Strange songs from the 1960's

[Elvis]

Yes indeed! c. 1964-65...you had to tape quarters to the cardboard to keep it from spinning around on the turntable

Like The Archies & The Monkees records we'd cut off the back of the cereal boxes.

Jackson 5 too.

Don't remember them.
Must've been later on.
Here's what I have. Look familiar?

What? You don’t have the one by Bobby Sherman?
Count your blessings, it means you’re prob’ly psychologically stable and can actually play with some soul. Haha

 

[Elvis]

I think I have a Bobby Sherman 45, but not a ceral box record.
The 4 I showed you are all I have....I think.

 

[richardh253]

Always loved Toni Wine's vocals. She has such a sweet touch.
That was a pretty solid group ... Toni, Ron Dante, Andy Kim, and Bobby Bloom to name a few.
There's a reason those songs did so well ... even though they were "bubblegum".
Solid song construction, great vocalists, and serious session players.
That's a pretty good forumula for success.

Here's a cover of the song you might enjoy.

I got a LEE HAZELWOOD story (Lee wrote "Boots are Made For Walkin" and "Some Velvet Morning").

I played with a faded Nashville semi-star (Rod Hart... google him) at a big country dance hall in Prescott AZ all thru the 1980's... anyway, Rod knew Lee Hazelwood from his days in Nashville and Lee would hang out in Arizona with Wrecking Crew session guitarist AL CASEY a lot. So Lee comes up to Prescott one night with Al Casey and they were just getting really loaded at the club. Lee eventually gets up to sing with Al on guitar, and we stumble thru BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN'. Lee H just sorta drunkenly mumbled the words. It was a real mess! He acted like a total drunken star, would not talk to a nobody drummer like me.



Here is another one from Lee and Nancy... what a video!! Kinda shows Lee's non-singing vocal style

 

[GMFrancis]

Style points for the WMP Radio Kings

agreed it’s also got a bit of Syd Barrett about it.

 

[Ghostin one]

Oogum Boogum

Man this guy could sing !

 

[yetanotherdrummer]

And here we have one from The Beatles.

My friends and I would sit around just howling at that little record, playing it over and over and over again. I'd like to say it was a product of adolescent humor that I matured from, but unfortunately once I found it on YT decades later, I began to howl at it just like before...

Like Incense and Peppermint, this song made ZERO sense to me but sounded so way out I got buzzed listening to it each time. Great little intro groove, though, that stayed with my percussive mind over the years to come.

 

[larold]

Brigitte et Serge.

The Who's silliest song, which they released as a single.

Nobody loves me……I THINK was the song…..
