I'd thought the same, I distinctly heard that slowing burp in the middle.

So, all you young'uns should have recognized the riff taken for that song Christopher Walken did the video for?  [my mind is dead right now, can't think of any names]

[later, jogging my mind via Google, it's Fatboy Slim, and Weapon of Choice I was thinking of]

I haven't seen it, but I believe you're talking about "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim.  That riff comes from Albatross?  Not sure I know what Albatross sounds like :(

Ha!  I mentioned this Vanilla Fudge coke jingle in my article for StarPolish.com on the EMP Pop Conference!

http://www.starpolish.com/features/columns/article.asp?ID=733

I have this and 50 others on CD, need to find a way to get them all to you.  "For Educational Purposes Only," as Douglas Wolk was careful to disclaim as he gave me the disc.


"20,000 eyes diggin' Vanilla Fudge..." That was legendary NY DJ Rosko doing the voiceover.  That Coke CD was commercially avail at one point, is it now out-of-print?

Really?  Wolk specifically stated that it hadn't been available, that he acquired them through other means (eBay and P2P, I'm guessing).  Among the highlights: Uncle Ray and Ree-Ree together; the Left Banke; and both the Who and Dusty Springfield singing of "Great Shakes," which I wish was still on the market (the malt additive, not the songs).


Saw it in Tower 10 years ago; nearly bought it and am sorry I didn't.

No, you missed my subject line!

The riff comes from Chambers Bros, "I Can't Stand It"

Ah, yes I did.  I confess that I never look there.  Bad habits from RadioParadise forum-ing where the subject is never used.  The forum IS the subject.  Gotta get recalibrated.

Sorry I missed the commentary. I have a boss at the You-Know-What who ALWAYS likes to suprise me with some last-minute "emergency" on Fridays.

I missed everything helping a cow-orker with a non-issue.  :cry:

Good luck on the new gig, Ali.

The powers-that-be are cutting us loose at 2 today!  Woohoo.  I think I'll shoot out to a local golf course....

Thanks, man.  I'm playing tomorrow and Sunday too.  Should help my game to come back around.  Didn't play enough this winter, and I can't play to my handicap at the moment.  Showing signs of improvement lately, though I keep blowing up on the first hole.  Played Poppy Hills a couple weeks ago and took an 11 on the first hole, but still shot 88 (one stroke out of the money in our club tourney).
