The perfect single.  Three or four minutes of pop music perfection.  Does it exist?  I think it does, and in some obvious and not-so-obvious places:  Opening the show:   Jerry Lee Lewis, " High School Confidential ," 1958.  I once used this in a short documentary.  Sorry, Jerry Lee. Loggins & Messina, " Your Mama Don't Dance ," 1971.  Where's Jim Messina now? The Drifters, " Fools Fall In Love ," 1958.  Great record from the early Drifters, one of many they put out. The Romantics, " What I Like About You ," 1980.  Trivia:  name their only other major hit.  Real trivia:  name the only other chart record from this record. Shameless promo for  The Lee Show .  Go listen.   The Ides Of March, " Vehicle ," 1970.  Their only hit.  What a shame... that brass section could have toppled the Berlin Wall.  Rhino has recently put out a fabulously-expensive but better reissue of their early Warner Bros. material, but this link is a cheaper alternative. Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, " Hot Rod Lincoln ," 1971.  If you're curious, go find a record by  Ramblin' Jimmie Dolan  called "Hot Rod Race," from around 1953. The Guess Who, " Undun ," 1969.  Just about the perfect single. Sorry for the delay in getting this episode up... life goes on. Click here for the MP3 file   (21.1 megabytes, 36:00 duration).

I am a fanatic for original recordings.  Here, we indulge my fanaticism and bring you original versions of songs that you thought... "hey, I thought  that  was the original!" Opening the show:   Stevie Ray Vaughn, " Texas Flood ," 1983.  The best-known version of this blues classic, but not the best.  That honor belongs to the man who wrote it...  Larry Davis and His Band , "Texas Flood," 1958.  A classic slow blues showcase, you can hear where SRV lifted some of his solos from.  Stevie always acknowledged Larry Davis as an influence, and Davis actually outlived Stevie Ray.  Peggy Lee, " Fever ," 1958.  The best-known version of this as well, but it somehow has a sheen on it that the original doesn't have... and doesn't need.  Little Willie John, " Fever ," 1956.  He was 19 years old when this record came out, and lived only to age 30, dying in prison in 1968 after a 1964 manslaughter conviction.  He recorded scores of other singles, almost all R'n'B classics.  The Kingsmen, " Louie, Louie ," 1964.  Not sure what can be said about this that hasn't already been said, except that it's certainly not an original.  Even the Kingsmen's version was lifted from another Seattle-area band.  Richard Berry and the Pharaohs, " Louie, Louie ," 1956.  The original  intelligible  lyrics are pretty innocuous, almost a calypso.  If you click the link for either the Kingsmen or Richard Berry, it takes you to the same amazing compilation of some great versions of the song over the years.  The Beatles, " Money (That's What I Want) ," 1963.  The Beatles spent a lot of time on their early records covering recent American R'n'B hits, including this LP,  With The Beatles , from November, 1963.  This was one of those covers, but the vocals lack the punch of the original...  Barrett Strong, "Money ( That's What I Want )," 1959.  This is the version used in  Animal House , in the background during one of the scenes when the Delta House boys are tearing around Faber in that black Lincoln Continental.  The only hit Barrett ever recorded, though he co-wrote several other Motown hits over the years, including "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone" for The Temptations.   And that ain't right...   The Flying Lizards, " Money (That's What I Want) ," 1979.  Don't ask, don't tell.  A UK minimalist/new wave band that released few albums and are most likely remembered for this cover.  This version was used in  The Wedding Singer  and once appeared on a compilation called  We Do 'Em Our Way ,  now long out of print, featuring punk and new-wave bands covering well-known songs, such as The Stranglers' cover of Burt Bacharach's "Walk On By."  One other I remember:  DEVO's cover of The Stones' "Satisfaction."  Led Zeppelin, " When The Levee Breaks ," 1971.  Long and violent and dreamy, best enjoyed with a little weed or whiskey.  The last track on the album commonly known as  Led Zeppelin IV  but which was untitled.  Kansas Joe and Memphis Minnie, " When The Levee Breaks ," 1929.  Minnie was one of the first women to use an electric guitar on blues recordings.  Kansas Joe's vocal style reminds me a little of Big Bill Broonzy crossed with Robert Johnson.

Jazz vocalise:  you may not be familiar with the term, but you've heard it for years.  We'll talk about vocal jazz and the various forms it takes:  vocalise, scat, and variants.  And no, there won't be a test after.  Opening the show:   Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, "Marie," recorded January 29, 1937.  Bunny Berigan, trumpet, Jack Leonard, vocal.  Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, "One O'Clock Jump," 1957, from  Sing A Song Of Basie .  Lots of great stuff on this record. Count Basie and His Orchestra, "One O'Clock Jump," 1937 .  Finding the original recording of this is a royal pain, because they re-recorded it seemingly every other year.  Ellington was like that with "Take the 'A' Train," as well. Basie, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, a mash-up of "One O'Clock Jump," 2005 .  Just wanted to do this to prove how faithful LH&R were to the original Basie band's brass and sax arrangements.  I had to slow the Basie recording down by 4.6%, but the pitch and key were exactly accurate! Bob Dorough, "Yardbird Suite," 1956.  Yes, that's record noise you hear.  The CD was pressed from a copy of the 1956 Bethlehem Records LP, now long out of print. Slim Gaillard, "Yip Roc Heresy," August, 1951 -- Gaillard sings and talks in his invented language, "voutie."   ("vout" rhymes with "snout")   Among other things, Gaillard wrote a song about potato chips, one about a cement mixer, and in 1948 wrote "Down By The Station (Early In The Morning)" with the late Lee Ricks.  Bet you didn't know that (you probably thought it was some old folk song)!  He also wrote "Flat Foot Floogie," and his daughter married Marvin Gaye.   Ella Fitzgerald, "Blue Skies," 1955.  Can't find the LP this is from. Bobby McFerrin & Manhattan Transfer, "Another Night In Tunisia," 1988.   If you only thought Bobby McFerrin did "Don't Worry, Be Happy," you've missed 98% of what he's achieved in vocal jazz.   Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, "Avenue C," 1957.   There isn't nearly enough of their stuff on records, but there's a lot.   Click here for the MP3 file   (24 megabytes, 40:04 duration).

Production note:  sorry about the overmodulation (technical jargon for "it's too damn loud") in the first voiceover.  I was confused. My mother is probably the source of my taste in music and the musical interest I've had all these years.  She listened to an astonishing range on music in her short life, and here, I talk about and play some of it:  Johnny Mathis, Broadway musicals, Gershwin, Mamas and the Papas, and some strange Sixties stuff.  Opening the show:  Guy Marks, "Loving You Has Made Me Bananas," 1968  Mamas And The Papas, "Words Of Love," 1967  Petula Clark, "Downtown," 1964  Petula Clark, "Downtown (German version)," 1968  Julie Andrews and the original Broadway cast of  My Fair Lady , "Wouldn't It Be Loverly," 1956  Helen Thigpen and the cast of  Porgy And Bess , "Street Cries (Strawberry Woman)," 1959  Johnny Mathis, "Chances Are," 1958  Simon & Garfunkel, "The Boxer," from  Bridge Over Troubled Water,  1968 This episode is dedicated to the memory of Nancy Ellen Ham, 1943-1968.

Sometimes, it's OK to just feel terrible.  Come on and help me through an episode jammed with music of lost loves and regrets.  Be sure and take your antidepressants first... I sure will.  Opening the show:  George Jones, "Am I That Easy To Forget," released on  Walk Through This World With Me , February, 1967  Junior Wells & Buddy Guy, "Ten Years Ago," from  Drinkin' TNT and Smokin' Dynamite,  1977.  Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones sits in on bass in this recording done live at Montreux.  Danny O'Keefe, "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues," from the album  O'Keefe , 1972  George Jones, "She Thinks I Still Care," recorded for United Artists, 1962.  The infamous Pinkard & Bowden recorded a parody of this a number of years ago called "She Thinks I Steal Cars."  Edith Piaf, "C'etait une Histoire d'Amour," recorded 1943.  Piaf, the greatest singer in France's history, died in 1962 of cancer at age 47.  More than 40 years later she's still practically worshipped.  Andre Previn & J.J. Johnson,"Wie Man Sich Bettet," from  Andre Previn & J.J. Johnson Play "Mack The Knife" and Other Songs of Kurt Weill,  recorded in December, 1961.  Never released on CD, this LP has been out of print for nearly 40 years.  Johnson died a few years ago... Previn is largely immersed in the classical world now, but at one point had a big pop hit back in the 1950s called "Like Young."  I used this track to close out my radio show every Saturday night at 3:00am, nearly 25 years ago now.  Feel better now?  I sure do.  Click here for the MP3 file   (23.8 megabytes, 33:05 duration).

If you collect enough records, eventually you realize you have a few that are just so bizarre you wonder for your own sanity.  I have a few of those, at least enough to do up a show.  Opening the show:   a quick selection of Hanna-Barbera sound effects, followed by "Meet The Mets," the official theme song of the inaugural 1962 season of the New York Mets.  This was back when one still referred to children as "kiddies."  Nowadays, they'll kick your ass if you do that.  Z-100 Morning Zoo , "My Girlfriend Is Inflatable," circa 1989.  These guys are responsible for a surprising number of odd records I have lying around here.  My favorite line is still "she's bi-o-degradable..."  Yer Mom , "Fish Otter Pops," 1999.  Originally appeared on a now-out-of-print sampler CD but can be found on  Rock, Punk, Swing , along with such classics as "Mormon Fury" and "I Drink Beer, I Start Shit."  You have to be an Otter Pops fan to get all the references.  Dave Letterman , sound clip, "Where the hell are the singin' cats?" circa 1988  "The International Harvester Song,"  circa 1955.   Featuring Jerry Coyle, The Nelsonics and Billy Maxted's Dixieland Band .  A strange advertising/sales piece distributed to tractor and farm implement dealers back in the 1950s.  Nevertheless, once the hokey vocals get the hell out of the way, Bill Maxted's band really swings hard.  Brak,  "Eating Bugs," 1998.  Brak is a trip, and when  Space Ghost  was more commonly found on Comedy Central, he was the best part of the show.  Except maybe when Zorak gets blown up.  Mrs. Miller , "Strangers In The Night," from  Will Success Spoil Mrs. Miller? , released December, 1966.  Mrs. Elva Miller was a little difficult to figure out.  She was a real person, a fifty-something lady from Claremont, California who recorded several well-promoted albums for Capitol Records, probably on a day when Frank Sinatra was safely hidden in a bunker several states away.  People either took her seriously, or as a seriously inside joke.  For her own part, she always took her music very seriously and only passed away in 1998 at the age of 90.  The Monkees , "Gravy," 1967.  Seven seconds of inscrutable delight.  The Australian Doors Show , "Stairway To Heaven," from  Stairways To Heaven .  This is a terrific but strange collection of over a dozen different Australian bands doing some rather... interesting... versions of the Led Zeppelin war-horse.  This recording is merely one of them. Negativland , "U2 Radio Edit" --  caution!  Strong language and destruction of public images!   This is one of the records that got Negativland sued by U2.  Casey Kasem, oddly enough, didn't sue them.  He's probably now hiding in Sinatra's bunker.  20th Century-Fox Fanfare   Unknown , "belch."  Too Much Joy , "The Otter Song," from  Green Eggs & Crack,  released 1987, reissued 1997.  I warned you, didn't I?  I mean, didn't I????

Rescheduled from August 25, 2005.   Before 1972 or so, it seemed like at least once a year, there was a big instrumental hit out there in radioland, one of those things you might remember listening to on the radio in your grandfather's car or from your mother's kitchen radio.  That whole genre seems to have disappeared, so we're going to go through some almost-forgotten gems.  Hopefully, you will be able to get the tunes out of your head without therapy or drugs afterward.  Hold on.  Opening the show : Perez Prado, "Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White," 1954  Al Hirt, "Java," 1964  Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, "Mexican Shuffle," 1964  Bert Kaempfert, "Swingin' Safari," 1960  Boots Randolph, "Yakety Sax," 1957  "Theme From  Mr. Ed,"  1960  Les Paul & Mary Ford, "Whispering," 1956  Clarence "Frogman" Henry, "Ain't Got No Home," 1958  Billy Williams, "Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself A Letter)," 1959  Again, if you can help with Hurricane Katrina relief, check the September 3 podcast page (one previous to this one) for details on how to give.

It's a melancholy time sometimes.   The fall, the autumn, the equinox.  What music brings back memories for you of the autumns of your life?  I'll go through some of my favorites.  Opening the show:   Stan Kenton, the Four Freshmen, and June Christy, "September Song," c.1962.  June Christy persuades her damaged voice to give up one more performance of this classic, originally written for  Knickerbocker Holiday  by Kurt Weill.  The trombone choir is magnificent.  The Innocence Mission, "Beginning The World," 1989  Paul Desmond, "Autumn Leaves," 1961 John Denver, "Rocky Mountain High," 1971  James Taylor, "Carolina In My Mind," 1972  Antonio Vivaldi, "Winter," from  The Four Seasons,  concerto for violin.

You know those songs that seem to end up associated with people, even if those people never even knew it?  Music that has become attached to the times of your life, and you can't explain it to anyone?  I try to explain the Music Of My Life.   Opening the show:  Billy Joel, "This Is The Time," from  The Bridge , 1986  "In My Own Little Corner," from  Rodgers And Hammerstein's Cinderella, 1957  or  1965  versions --  what you hear is the 1965 version by Leslie Anne Warren, because it was the one I knew, though the March 18, 1957 version is superior and is now available on DVD.  Side note:  if you have a sharp ear, you'll not that the 1965 version is indeed one half-step lower than the 1957 version.   "Caught Up In You," .38 Special,  Special Forces ,  1982.   "Something Stupid,"  Frank and Nancy Sinatra , 1965.  Don't know why this sticks in my head, probably because I used to hear it early in the morning on my parents' old Zenith clock-radio down the hall, the one with the tubes in it. "Sweet City Woman,"  The Stampeders , 1971.  Eventually, the clock radio became mine, and this is the sort of stuff I heard back in the summer of '71.
