CanAm Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 My Mistake - The Kingbees (1980) I'd forgotten all about this song until I was rooting through my old albums the other day. Most of the songs on the LP are very good if you like rockabilly. The Loner - Neil Young (1969) This is a poor quality video of a concert Neil Young gave last year, however, it's the only video I could find.

cyberjudge Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I just came back from a book signing/musical performance by Peter Yarrow, who was signing copies of a children's book version of Puff the Magic Dragon. He also played about an hour of classic folk songs, including Leavin' on a Jet Plane, Where Have All the Flowers Gone, and for Puff, he had all the children including my 8-year-old son come up and sing it with him. So in honor of Peter I am nominating a song - and a group - which I cannot believe is not yet in the Top 10: Puff the Magic Dragon-Peter Paul & Mary (1963) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 ça plane pour moi - Plastic Bertrand La France sait comment "rock et roll"! Cool to hear the mid-60's Beach Boys influence on modern French rock. Very cool. If we accept that the term "rap music" derives from the 1950's beat term for talking to someone else, rapping, then it follows that this was the very first rap song: Old Rivers - Walter Brennan 1962 (even if you would never vote for it, this song is worth one listen to its moving end.) Free Ride - Edgar Winter Group 1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ich Bin Müde - Fettes Brot (2003) aka Fat Bread aka my favourite German band... Just the way it starts, how can you not love it instantly? Only Shallow - My Bloody Valentine (1991) Shoegaze! May not be to everybody's tastes but I appreciate people giving it a listen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Cool to hear the mid-60's Beach Boys influence on modern French rock. Very cool. Modern??? 1977 or thereabouts, I would wager. So, ummmm...30 years ago. Yikes! Doesn't time fly! Bizarrely enough, "Ca Plane Pour Moi" was marketed as "punk rock" at the time. Plastic (real name Roger Jouret) had previously been the drummer of a proper Belgian punk band (Hubble Bubble). Captain Sensible of The Damned recorded a song "Jet Boy Jet Girl" (as Captain Sensible & The Softies) which purloined the entire riff of this song, including the "Ooh ooh ooh ooh" motif. (see below) I'm fairly sure I've nominated "Ca Plane Pour Moi" before: don't think it scored highly that time: I suspect only I voted for it....but surely has a better chance this time around. Jet Boy, Jet Girl is a risqué song by Elton Motello about a 15-year-old boy's sexual relationship with another guy, who then rejects him for a girl. With its chorus of "ooh ooh ooh ooh, he gives me head," it has been embraced as something of a gay punk anthem. Elton Motello "2" : Alan Ward (real name Timms aka Alan Warst as sound engineer), vocals; Mike Butcher (aka Jet Staxx), guitar; Yves Kengen (aka Yke N. Raxola), bass; Nobby Goff (from Crawley, U.K., drums then replaced by Bertr' alias Roger Jouret and very well known as Plastic Bertrand. Elton Motello "1" : Brian James, gtr;(later of The Damned) Nobby Goff, drums; Alan Ward, vcls and Yves Kengen, bass. (fake group = no recordings issued) It has the same backing track as Plastic Bertrand's "Ça Plane Pour Moi" because after "jet Boy Jet Girl" was recorded, Bertrand used Motello's musicians to record his track. The producer and lyricist at RKM Publishing at the time deemed the original song's lyrics too controversial to be adapted, so Yvan Lacomblez created the stew of words that became 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' to the tune of 'Jet Boy Jet Girl.' Now, I never knew this before. Edited July 21, 2008 by Guest Add fruits of research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
