bazooka Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 The Robert Cray Band A few years back, I found this CD in a junk store -- without a jewel box, but otherwise pristine. That was, unquestionably, the very best fifty cents I've ever spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 That would be "The Function At The Junction" New question (three-parter): What is Terrence Butler's more commonly known nickname?

daslied Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Geezer, bass, Black Sabbath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 That would be "The Function At The Junction" Shorty Long's enunciation of "Ling Ting Tong from China" led to a number of unusual misinterpretations.

Tell `em `bout the function at the junction Tell `em that they'd better come on right now Tell `em `bout the function at the junction Tell `em that they'd better come on right now Oh the soul brothers, Jitterbugs Hip cats and fancy hats and Pretty girls with pretty smiles All decked out in the latest styles and Farmer Jim and Guitar Slim and Betty Boop and ooo-boop-e-doop and Mohair Sam from Alabam and Minnesota Fats from Hobo Flats Breath-takin' Hip-shakin' give it now Talkin' bout some fascinatin' demonstratin' They all be gathering here, from far and near for the Function at the Junction Brother, you'd better come on right now Tell `em `bout the function at the junction Sister, you'd better come on right now Talkin' `bout a function at the junction Everybody you'd better come on right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Only fair to mention The Five Keys' Ling Ting Tong I went to Chinatown 'way back in old Hong Kong To get some Egg Foo Yung And then I heard a gong Ling ting tong tried to sing that song Called Tie-ess-a mo-cum boo-die-ay Tie-ess-a mo-cum boo Ling ting tong, he would never be wrong Go on and sing your song, a-ling ting tong And I looked around The lights were going down And this is what I found A back in Chinatown Lots of gong, too.

bazooka Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thanks for the information, Joe! Shorty Long was no doubt referencing The Five Keys song. Most of my friends and I thought Shorty was saying something about ... well, never mind what I thought he was saying. -------------------------------- Sorry about the detour, sammy and das. New question (three-parter): What is Terrence Butler's more commonly known nickname? What instrument does he play? And for what band? Please carry on as if The Function had never happened.

OLD 55 Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Das is right with Geezer Butler of course. Can I put this one on as an experiment please? If you like it we might make it part of the New Quiz. Maybe I'll call it "Old Fiftionary". (Like Pictionary). What's the name of the song in the Pic below. (And it's NOT "Anyone For Tennis").

edna Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I guess "Naked in the Jungle" (Van Morrison) or "Naked" (Bon Jovi) would be much too obvious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
