miamisammy29 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Eureka! I think I've solved your very elusive riddle, my fine Aussie friend. Is the longest pause for breath in the song, "Fresh Air (Have Another Hit)" by Quicksilver Messenger Service? I figured out the song, but it took me a lot longer to remember who sang it.

Uncle Joe Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Novelty song then eh? Colonel Custer by Larry Verne? Hot Rod Lincoln-Commando Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen? Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette-Commando Cody, etc.? Walking My Cat Named Dog-Norma Tanega?

miamisammy29 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 MUSICAL INTERLUDE: "He's free as the breeze, He's always at ease He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees As he swings through the trees without a trapeze In his B.V.D.'s He's got a union card and he's practicing hard To play the guitar Gonna be a big star, yeah, he's gonna go far And carry moonbeams home in a jar He ordered Chet's Guitar course C.O.D. Makes "A" and "E" and he's working on "B" Digs C&W and R&B And me and the chimpanzee agree that one day soon he will be a celebrity Git it, git it, git it, git it...OW! Gitarzan, he's a guitar man He's all you can stand Give him a hand, Gitarzan Ahhh-Ahhhhhhh-Ahhhhhhhh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Do you mean Fresh Air? That' wasn't a novelty song, Sammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi all. Sammy, I don't know "Fresh Air (Have Another Hit)" by Quicksilver Messenger Service. I'll try to download it and have a listen to it. I thought they were a 70s Band? But you forgot I stipulated it was a Top 10 Hit. At least you did give me one by a ROCK group. Uncle, you wouldn't believe that you could miss it with a list that long, BUT....... :: LET'S LOOK AT THE QUESTION AGAIN - WHICH 1960s (NOVELTY/ ROCK) TOP 10 SONG HAS THE LONGEST PAUSE FOR BREATH??? and which Artist/Group sang it * 1960s * BIG Hit * NOVELTY * ROCK (sort of, call it Garage Rock) * Very few lyrics/none that make sense, * Clues in previous Posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Good try Laurie, but this song makes Louie,Louie sound like a Ballad! I just went into another thread of mine where I spent about an hour on a couple of posts yesterday, to find that they've both been wiped when the Time was reset there. :: Where is everybody? I think the Site is functioning OK now? This question isn't as tough as it sounds. I gave a hint when I made a comment on someone's post yeterday - right genre/right period of the 60s.

OLD 55 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Could it be "Surfin' Bird" by the Trashmen? DAH! DAH! SURE IS SWLRBA! WELL DONE. You deserved that, because you went close with "WIPEOUT" before. 5 Points to you, 2 to Uncle for the pause in "Teddy Bear"/Elvis and 1 to all who participated.Thank you all.

swlabr Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Wow - it just goes to show that sometimes your first guess is the right answer. I thought of "Surfin' Bird" last night but I thought for some reason it was from the 70's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Good on you Lisa. It was in 1963, the same year as "Wipeout". I think everyone who knows the song will agree the words aren't too mentally challenging to learn! NEW QUESTION Smokey Robinson originally wrote this song in the 60s to be recorded by his Group, "The Miracles". Another group begged him to let them use it. He did, and it became a BIG hit. What do you think the song was, and who was the Group he gave it to? :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLD 55 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 HOW DID YOU THINK OF THAT STRAIGHT AWAY! CONGRATULATIONS SWALBR! Right Place, Right Time. And you MUST have known it - you wouldn't even have time to Google it? I'll update the points later. NOW, here's another NEW QUESTION Which famous Singer/Songwriter (plenty to choose from) wrote a song about his Producer's secretary? (Well, not really ABOUT her, but using her name as the basis of the song). I hope that one lasts a bit longer so I can eat my lunch. Good Luck!

swlabr Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I saw a movie of the Temptation's career on VH1 last year and i remembered the part where Smokey gave the song to the Temps. I believe that someone said that the intros to "My Girl" and to "Satisfaction" were the best known in the world. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swlabr Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I'm guessing Buddy Holly because he changed the name to "Peggy Sue" from Cindy Lou or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLD 55 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Good guess, but a bit LATER than that. This Producer used to ring the artist with suggestions for new songs, and he thought his (female) Secretary's name would sound good in a song. It did, and the song became a big Hit in more than one genre (a small clue).

OLD 55 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 R.B.Greaves (Sam Cooke's nephew). Not that one, but a great effort to get those other 2 questions. Goodnight Lisa.
