Post A Blast From The Past

[bayoubill]

I was just remembering this song, which was my favorite tune back in the Summer of '66.

I was 14 years old at the time...

(geez, has it really been 42 years?!)

Anyway, here it is, "Dirty Water" by The Standells

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5apEctKwiD8

... practically wore out the 45 playing it over and over again on a cheap record player.

(Any youngsters in here who don't know what a 45 is?)

Cool song Mr. Bill

[CID_0687]

So age 14, or maybe 15...here ya go

[bayoubill]

Cool song Mr. Bill


ty, Drew. I'm really glad you liked it. :hug:

Here's another tune from that same Summer, one that I really liked and that I was reminded of by karenhoney's thread:

"Walk Away Renee" by the Left Banke

Yeah, I like that one...I've heard it before, but that was the first time I've heard the other one...funny how they ALL had the same haircut back then...everyone wanted to be Ringo

[bayoubill]

Cool song, El CID!

I remember it, but I never knew what the name of it was or who it was by. Thanks for hooking me up.

Funny about that 14-15 thing...

My grown daughter, who now has two children of her own, was about that same age when this song was first out.

[bayoubill]

Yeah, I like that one...I've heard it before, but that was the first time I've heard the other one...funny how they ALL had the same haircut back then...everyone wanted to be Ringo


Nah... everyone wanted to be John,


and have Ringo for a household pet.

That's one of the few bands from my generation that I actually like...Here's another...Pearl Jam...I've lost respect for Eddie Vedder with his political ****...but this is still a good song.

Changing things up a bit...

Here's a tune I grooved to when I was an electrician wiring houses back in the seventy's:

"A Real Mother For Ya" by Johnny 'Guitar' Watson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm6pfpV-tt0&feature=related

Funny thing... at the end of the song he mentions "low lead"... anybody youngsters in here have any idea what "low lead" is (or rather, was)?

[CID_0687]

And while I'm listening to that...here's the very first music video I remember watching when I was 7 years old...I remember because even at 7 I coudn't believe how hot the chick in the video was.

Sorry, Drew, but this tune doesn't work for me.

Funny how Pearl Jam sounds sorta like Stone Temple Pilots, only not as good, IMHO.

Here's a tune I like that, until I looked it up just now, I thought was by the same group:

"Glycerine" by Bush

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4jLHxbX3NA

That's the thing about Pearl Jam...typically you either love 'em or hate 'em..there's really no in between...

Glycerine IMHO is one of the top 3 best songs of the 90s

Here's one from your era Bill...Smokey Robinson and the Miracles

[bayoubill]

Hey Drew, you want a smokin' song with hot chicks?

This video practically qualifies as soft porn.

"Gett Off" by Prince and the New Power Generation

My "Era"?!

Why you whippersnapper... I'll... I'll... ... what were we talking about again?

Oh yeah, the Miracles.

I liked the way the Beatles did that tune better.

Here's some of my favorite Miracles tunes (especially the last one):

"My Girl"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbAaLdLguLo&feature=related

"Aint Too Proud To Beg"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfyFI-4ZsaE&feature=related

"Just My Imagination"

[bayoubill]

So age 14, or maybe 15...here ya go

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2xNyxc5VWs&feature=related


I just remembered something about this song...

Whenever I heard it, it aways reminded me of my now-ex wife.

Seemed like dogs were always coming up to her and sticking their muzzles in her crotch.

(I'll admit she was such a hot babe that even the dogs could pick up on it.)

[bayoubill]

Just remembered a song from the 90's that made an impression on me...

"Closer" by Nine Inch Nails

I remember seeming the video for this years ago on TV... It was pretty intense and graphic, but it must have been a cleaned up version, otherwise it wouldn't have been on TV... the one I just found on youtube is absolutely obscene, and would get me busted if I posted the link.

If you want to see it, you know how to find it.

I was just remembering this song, which was my favorite tune back in the Summer of '66.

I was 14 years old at the time...

(geez, has it really been 42 years?!)

(Any youngsters in here who don't know what a 45 is?)

Dirty Water is a Red Sox theme song.:lol:

So many music memories.

I remember my sweet Mom singing "You are the Sunshine of my Life" to me. She later gave my son a stuffed turtle that when wound also played that tune. We still have it and it still plays that tune. So whenever I hear that song I think of my Mom and my son as a baby.

I am too young to have a blast from my past :neutral:

However (and excuse me, I cannot post youtube links from work) I was telling TC one day last summer about how the first tape that I ever bought for myself was my Another Bad Creation tape. He then downloaded a cd with a bunch of their songs on it.....goodness I love that man :))


Anyways...does anybody remember Another Bad Creation? They were part of the East Coast Family with Bel Biv Devoe and Boyz II Men. The group was made up of around 7 little boys, and they had songs such as Playground, Aiesha, and Jealous Girl.

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

ABC came out around the same time as Kriss Kross, during my junior high days. We all thought it was pretty cool that kids our age were on the radio. Doesn't really hold up too well as time goes on, but it was cute and fluffy.

Oh my god...I'm not a fan of Faith Hill music (though as country music goes it's more acceptable than most)...she was just the first country artist to pop into my head, and I was trying to put up a representative of more than one music type.

And she's still hot.

Okay, here it is, the greatest rock song of all time:

I still remember where I was the first time I heard it.

Summer of 1965.

I was 13 years old.

I was waiting in line to get into the municipal swimming pool when this came on the jukebox in the park pavillion.

Changed my life. (I'd been a big Supremes fan before this.)

I've never been the same since.

Sonny Turner comes here just about every year on vacation. I was at a barbecue with him last summer, and he sang "Only You" a cappella. He's a great guy. His record label kinda screwed him over, like a lot of those Motown singers.

I was just remembering this song, which was my favorite tune back in the Summer of '66.

I was 14 years old at the time...

(geez, has it really been 42 years?!)

Anyway, here it is, "Dirty Water" by The Standells

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5apEctKwiD8

... practically wore out the 45 playing it over and over again on a cheap record player.

I still remember where I was the first time I heard it.

Summer of 1965.

I was 13 years old.

I was waiting in line to get into the municipal swimming pool when this came on the jukebox in the park pavillion.

Changed my life. (I'd been a big Supremes fan before this.)

I've never been the same since.

Yep. Best ever.

[karenhoney]

I don't remember exactly what year this oldie (but goodie!) was released, but I do remember that it shot straight up to #1 on the charts....and it stayed there for several weeks. It also became the #1 song of that entire year (whatever year that was....).

Anyway, up until this song came out, I didn't listen to 'secular' music much. I only listened to Christian music, and I never listened to rock and roll - Christian or otherwise. BUT, then I heard this song, and it changed my way of thinking, forever!!!!

Now, I realize that a whole lot of you, especially the guys, are probably going to say this song isn't anything special...some of you may even say the song sucks, or something like that. Well, we all have a right to our own opinions, so all I can say to those folks is 'I'm sorry, I hope you can suffer through it just this one more time...thanks for being tolerant with me'! But, hopefully, there are also others out there who were in school, as I was, during this song's time in life, and it will bring up as many wonderful memories for you as it did for me.

We got the beat.

I was just remembering this song, which was my favorite tune back in the Summer of '66.

I was 14 years old at the time...

Anyway, here it is, "Dirty Water" by The Standells

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5apEctKwiD8

... practically wore out the 45 playing it over and over again on a cheap record player.

(Any youngsters in here who don't know what a 45 is?)


Yeah its the M1911A1 my favorite

45 auto and I can hit a fly's ass at 50 yards with one.. :mrgreen:

The Stones did covers of all three of those. Shows you what they think of Smokey as a songwriter. Smokey Rocks! And so does his gumbo.

Read an interview with Dylan a few years back. He thinks Smokey is one of the greatest American poets ever. Anyone gonna argue with Bob? I thought not.
