  1. Jimmy, I was going to include Across The Universe, but I got stuck on going with the sitar thing. I think it was the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the transendental meditation guy, that The Beatles hung out with. You know...The wave is the ocean and the ocean is the wave....I feel enlightend already!
  2. The Beatles had a few songs that have an Eastern feel to them. Norwegion Wood, Tomorrow Never Knows, Within You Without you. I am sure there are more, but those are all I can think of off the top of my head.
  3. In my haste to reply, I clicked the white album. I meant Let It Be.
  4. Did The Untouchables make it outside of the LA area? They were a Ska band that was pretty good, but I never really got into them. I think they were also in the movie "Repo Man."
  5. While not actually saying the word "baseball" the Simon and Garfunkel song "Mrs Robinson" mentions Joe DiMaggio, surely a baseball reference.
  6. I have heard two different stories, both involving clothing gold and black in color. One version is that he used to wear a pair of rugby shorts that were black and gold, making him look like a bee or wasp. The other version is the same, but replace the shorts with a jersey.
  7. It means "life out of balance" in Hopi. Are you referring to the movie by Godfrey Reggio? It is a trippy movie that shows a lot of time lapsed photography in both nature and urban environments. The soundtrack is by Philip Glass. Very Native American sounding.
  8. My favorite Bee Gee song is "More Than a Woman." The reason, though, is rather dubious. I used to think that when they were singing "more than a woman" they were singing "bald headed woman." I still sing it that way now.
  9. Is this it? You say I only hear what I want to You say I talk so all the time so And I thought what I felt was simple And I thought that I don't belong And now that I am leaving Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you Yeah yeah, I missed you You say I only hear what I want to: I don't listen hard, don't pay attention to the distance that you're running To anyone, anywhere I don't understand if you really care, I'm only hearing negative Know, know, know that So I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up (turn the radio) And this woman was singing my song: Lover's in love and the other's run away Lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was Dying since the day they were born Well, well, this is not that I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure You try to tell me that I'm clever That won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you You said that I was naive and I thought that I was strong I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave." Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you Yeah, I miss you You said, "You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go "You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'Cause you know you're just scared to lose And you say, "Stay." You say I only hear what I want to I think she is married to Paul Simon, too.
  10. I think there are three versions!, There is the album version from Super Black Market Clash that has different lyrics from the single version of the song that you can find on The Singles or The Clash On Broadway. The third verion was the "B" side to the Radio Clash extended play single. It is an instrumental version. The reason, I would guess, for the different versions could be that The Clash re-worked the song and liked the newer version, so it was released as a single.
  11. Are you asking us to do your homework???
  12. "Groove Is In The Heart" by Deee-Lite is the grooviest one hit wonder song. I love the video, too!
  13. I seem to remember buying a extended single version of "Radio Clash" in the early eighties. It sounds like this is what you are describing. If memory serves, the B side was an instrumental version of the same song.
  14. DS, how is Cutchie pronounced? Is it cut-chee? If the first syllable is pronounced coo, that would certainly have a different meaning (at least here in the US) and would have been more likely a Rick James song....
  15. I could have done without Pete Townshend's 1989 release, "The Iron Man." Since I am a huge fan of Townshend, I might have given this cd more of a chance than had it not been his. It never grew on me. Then again, my favorite solo projects are also Townshend's. "Empty Glass", "All the Best Cowboys Have Chineese Eyes", "White City" and even "PSYCHODERELICT" are often revisited.
  16. Up until recently, my wife thought the line "The bright blessed day, and the dark sacred night" from Louis Armstrong's song What A Wonderful World was "The bright blessed day, and the dogs say goodnight." There are others, but I cant think of them right now.
  17. My dad picked up a saying when he was in the Marine Corps that he would ask when he heard someone whistling (ok, it was me whistling): "There are only two kinds of people who whistle. Bosuns mates and a**holes. Which one are you?"
  18. "Sid & Nancy" "Colors" (I am not a big fan of rap, but I liked this album for some reason. Good to work out to.)
  19. You cant get too much more California sounding than The Beach Boys. I think the song you are looking for is "Do You Wanna Dance?" off of the 1965 album The Beach Boys Today. Do You Wanna Dance? Do you want to dance and hold my hand Tell me baby I'm your lover man Oh baby do you want to dance? Do you want to dance under the moonlight Hold me baby all through the night Oh baby Do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance under the moonlight Kiss me baby all through the night Oh baby Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance under the moonlight Squeeze me, squeeze me baby all through the night Oh baby Do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance? Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance Do you, do you, do you Do you want to dance The Ramones did a cool version, too.
  20. Rain Dogs and Closing Time are always in my car. The only guidline is that they must be played only in the early morning hours.
  21. My five month old daughter loves it when I sing that song to her for bed time!
  22. Marlon was a big supporter of The Dairy Board. This support was evidenced by his early pioneer work doing product placement in movies, starting with the glamorization of the use of butter in "Last Tango In Paris."
  23. "There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, Dim being really dim, and we sat in a Korova Milkbar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening." Remember the tables? Nagoy ptitsas on their rocks and feet, sherries to the floor, with glass over them. They spent a lot of time there enjoying vellocet moloko while planning how they would vred the yarbles of some pyahnitsa in a horrorshow display of ultraviolence. The slang used in the movie was based on Russian, some Gypsy, and rhyming.
