I liked Thee Headcoat Sect , if only because Keith Grant and Don Crane were in it.

It's funny you should say that , an old ex - friend and I were listening to "Alternative Ulster " , and he heard it as "A tail of RED LOBSTER " ! Jake Burns is , or was , living here in town...I wonder if anyone ever told him that.

There were a few misheard F-Bombs in the 60's.
Bobby Fuller Four - "I Fought The Law" "I miss my baby and a good fuck" ("..and her GOOD FUN.". ). Yes , The BF4 DID record a version with an "F- Bomb" , but , of course , that was not the hit single version. IF THEY'D HAVE DONE THAT , BOBBY MIGHT HAVE BEEN MURDERED SOONER THAN HE ACTUALLY WAS.
Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels - "Sock It To Me , Baby" "Every time you kiss me , hits me like a FUCK!") ("Hits me like a punch.".).
And the FAR lesser known Ron Haydock's "99 Chicks" - "99 Chicks , and it's just my luck , ain't one o' these chicks I'd want to FUCK!". Again , there was a dirty version , and a clean version (Where the F- word is replaced by brief silence.) , but , all 37 people who heard the original single when it came out , did not hear an F-Bomb.
Oh , yeah , there's "The King of Fuh" by Brute Force. It was on Apple Records. Does'nt mean it would have got airplay if he had'nt said "Fuh King" over and over ....
The Who's version of Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues" must have got some FM airplay , even tho' Daltrey says "They got sweeeeeeeeet FUCK - ALL !!!". That's not a phrase commonly used in the States , so Deejays could have said it was something else when The FCC came a- knockin'.
My Dad had a business associate that told me , back in the 50's , "You were'nt cool at my school unless you'd heard that new Gene Vincent record , "Lotta Lovin'" , that goes "Well , I wanna , wanna lotta , lotta FUGGIN' !"....Of course , Gene did'nt say that , and he did'nt say "Fuggin'' on "Woman Love" , either , but , as if almost losing his leg was'nt bad enough , between the censors and the Musician's Union , Gene had virtually no career at all in The U.S. by the very early 60's.
The Devil Dogs "Saturday Night Fever" LP has that party background noise going on... "Big Fuckin' Party!"
I know I've heard many others over the years, too, but that's the only one coming to my mind at the moment.
Got a lot of Norton booty - The new Figures of Light LP , "Drop Dead"(Recommended.). The new Dave "Baby" Cortez (W/Lonnie Younglood and Mick Collins.) LP (TWICE AS RECOMMENDED), The Adny Shernoff/Dave "Baby" Cortez Stones single , The Ltd. ed. Bloodshot Bill 45 , Non - Norton swag - A 3 LP SPIKE JONES LIVE RADIO SET. The self - produced fine as wine live LP by The Alarm Clocks , THE VERY GOOD - BUT - WE - NEED - MORE - GERRY AND "THE WITCH " AND "HE'S WAITIN" LIVE SONICS 10"....That's more than I deserve , already.
I got the Acid Baby Jesus LP and the Magnetix "Drogue Electrique" LP. It was a very good Christmas.
I love my new The Feeling of Love album. What did you get for Christmas?
Chuck Barris ? HA HA. Good call , but , no , I think it's that one guy , one of The "Action" Dancers. Don't know , but , he was one of two , MAYBE three nonwhite Dancers/Emcees on the show. I think he was East Indian .....Dick Clark fought racial/ethnic mixing on his show for years , while Alan Freed was crucified for doing the opposite. By the mid - 60's , I think , Clark had to bend a little. But , I re-checked. That's not Barris. Dug his two - layered Mod haircut ,tho'. Sorry to get on the soapbox. I just resent hearing Clark get all the credit , when Freed , Dewey Phillips , Hoss Allen and others held big neon signs around their necks that read "BEAT MY ASS AND SET MY HOUSE ON FIRE !!", while Clark was washed clean by the blood of the lamb , by neutering R'n'R AT EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY.

This first volume is priceless, the stuff following it doesn't do as much for me, but just the fact that this music *exists* is pure magic. Parallel World, indeed...
Dude, just use the "media" embed button. This site doesn't use some kinda funky BBcode.
