But the Tubes' WDYWFL will doubtlessly win the Foghead vote, as it has each of the three previous times it got played.

But seriously I'm gobsmacked. I've been trying to get "Minestrone" from DM for 18 years!

Im dancing on the white house lawn
Sipping tea by the taj mahal at dawn
Hanging round the gardens of babylon
Minnie mouse has got it all sewn up
She gets more fan mail than the pope
She takes the mickey out of all my phobias
Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
Im leaning on the tower of pisa
Had an eyeful of the tower in france
Im hanging round the gardens of babylon
And the seat of learning
And the flush of success
Relieves a constipated mind
Im like a gourmet in a skid row diner
A fitting menu for a dilettante
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze
Love is a fire of flaming brandy
Upon a crepe suzette
Lets get this romance cooking, honey
But let us not forget
Life is a minestrone
Served up with parmesan cheese
Death is a cold lasagne
Suspended in deep freeze

I emailed a BOS to AL for 10cc, and told her I'd been trying to get Dave to play it for 18 years, so she had made my day/week/month. She wrote back almost immediately to thank me, she wasn't sure if anyone remembered it since she's never heard it on the radio here.
