"Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow," in particular, is 2:25 of pure and unintended genius.

Not to dispute what you were getting at...I suppose I should have said up front what I meant. I have been a HUGE Ramones fan since the first time I saw them....in 1978. I saw them 12 times. I suppose it`s an acquired taste. It wasn`t about surf music for me....although I did enjoy a fair amount of that particular genre it wasn`t about surf music...it was about The Ramones.

I am sorry music wench for throwing in Don Ho. I just could not resist. You are from Hawaii, I am Utah. Hawaii has Don Ho, Utah has The Osmonds. We all have our cross to bare. Be well.

I don't think I was clear either. It's not about surf music for me either. The Trashmen's version of "Surfin' Bird" has nothing to do with surfing. The Trashmen were from Minnesota -- about as land-locked as you can be. And the song makes no reference to surfing whatsoever, except its title -- which was a trashy attempt to catch the wave of a current trend. The point I was trying to make is about out-of-control chaotic energy. And don't get me wrong, I've liked the Ramones since the 70s. But IMHO, the Ramones remake is tame compared to the Trashmen's over-the-top version.

Hey, Don Ho is okay by me. And when I was 11 or 12 I loved the Osmonds so....

Spencer Davis Group is a great choice. Keep un Running was a good song that I have not heard in many years. I just may have to check into them again. Thanks

Two groups from the sixties I really love and are all but forgotten...The Insect Trust and The Incredible String Band...The Incredible String Band were a unique blend of British Folk and Psychedelia, as their name says, their talents with a various stringed instruments is truly Incredible, The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter is a great place to start exploring this band...The Insect Trust put out 2 great LP's in the late 60's, the self titled 1st LP and Hoboken Saturday Night, their sound was a mixture of Psych, Folk and many jazzy elements, they also had one of the best female singers of the era, Nancy Jefferies...Try and check out these great groups if you are looking for music that expaned the bountries of rock music in the 60's...

I have both the Insect Trust albums. Have not heard the Incredible String Band. Heard their name but not their music.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter is one of my favorite albums of the 60s.

Although it's not concidered one of The Incredible String Bands better LP's, I really like Wee Tam...You Get Brighter is a great tune

Help! Since I posted this, I can get The Minotaur's Song out of my head!:


The Minotaur's Song

Straight from the shoulder
I think like a soldier
I know what's right and what's wrong
He knows what's right and what's wrong.

I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
And I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
He'll do what's wrong as long as he can

I live in a labyrinth under the sea
Down in the dark as dark as can be
I like the dark as dark as can be
He likes the dark as dark as can be

I'll even attack you or eat you whole
Down in the dark my bone mills roll
Porridge for my porridge bowl
Porridge for his porridge bowl

I'm strong as the earth from which I'm born
He's strong as the earth from which he's born
I can't dream well because of my horns
He can't dream well because of his horns

Moo

I'm strong as the earth from which I'm born
He's strong as the earth from which he's born
I can't dream well because of my horns
He can't dream well because of his horns

A minotaur gets very sore
His features they are such a bore
His habits are predicta-bull
Aggressively relia-bull, bull, bull

I'm strong as the earth from which I'm born
He's strong as the earth from which he's born
I can't dream well because of my horns
He can't dream well because of his horns

I'm the original discriminating buffalo man
And I'll do what's wrong as long as I can
He'll do what's wrong as long as he can

Download "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaaa!" and play it five times. That should take care of your problem...or perhaps present you with a much worse problem!

Thanks, Rev. Just the thought of that cured me!

While certainly not obscure, I don't think I've ever heard anyone on this board mention Procul Harem. What do folks think of them?

Except for Whiter Shade of Pale, I never really got into Procul Harem. No idea why, just one of those bands that slipped through the cracks with me.
