Reminds me of the story about France Gall singing Serge Gainsbourg's song "Les sucettes":

http://www.readysteadygirls.eu/#/francegall/4520814766
"Gainsbourg was well known for the erotic subtexts of his songs, and his composition Les sucettes, ostensibly a song about a girl who enjoyed sucking lollipops, was a masterpiece of double entendre that was clear to everyone – except Gall, that is. She is reported to have gone into hiding when she realised."

Yes Marc, that Melanie (last name: Safka.) She did explain that she wrote Brand New Key when she was 16 and has been singing it for over 40 years now. It was her opening number.

Edwards was himself (I have seen him many times as he played clubs in this area for many years many years ago), Badfinger was a bore, the Turtles are always fun and were in great voice, it has been 39 years since I heard Jack Bruce and it sounded like yesterday (although the guitar was not Clapton this time), and Eric Burdon was the highlight of the evening (and the show closer.)

I mean, what is all this filth doing on the airwaves?

Is that all you people think about? Sex!?

Oh, and yes, don't try to tell me "Winchester Cathedral" is not all about sex! I am on to you perverts!

That better be a ring you are placing on her finger, Mister!!!

it's a balm on my heart to see such refreshing innocence. donnageddon, don't you ever change. if more people thought like you, the world would not be in the sorry state it's in, let me tell you.

(remind me never ever to let you hear any songs by the french band "haine et ses amours". you might never recover.)

"erotic subtexts" ? why "sub" ?? gainsbourg did have a few songs with erotic subtexts, sure, but most of the time the erotism is walking around right there on the surface without a towel.

hilarious story though. i imagine old serge thought so too...

I'm listening to a cricket outside the window. Thank goodness he's outside and on the opposite side of the building from my bedroom.

they're alive, they're awake
while the rest of the world is asleep
below the mine shaft roads
it will all unfold
there's a world going on
Underground

In honor of the return of Marc's monkey mask (and beanie) I am listening to the Monkees' song, That Was Then, This Is Now

"Reflections" by Diana Ross
It always reminds me of the tv show "China Beach"

Also eavesdropping on co-workers' phone conversations, which they just love to blast their mouths at top volume. Office shrums?
