Members GAS Man Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 I remember this one from the mid 60s. I think it was my first 45 I guess it's a combination of Doo Wop and rock and roll with surf music influences [video=youtube;veSLdNos7q8] [video=youtube;fruHQhNe-UM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fruHQhNe-UM I could go on, but I'll leave some of the other obvious zanies for others to post.

Members Kuz929 Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think the "oldest" song I can remember digging was this one: [video=youtube;TCeD_6Y3GQc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCeD_6Y3GQc my first album was The Beach Boys Endless Summer. it was a greatest hits CD my dad's friend got for me when I was about 5 or 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gdsmithtx Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" by Steely Dan, a bouncy, Caribbean-inflected little groove, with words about the jolly neighborhood pedophile and his nefarious plans for the kiddies. [video=youtube;qf81ZxINQkQ] Kids if you want some funMr. LaPage is your manHe's always laughing, having funShowing his films in the denCome on, come onSoon you will be eighteenI think you know what I meanDon't tell your mamaYour daddy or mamaThey'll never know where you beenCHORUS:Everyone's gone to the moviesNow we're alone at lastListen to what I sayHe wants to show you the wayRight down the hallway with open armsTo teach you a new game to playCome on, come onSoon it will be too lateBobbing for apples can waitWe know you're used to sixteen or moreSorry we only have eightCHORUSKids if you want some funSee what you never have seenTake off your cheaters and sit right downStart the projection machineCHORUS Now that's quirky, y'all.

Members GAS Man Posted February 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think the "oldest" song I can remember digging was this one: my first album was The Beach Boys Endless Summer. it was a greatest hits CD my dad's friend got for me when I was about 5 or 6 I think it's an interesting tune and also one of my personal faves of theirs. I often think it's a bit funny that it is often show-cased as a '60s psychedelia song, since it was fairly tame compared to songs like "White Rabbit", but it is definitely noteworthy for its popularity AND use of a tannerin.

Members DaveAronow Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 I like funny, quirky, zaney as much as the next cat. Hell probably even more. Just look at me I'm a cat that looks like a clown. But that is no reason the music itself can't be badass. I got two words for you. Jerry Reed. Natural born ham. Natural born great musical talent. I write this as I'm sitting here watching Water boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 We didn't have much guitar music in the house when I was little. The Ventures Walk, Don't Run and a couple Sandy Nelson albums. Pretty sure this was the first song I ever learned by ear... on my Teisco with two strings.

Members Surrealistic Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 Not sure whether this one made it across the ocean to the States. I'm sure it didn't deserve to. From reading up just now on Wiki I see it failed to chart even here in England, but it was definitely on the radio when I was about 8 years old, and I loved it. mD3PeYji9Ew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
