One of her favorite songs was "Look Out There's A Monster Coming!". The Scots actor-comedian Craig Ferguson had a late night show on US TV and would occasionally open the show with a lip sync-mime rendition of songs he particularly liked. Here is his production of "Look Out There's A Monster Coming!": Look Out There's A Monster Coming! - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band (with an assist from Craig Ferguson) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaMBlMjNwfE Really, really like the horn section!... This is a BBC documentary on the leading force behind the Bonzos, Viv Stanshall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP987mljouI I have mentioned before during the mid to late 70s I worked in a Rock club in Hollywood. One of my positions there was as a DJ. The club was all ages and there were quite a few of the teen set and they were mad for glam rock (see, you aren't the only one, Jim) and they were particularly keen on one particular song, wanting it played over and over again. It got to the point where I either hide or discard the single; the little buggers would just go down the street to the 24 hour music store and buy another copy for the club. To this day, I do believe that store owes me some sort of royalty for all the additional business. I heard this song so many times, I got very sick of it and it took many, many years before I could bear to hear it in its entirety... The Sweet - Ballroom Blitz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_jdiU47bFA When I have told others over the years about the whole "Ballroom Blitz" incident, some have said I was unnecessarily cruel to try to deprive the kids of their music; I claim it was justifiable discocide. If I should ever acquiesce to allowing a funeral upon my demise, I will want this song played, and in this version, preferably with the showing of the accompanying video :D : Sid Vicious - My Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HD0eb0tDjIk <O> |
Very entertaining post, vienna... the Gorilla album was always a treat to listen to and I mentioned another favourite track previously: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=536
Viv Stanshall must've been most interesting to know. As for 'Glam Rock', the video often accompanying that Sweet thing used to make my flesh crawl. I was instead big into Roxy Music back then and this was a favourite track: Virginia Plain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDULlMa8Hxc |

One of the so-called War Symphonies by this magnificent composer, seen here enjoying a concert with fans... |
Another song and artist I first became aware of via underground FM radio and import record shops. One of my all time favorites combining a sort of talking blues with a 60s-70s Brit blues/R&B:
Long John Baldry - Don't Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of Rock And Roll (1971) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj_lZ4hkJd8 I knew someone once who sang a version of this song in the voice and style of Elvis; still a disturbing memory... <O> |
