  1. Lets try something else.... we need a beatnik or 2 to join this thread... it was " the Ballad of the Thresher" by the Kingston Trio...

    It's the same kind of story

    That seems to come down from long ago

    Two friends having coffee together

    When something flies by their window

    It might be out on that lawn

    Which is wide, at least half of a playing field

    Because there's no explaining what your imagination

    Can make you see and feel

    Seems like a dream.....................

  2. B-sides are like album cuts. If they didn't get airplay, it's not really fair to post them. (Some B-sides were well-played, of course. "Rain" (B-side of "Paperback Writer") comes to mind.) I don't think I've ever heard this one's A-side, though.

    George

    This "B" side was one of those not unlike these "b" side hits

    ABBA: "Eagle" / "Thank You for the Music"

    Jimmy Dean: "I Won't Go Huntin' With You Jake" / "Big Bad John"

    The Who: "Dogs" / "Call me Lightning"

    Deee-Lite: "What Is Love?" / "Groove Is in the Heart"

    Frankie Ford: "Roberta" / "Sea Cruise"

    Bob Lind: "Cheryl's Goin' Home" / "Elusive Butterfly"

    Madonna: "Angel" / "Into the Groove"

    Pink Floyd: "Point Me at the Sky" / "Careful with That Axe, Eugene"

    Righteous Brothers: "Stuck on You" / "Unchained Melody"

    Rod Stewart: "Reason to Believe" / "Maggie May"

    The Stone Roses: "What the World Is Waiting For" / "Fools Gold"

    Gene Vincent: "Woman Love" / "Be-Bop-A-Lula"

    the Five Satins: "The Jones Girl" / "In the Still Of the Nite"

    Bobbie Gentry: "Mississippi Delta" / "Ode To Billie Joe"

    U2: "A Celebration" / "Trash, Trampoline and the Party Girl" (also known as "Party Girl")

    Queen: "We Are the Champions" / "We Will Rock You" (usually played by radio stations as one song)

    Robbie Williams: Eternity/Road to Mandalay

    The Beatles: "Penny Lane" / "Strawberry Fields Forever"

    Cream: "Strange Brew" / "Tales of Brave Ulysses"

    Carole King: "It's Too Late" / "I Feel the Earth Move"

    Fats Domino: "I Wanna Walk You Home" / "Walking to New Orleans"

    Elvis Presley: "Don't Be Cruel" / "Hound Dog"

    Kiss: "Detroit Rock City" / "Beth"

    Paula Abdul: "Straight Up" / "Cold Hearted"

    Daddy Cool: "Eagle Rock" / "Bom Bom"

    Deftones: "Pink Maggit" / "Back to School (Mini Maggit)"

    The one that I posted got so much Air play is 1963 that it was placed at location A-1 on the groups subsequent Album. In fact nearly 45 years later you can still hear it played daily at the Permanent Exhibit of SSN-593 at the Smithsonian.

  3. A Les Paul for Fathers' Day!!! :eusa_clap:

    Come on over to Guitar Talk and tell us about it.

    Still thinking on the lyrics you posted. Sounds familiar.

    I can't give any more clues using lyrics as they would include the title...but the original "A" side was a tune called "Desert Pete."

  4. Actually, DEPP+ RICES + the price is. I wouldn't use Depp just for "the."

    I don't recognize wasway's guitarist, but I'm going to guess "TJ Hooker" for the show.

    George

    The Guitar Player would be Chicago Blues Great John Lee Hooker

    TJ Hooker is correct :eusa_clap::eusa_clap: GSG :eusa_clap::eusa_clap:

  5. It was , indeed, The Buckinghams but it was not "Kind Of A Drag."

    Here's more info.

    It was originally recorded by Cannonball Adderley a year before the Buckinghams had a hit with it.

    Your right, of course it was Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (have mercy on me) I was singing it while I posted the answer... just not thinking right... :offtopic: got a Les Paul for Fathers day still not thinkin' straight :biglaugh::confused:

  6. LOS ANGELES (AP) - Bob Barker endorsed his friend Rosie O'Donnell as a possible successor on "The Price Is Right," although the newly retired host isn't sure CBS wants a woman to take over the game show.

    "I believe they're going to have a meeting with Rosie," Barker said backstage Friday night at the Daytime Emmy Awards, where he won his 19th trophy.

    "She knows the show," he said. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know. I've never heard that discussed. As far as I know, they've only auditioned men."

    Barker said his friendship with O'Donnell goes back several years, when she had him as a guest on her old daytime talk show.

    "She told me she loved `The Price Is Right' and wanted to host it one day," he recalled.

    Among those mentioned as possible replacement hosts have been Todd Newton of the E! network, Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight," George Hamilton and John O'Hurley.

    Barker retired last week at age 83 after 35 years of giving away vacations and cars on the hit CBS game show. But he said he may be back with some specials featuring vintage clips and guests.

    "If it works out, I'd like to do that," he said.

    OOPS :asdf::asdf: wrong thread :who_me:

  7. Kind of a Drag The buckinghams

    Here is a obscure little B-side tune from around the same time frame.

    Oh, their wives and their sweethearts came down to port their last fond good-byes there to say.

    Each tried her best to be tearless and brave. They promised to meet there some day.

    Ev'ry man jack on board was a hero. Ev'ry man jack on board there was brave.

    Ev'ry man jack on board was a hero. Each man risked a watery grave

    Then "Dive," said the Captain and we held our breath. A sound like she'd broken in two.

    That was the last we ever heard of her. Last word we had of her crew.
