Hot Sand by The Shocking Blue who also did Venus.

I like this video of Venus better than the one that was posted earlier on this thread. She was a cutie, wasn't she?

Now we're talking! That's the country music that I grew up on!

Quentin Tarantino heard this song in Amsterdam in a vintage record store. He knew he had to use it in his movie Reservoir Dogs .

I've never heard this song before, nor do I recall the movie. Thanks.

From Los Bravos who also had the hit "Black is
Black"

I like the ending of the Black is Black video. Kinda reminds me of the Monkees.

Sweet‘s “Ballrooom Blitz” came from a riot that saw the band bottled off the stage at the Grand Hall Palace Theater, Kilmarnock, Scotland, in 1973. Men spat, and the women screamed to drown out the music. This was unexpected for a group famous for their string of chart hits like Little Willy, Wig-Wag Bam, and the number 1, Block Buster.


Why it happened led to suggestions that the band’s appearance in eye-shadow, glitter and lipstick was too much for the audience.


Another was the rumor that Sweet didn’t play their instruments, that they were a manufactured band like The Monkees. A story which may have gained credence as the band’s famous song-writing duo of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, preferred using session musicians to working with artists.


The sliver of truth in this rumor was that Sweet only sang on the first 3 Chinn-Chapman singles (Funny, Funny, Co-Co and Poppa Joe). It wasn’t until the fourth, Little Willy, that Chinn and Chapman realized Sweet was in fact far better musicians than any hired hands, and allowed the band to do what they did best - play.

That was a good read. I didn't realize they sang Ballroom Blitz until this post. BTW I like that song. Little Willy was one of my favorites and it has already been posted. So, I looked up the number 1 Blockbuster. And you know what? I don't recall hearing it before.

Yes, been to the Ryman a few times.
Glad you are not stumbling.

And another obscure song

LOL! What's obscure about it? That's what we do! Bruhahahaha!

SD may have already posted this, if so, sorry.
But it still sounds great.

Wow! You can remember who posted what? I can't. You are right, it deserves a second posting. A very good song.

Yeh, The Lawrence Welk Show....................Ah 1 ah 2 ah 1 2 3.

Haha. The band introduction seemed very awkward. You could tell he was nervous. But they jumped right in there and gave it their all.

 

[WannaDig3687]

That's a good one. I haven't heard it for awhile.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Any Stevie Wonder song! My dad likes Johnny Cash, too. Can't quite remember his favorite song, though.

I like Stevie Wonder songs too! And Johnny Cash. Here's a good one.

Probably could have just posted that song on a few threads for some of the members

The Psychotic Reaction part.

Here's one of my favorites performed for the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman.

That is good Sis.

Ok time to go. It has been fun, Simon. I will try and think of some more country songs for the month. Have a Blessed Day, er Night.

Well I hope Johnny Cash gets a chuckle out of this re-wording of his " I Walk The Line " done with you and Beeps in mind !


" I Walk The Line " or " I'll Drink The Rum"


I keep a close watch on this cup of wine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the galley open for the sign
Because you got gum
I'll drink the rum

I find it very, very easy to be blue
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I admit I'm a fool for some brew
Because you got gum
I'll drink the rum


As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep my eyes open day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you got gum
I'll drink the rum


You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me ARC's share for which I hide
I'd walk the plank right into the tide
Because you got gum
I'll drink the rum


I keep a close watch on this cup of wine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the galley open for the sign
Because you got gum
I'll drink the rum

 

[WannaDig3687]

Lol! You have got to post it on the RCT!

 

[Simon1]

Thanks for the company Sis, see you later

I can't retire, I can't get fired, been working at the shop for only 25 +/- years, but still. I get the "rant and rave like I committed murder when I clock in 5 minutes late." This song doesn't even considered the pencil pushing job. Oh if they only knew, when all you have is the brains to do the job, the job makes sure you don't have any brains left.
