Oldies that stick in your head...

The Turtles - Happy Together

I think I've only heard the song once.  All other times I felt compelled to sing along with it.  I just makes me feel happy.

@audiophileman It does have that infectious ’romp’ to it... *grin*

What became of two members of that group is what fascinates me...

The stint they did with F. Zappa is kinda branded into my brain, they seemed to be having too much fun considering how perfection-oriented Frank could be....

....and a later argument over having a mezzo-soprano singing

"Munchkins get me hot...." with Zubin Mehta, mere rumor or no....

...missed that, living in SF with quarterly returns to LA...

*sigh* Can’t be everywhere...

(More than one) different oldies at different times seem to occupy my head space.

Lately I have been substituting one of the nicknames I use for one of my dogs for the word "Dixie" in "the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." I’ve been doing the same thing with all three of my dogs names and nicknames with the word "Roland" in "Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner." Actually, for that song, I’ve been changing more words than just that.

Come to think of it, I don’t do it as often, but sometimes I do the same thing with Maxwell’s Silver Hammer. I sing the song using one of my dog’s nick names in place of Maxwell Edison. Actually I think it was that oldy with a previous dog (may he RIP) that got me started doing the same thing with my current three dogs using different oldies.

I like to chase down the brief snippets of the audihistory mine, a synapse flash that demands the rest of it....

a nice extended edit of.... This.....  with the lovely bowed base refrains in both.

The brash blast of guitars opening Something about not forgetting.....lasting long enough to not....

...too many synapse lay in wait....one can only be 'ware.... ;)
