Okay - if Jim Morrison & trumpet girl had a baby - anyone got one of those programs that lets you see that? I'm thinking, boy or girl, they'd rock. Incidentally, the girl he's describing is very obviously trumpet girls (grand?)mother - but due to racial sensitivity, all the girls are kinda whitebread. And the reason he never makes eye contact? Painfully shy - how cute is that?

xeena -- Do you suppose Bobby McFerrin sang that little ditty at Marley's funeral? Probably not. Maybe at the 10th anniversary of his death. But, it's a great song. Following Helen's lead, including the decade, I chose this one:

Yeow - does that bring back memories. Snoopy vs. the Red Baron was one of the first 45's I ever bought. Must have played it twenty times straight after bringing it home. Now, it brings back fond memories re-hearing it ONCE but getting thru a second time starts to resemble torture. Good thing the old man wasn't home back on that day in the 60's. Here's another song that made me smile back then that might be a nit more listenable now.

Some of the all female bands were probably very good (though very few who played their own instruments emerged at the time). Some of the bands, including the Continental Co-Ets, The Belles, However, one of them managed to actually record a record through their father's influence and money, and they may be the worst band of all time. The Shaggs were very young and, as I hear the story, had limited musical training. Their father believed that none of the 60s bands had any talent, and anybody who could get a song on vinyl was destined to be a big hit. The result was predictably horrid. The band is shown at 47 seconds of the first in xeena's series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkyZuUNQRNc If you click the link below, just be warned.

While chasing down "sweet violets", I followed a wonderful You Tube tangent that took me deep into odd songs. I circled back through Michael Buble' (ack) and stumbled upon this gem. I love Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife", but this rendition by Lotte Lenya is special. (Is it getting warm in here?) I have visions of Lotte in pair of fishnet stockings and a tuxedo jacket standing on a chair with one foot propped on the back and singing this song just for me. Or maybe I'm confusing her for Madeline Kahn singing "I'm Tired" from Blazing Saddles. But then I remember Lenya's role as Rosa Klebb in "From Russia with Love", and the fantasy is broken. Sing to me, sweetheart, and send me to Lotte Lotte land.
