DownGoesFrazier Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 My two favorite Sly songs are "Family Affair" and "If You Want Me to Stay". The group may have been the most diverse group ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Not sure that Keith makes the best stand-up comic. He's funny in a different way, just being manic. A luscious beautiful melody by Gram Parsons. Clearly he was under the influence of something when he titled it "Hot Burrito #!

C.Bogle Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 In addition to the Sly songs already mentioned, I'll add Everybody is a Star and the funky Thank You (Falettinbme Be Mice Elf Agin). Too bad drugs got the better of the band. Keith is actually a sit down comic. Not bad for an amateur. Brian Keith as a comic? That would be a scifi flick. Gram Parsons did hue closely to the country sound in the country rock genre. I remember seeing the Film Grand Theft Parsons a few years back. Not too bad.

misswonderly3 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm beginning to discover that Metallica were better than I'd thought. This is disappointing to me, as it means I have to relinquish my long and dearly-held convictions that they were mindless metal rubbish. Metal they may be, but I concede now that they are neither mindless nor rubbish. ( I like the folk versions of Whiskey in the Jar, aka Gilkenny Mountain, better than theirs', but I admire them for even knowing the song. Btw, I realize the song posted was not Whiskey in the Jar . I'm just sayin' .) The Cramps were this crazy punkabilly band from the early 80s - well, that was their heyday. I think they're a lot of fun; the less seriously you take them, the more you'll enjoy them. I think I saw them live once, but I'm not sure. They seem to be obsessed with monsters and Elvis. Here's a sample, with Rockin' Bones : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Bogle Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm not into metal too much anymore, but Metallica are pretty good, more melodic than your average headbangers, and while their lyrics are often a bit sophomoric, they come up with a good one on occasion. I do like their live version of Whiskey in the Jar. They go all out on what is a tribute to Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy, who had a hit with the song back in the early 1970s. I've seen the Cramps' weird artwork for a long time, but never really went any further. That doesn't really match up with an Elvis rockabilly sound, but it's only one song.

C.Bogle Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Another country music Hank, probably not as well know as some of the other ones, but he had a huge super duper #1 country hit back in 1960. Hank Locklin with Please Help Me, I'm Falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misswonderly3 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 What a delightully "square" guy. Nice little tune, too. I only mentioned the Cramps in conjunction with Elvis because they seem to model themselves after him a little, plus they have at least one song about him. But really, they just seem to like "rockabilly" in general, they put their own perverted and 80s spin on it - "psychobilly", maybe. I think they'd be the first to agree that they don't come anywhere close to The King. I never meant to compare them that way, I was just saying it's clear they like Elvis and have a bit of fun imitating him - or at least his hairdo and leather jackets - sometimes.

C.Bogle Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 There is a bit of a disconnect between Hank's every guy looks and the song's lyrics. I didn't know much about the Cramps beyond their punky horror image and was sort of expecting something different than their rockabilly sound, but that's just my own unfamiliarity with the band.

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 For '80s new wave rockabilly, aside from the Stray Cats, does the name Robert Gordon mean anything to you?......Incidentally, C.B., you're an hour late today with your afternoon post.

cujas Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Yesterday I went to the bottom of one of my cassette tape baskets to find one for the car and I happened upon the Greatest Hits of Gene Pitney. I had forgotten that Gene Pitney was one of the first Bacharach/David singers on the Top 40. Also, I'd forgotten that these were the first B/D songs I loved. Of course you remember "Only Love Can Break A Heart", "A Town Without Pity" and "Liberty Valence"--don't think Ford used this theme in the movie. But I had, indeed, forgotten, "24 Hours from Tulsa" and "Half Heaven, Half Heartache". The songs and Burt's arrangements still hold up today.

C.Bogle Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I was trying to peel the label off a tomato yesterday and it took a lot longer than I thought it would. I'm going to stick to apples. I remember the song and the movie Town Without Pity. Both were pretty good. I haven't seen the movie in years and I don't remember it playing on TCM recently. It's definitely worth requesting.

DownGoesFrazier Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I like Burt's Pitney songs. I believe he also wrote one of the Drifters' hits, maybe "Please Stay". I'm too lazy to look it up. Edited by: finance on Jun 12, 2011 3:47 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to stick to apples. LOL, another odd thing about "modern" life. I don't understand how they manage to grow those labels on the tomatos. But they certainly are part of the tomato itself and they are difficult to get off. I often wonder how many tomato labels I've eaten without realizing it. I hope they contain vitamins.

C.Bogle Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 They do amazing things with plant genetics nowadays. Just like the old saying Everybody eats some dirt during their life, the same with those labels. People will survive. I like a BLT sandwich and tomatoes in a sub sandwich, but I'm not crazy about tomatoes by themselves, so it's only an occasional problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
