Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of Beej's tambourine.


the tambourine being the instrument they give to the guy in the band who otherwise lacks any musical talent, Beej assigns himself that role if he doesn't quite have his music trivia creds up to snuff (such as misidentifying an artist).  Which is to say he has a self-deprecating sense of humor & we all love him for it.

Dave's  Yahoo messenger ID has the following tag after his logon: "anybody remember Pickettywich?"

So, can anyone here clue me in? I'm stumped. (Dave sez it was a national hit.)


Pickettywitch, "That Same Old Feeling" -- I remember it.  A medium-sized hit as I recall. Nice bit o'pop. lead singer Polly Brown later had "Up in a Puff of Smoke".

LOL! It's my own fault, really. Whenever I make some insanely wrong guess about who did what song and am wrong- I mention that if we were a band, I'd play the tambourine. Because, let's face it, tambourining isn't exactly rocket science, y'know?


List of great tamborine players:
Davey Jones, the Monkees
Betty, the Archies
uh....

I'm not to keen on this "Celebrity Ball" song. I don't know why. I mean, the "celebrate, celebrate" part is nice- but overall? I don't care.


But as it's 3 Dog Night, we should remember to give it a proxy form Gaz.  You know, just in case he checks the boards later.

last night at band practice, the song screamed for some tambourine, and one of the best singers/musicians picked it up!  So, it's a badge of honor to me!

yay! Pickettywitch!  VHM for obscuity value alone. Nice.

But a much bigger hit in the UK than here.

Consulted AMG after posting that--which sez they were another in the Foundations/Edison Lighthouse/Paper Lace canon. This peaked at #67 in 1970, which may explain why I don't remember it--at that point in my life, I was strictly a Top 40 kinda kid.
Let's get right to it.

Dave must be getting Peter Jennings from a "looking back" type show. I don't remember seeing him til the mid 80s
