Oldies that stick in your head...


Spouse Ev has been binge-watching 'Only Murders In The Building'; at the close of one episode at the start of the end credit crawl....

Suddenly, an old fave starts....

Del Shannons' "Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow The Sun...)...

...pardon the YT ads...

Anybody have that which kicks your 'WayBack' Time-Warp into play?

Jan. '65 is a major jump for this senior....*L*

@bdp24 ...*L*  Great call on Lowes' WSFBPL&U....The tape in my head went to playback on me, and that in itself makes me not object to whatever fortune it allowed him... 👍

....Ev’s comment was "...sounds like something from ’65...."

*Gave her The Look*

Cue’d up The Smithereens’ "Behind The Wall Of Sleep"....

 

"...and so, what’s changed all that much?"

...extra stanzas and solos don’t count, since things aren’t on 45’s as much...I was 14, and in Junior High, a deep dive...*!*

Lets’ hear it....

@larsman , another fav of mine is "Strangers When We Meet" off that LP...
@roxy54 , but which one of the 2 is my ?....;)

@czarivey , *G*  Depends on your age, I'd wager...it's 17 yrs. later on my time scale, and  I was 31 in the Bay Area and already with or about to be 'spoused'...looking for real estate we could afford, probably....🤷‍♂️

Call me an 'oldie' and I'll 'dope slap' you, but all in good fun....*L*

(...we had 2 anniversaries....when we met & when we got 'legal'....

Forgot both, and settled on Val's Day....*LOL*)

Lazy hippie tykes....

@mesch ....then we're contemporaries, and not (perhaps) just contemnor's or contemptuous....*L* ;)

Drilling back and finding this song....blew my mind how short it was.

I guess playing the 45 repeatedly with a 5gram needle kinda bored a dent in ones' synapse....

Early Drain Bamage.....🤪

Noticed last night, there's a musical coda from the song that repeats in the show, towards the end of the episodes,,,,

@czarivey *L* Precisely....the fact that it instantly popped up into focus, and I was able to drill to it <5min..... !

"Runaway" (also D. Shannon?) came up afterwards....'falsetto' singing....songs & singers featuring such...."...won't come back from Deadmans' Curve..."

I go this late morning, after waking with 'aching everything' (overhead work previous day) to re-arrange what's left of hair....

I've got "old mans' ears and nose"....my head is shrinking....

 

....but I started this to assure my id, ego, and whatever's left that I'm not alone in these musical moments of ancient anonomli....

@jwei 👍...that's the spirit.... ;)  Not the 'guilty indulgences', but the...'home cooking', feel good kinda stuff...*S*

Old Stevie Wonder doing a thing with his harmonica to a live audience...It's A Beautiful Day soaring 'White Bird'.... Harry Nielsen's doing almost anything from his earlier stuff...Zappa's "We're Only In It For the Money" parody of Sgt. Pepper...

That which made you smile despite your BGF telling you're not welcome at the door mat no more....no matter what the mood enhancer wuz.......

(Withhold names to protect the guilty....)

Oh, 'ell....the 'indulgences' as well....*L* 

Anyone around that level of technology ought to have ditched that (those?!) cassettes, dubbed 'em, and stashed them into a 'keepsake' box....

Meanwhile, what would 'umans be listening to 'then', anyway?

Certainly, music ought to have survived....?

If not....I'm not up to 'go there'....unless I get to drag a batch of multi-Tbyte drives with me....;)

ah.....Steppen out with the Wolves....

Love it when taken out to play..... ...a little night road music?

Meself, I’d rather be taken out on the MCR.........with some different pilots at the ’trolls.... ;)
If I missed that buss...........snag the next escape....

'cus, Cuz....y'all never know where you'll go unless you hit the switch. :))

@audiophileman It does have that infectious ’romp’ to it... *grin*

What became of two members of that group is what fascinates me...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Flo_%26_Eddie_and_the_Turtles

The stint they did with F. Zappa is kinda branded into my brain, they seemed to be having too much fun considering how perfection-oriented Frank could be....

If you haven’t before, jam a bobby pin into your Waaayback device and strain brain watching

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/200_Motels#:~:text=Principal%20scenes%20of%20200%20Motels,Theodore%20Bikel%2C%20and%20Keith%20Moon.

....and a later argument over having a mezzo-soprano singing

"Munchkins get me hot...." with Zubin Mehta, mere rumor or no....

...missed that, living in SF with quarterly returns to LA...

*sigh* Can’t be everywhere...

 

I like to chase down the brief snippets of the audihistory mine, a synapse flash that demands the rest of it....

a nice extended edit of.... This.....  with the lovely bowed base refrains in both.

The brash blast of guitars opening Something about not forgetting.....lasting long enough to not....

...too many synapse lay in wait....one can only be 'ware.... ;)

Good morning from the Disaster Area....

Woke to my semi-consciousness to 'Downtown' by Pet Clark playing cerebrally which devolved into one of the endless parodies I've giggled at....

This being one that works for this site:

May I suggest that
With that big screen tv set,
You should also own--S'rround Sound
I'm tellin' ya' Hector
To that HD projector
Adds the perfect tone--S'rround Sound
Such realistic gunfire through your woofer, Man, it's heaven!
Neighbors call the cops, report an Ak fourty seven
Don't turn it down..

The whole house is shakin' now
But, just forget all your trebles, and crank up the bass
Y'got S'rround Sound, audio's great with your
S'rround Sound--Vibrating walls occur
S'rround Sound--what a lease breaker for you

Movie enchantment, it's the perfect enhancement
For those DVD's--S'rround Sound
Impress your friends, and show what magic transcends
From these technologies--S'rround Sound
If you're wife gets pissed off and she threatens with divorcin'
Tell the bitch, "Get Lost!" you're watchin' "Citizen Kane" with Orson
Lovin' that sound..

The whole house is shakin' now
But, just forget all your trebles, and crank up that bass
Y'got S'rround Sound, Jet planes sound great with your
S'rround Sound--thunder is thunder-er
S'rround Sound--what a home wrecker for you!
