[smaller]Private Oscillators for 600[/smaller] First active from 1967 to 1970, this pioneering Electronic music duo featured a unique ‘synthesizer’ designed and fabricated by, and named for the guy who plays it.

Who is The Soft Machine ?

Just one comment/suggestion about Songplaces (and Songfacts too I think): Songs beginning worth the word "The" are listed under the letter T. ([smaller]The Wall Street Shuffle ,The Blue Danube ,The Girl From Ipanema , etc.[/smaller]) Might it work better to alphabetize songs without the "The" (like in Top Ten Nominations style) ?

1. Hard Pill To Swallow - Keef Hartley Band 2. Another Useless Day - Heads Hands & Feet 3. Shoorah Shoorah - Betty Wright 4. Have You Seen Her Face - The Byrds 5. Word Up! - Cameo 6. The Shock of the Lightning - Oasis 7. Sister Europe - Psychedelic Furs 8. Allison Road - Gin Blossoms 9. Forty Days and Forty Nights - Muddy Waters 10. Where Are We Runnin'? - Lenny Kravitz

Great! Two of my favorite originals are Don Covay's Mercy Mercy and the Valentinos' It's All over Now. Glad to see that you removed Wild Horses as a cover in this update.

Good Vibrations '50s Style

[big] Got it, edna![/big] Think I overdid it trying to make that one tricky. [smaller]from Good Vibratioms - Wikipedia :[/smaller] " Wilson recounted the genesis of the title Good Vibrations in his 1995 biopic, I Just Wasn't Made for These Times, and at other times. When he was a child, his mother told him that dogs could pick up 'vibrations' from people, so that the dog would bark at 'bad vibrations'. Wilson turned this into the general idea of vibrations (and Mike Love putting 'good' in front of vibrations), and developed the idea of people being able to do the same with emotions."

No No No No! Bad Dogs! Let's try a revised Jeopardy! answer: [smaller]A Boy and His Dogma for 800[/smaller] His mother told him that dogs could pick up signals from people, so that the dog would bark at the "bad" resonances. In this song, the composer expanded that general concept into the idea of people being able to do the same with positive emotions.

Why did the Irish astronaut decline an assignment on the International Space Station? ----- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

You cats aren't even in the right dog park. In fairness, the title does not deal directly with dogs, but rather with the terminology[big]*[/big] the composer/co-writer had heard from his mom when he was a child. [big]*[/big]Meaning "intuitive signal about a person or thing" was popular late 1960s, but has been recorded as far back as 1899. _[smaller]Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper[/smaller]

You're barking up the wrong tree with those titles, Dawg. This has to do with how Mama described the inadvertant emotional signals humans give to animals. The term is in much wider use today, most likely due directly to this song. There's a roundabout hint, edna. I don't want to lay it in your lap.

[big]That's it, Brad![/big] [smaller]Nirvana covered the song years later in their Live at Reading performance.[/smaller]

Wow, that's even closer! I was tempted to give it to you, but let's see if you Will get it just Right.

Double nope.

To me, just a sincere effort would qualify. The way independent music is distributed online nowadays, most younger folks probably have stuff that hasn't hit far and wide yet. And for the older farts like bazooka (who became teen-aged in 1962), it's a cinch to find something from just the vast numbers of tunes they can (hopefully) still remember.

Nope.

Brad lassoed another one! The title is pretty close, but check your tense. And I have to confess I'm ignorant of A.B.'s repertoire.

[smaller]K-9 With A Bullet for 400[/smaller] The concept and title for this mid-1960s hit single originated with something the composer/producer's mother had said about dogs.
