My youngest daughter has had Taylor Swift playing on a loop for a couple of days now.  I need to delete it from her tablet and replace with some Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.

Found another symphonic rendition of this masterful piece. In segments this time though. This one is one of my favorites of Der Ring

Man, that video from the music show is just bizarre. The song is catchy though, so it makes sense that it hit the charts for a while.

Let me tell ya ghostman Mouth and MacNeal had the time of their lives ridin' the wave of popularity from 1972 to 1973. They were Everywhere! The Merv Griffin Show, the Mike Douglas Show, the Tonight Show and I think they made an appearance on American Bandstand. They made such a fun couple - trio if you includes Mouth's drunk puppet! Lordy, the way he would carry that little puppet around, funny and creepy at the same time, lol.

You guys shouldda heard Casey Kasem on American Top 40. Each week AT40 tracked songs as they climbed the charts but also followed songs as they slid off the charts. And "How Do You Do" took forever to fall far enough that Casey never had to mention the song again - I thought I detected relief in his voice!

I'll say this until my last day alive - 1970 to 1974 was the strangest period for popular music I have ever experienced. The music scene had no definitions, musical genres were meaningless. A group of guys from the UK score a hit with the song, "The Night Chicago Died" in the USA, makes perfect sense to me. 



Here's another One Hit Wonder from 1972 that I posted over at Retro Junk. A strange yet catchy tune from a brother & sister singing duo, Mac and Katie Kissoon. Mac and Katie were born in Trinidad and moved to the UK just as the British Music Tsunami was beginning to wash over the world.

If you've never heard this song before notice the distinct "West Indies" vibe in the sound of the chorus. They almost sound African in their tone and cadence - very noticeable and it's what made this song so much fun to listen to.

Good man. Replace Swift with real music.
Listening to Prince's "Trust".
