Christie Laume - La Musique Et La Danse (1967)






Is this the first punk song?


Dani - "La machine" 1967




...Whatever, the lyrics are pretty insightful. Here's the english translation:

The two California themed songs eisenwurst posted made me think of a couple of other songs from California-based artists in the 60s that also had gifted female vocalists, specifically form the Laurel Canyon Scene. Laurel Canyon is a mountain pass connecting the Hollywood area of Los Angeles with the LA communities in the San Fernando Valley. THe southern end, in particular, with its proximity to the Sunset Strip and the general Hollywood scene, was very popular with a lot of the musicians in the 60s & 70s:

Laurel Canyon found itself a nexus of counterculture activity and attitudes in the mid-late 1960s and early 1970s, becoming famous as home to many of L.A.'s rock musicians, such as Frank Zappa; Jim Morrison of The Doors; Carole King; The Byrds; Buffalo Springfield; Canned Heat; John Mayall; members of the band The Eagles; the band Love; Neil Young; and Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork of The Monkees. Tork's home was considered one of Laurel Canyon's biggest party houses with all-night, drug-fueled sleepovers, well attended by the hippest musicians and movie stars of the era.

John Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas took inspiration from their home in Laurel Canyon for the song "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon), released in 1967.

In 1968, John Mayall recorded and released Blues from Laurel Canyon based on his experiences on a vacation earlier that year.

Famed photographer Henry Diltz was also a resident and used the scenic Canyon backdrop for many of his historic photos of rock musicians casually socializing. Several of his photos became iconic representations of the 1960s and 1970's West Coast music scene and many others became famous album sleeve covers (such as CSN's debut album: Crosby, Stills & Nash - photographed in nearby West Hollywood).

Joni Mitchell, living in the home in the Canyon that was immortalized in the song, "Our House" (1970), written by her then-lover Graham Nash, would use the area and its denizens as inspiration for her third album, Ladies of the Canyon (1970). Crosby, Stills, and Nash are reputed to have first sung together in her living room.

Musician Josh Tillman has said that his output under the moniker Father John Misty was partly inspired by a relocation to and personal reinvention in Laurel Canyon. The song "I Went to the Store One Day," from his 2015 album I Love You, Honeybear, recounts the story of how Tillman met his wife, Emma, in the parking lot of the Laurel Canyon Country Store.

Prior to the occupation of the canyon by musicians, the area had been the home to a large number of celebrities and movie stars from the 20s to the late 50s; many old mansions existed til recent decades that were owned by the ikes of Errol Flyn, Houdini, Boris Karloff, and others; I actually got to go to the Flynn mansion (or what was left of it: it had been subdivided into smaller units) when a bartender from the Whisky invited me over to her place in the mansion after closing time; Flynn's place was known as a party house back in the day and she showed me some of the little secret places from which Flynn would reportedly spy on his guest's raunchier activities...







...and a song Graham Nash wrote about the house he and Joni lived in when they were still romantically involved:

Trouble is you go to buy some grapes at the supermarket ( all of them!!! ) and all the grapes are imported from California. Where's our bloody grapes.... in China, Korea, and Japan.

Ach, n-nein, bitte!

In all seriousness though, I consider myself a rather vehement anti-Nazi. Die Weimarer Republik-zeiten waren so wundervoll für Deutsche Kunst und Wissenschaft... if only it had persisted.
