And Dyan Diamond did a killer version of "Mystery Dance"

[Harker]

14. I got scorched on this earlier.

1. “I said, ‘I’m so happy I could die’
She said, ‘Drop dead’, then left with another guy”

2. “Mama killed a chicken
Thought it was a duck
Put it in the table with its legs sticking up”

(That one has been covered many times. Just looking for the song title.)

3. “There’s a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck-free
Though I respect that a lot,
I'd be fired if that were my job,
After killing Jason off, and countless screaming Argonauts.”

4. “Well, I dreamed there was an island
That rose up from the sea
And everybody on the island
Was somebody from TV
And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see
'Cause everybody on the island was saying:
Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me!
Look at me!”

(Props to anyone who gets this one.)

[red dog 1]

[Miles Archer]

22. OK, I have #1

1). Declan McManus, "The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes" (also recorded by Elvis Costello)

[Clash City Rocker]

37. LOL! Yup

Elvis Costello is a great name, but his original name was Declan Patrick Aloysius McManus. It seems wrong somehow not to use such a great name. I don’t think he legally changed it, though...he sometimes credited his compositions to “DPA McManus.”

[red dog 1]

40. It's got a competition clutch with 4 on the floor, and it purrs like a kitten

It was about a 1948 plane crash near Los Gatos Canyon, 20 miles west of Coalinga in Fresno County, which killed 4 Americans and 28 migrant farm workers who were being deported from California back to Mexico.

It's a great song!

by ole Jerry Jeff

"he drives a 1957 GMC pick-em-up truck
with a gun rack

(at least that's the way I sang it back in the day)

[red dog 1]

50. "Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother" is correct

Gotta' love Jerry Jeff Walker.

[musette_sf]

47. 26) "We could buy a trailer..If we bought a trailer, we could go to Vegas"

I knew immediately this was "The Lottery Song", but must admit that the only version of it that I know is by Bill Lloyd, on his "Lloyd-Ering" album which is all covers. Had to look up that it was originally Nilsson.

[red dog 1]

I could be a plumber
We could wait till summer
We could save our money
Have a fine vacation

63. I had a big crush on Mary Travers

of Peter, Paul, and Mary fame when I was a wee lad. I like their rendition, too.

[red dog 1]

86. I had a crush on her too.

Shortly after being born in Kentucky, her parents moved to Greenwich Village, New York City, where she grew up
She attended the progressive "Little Red School House" "where she met musical icons like Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson.
She left school in the 11th grade to become a member of the "Song Swappers" folk group.

She was a familiar folk singer around Greenwich Village around the time Bob Dylan first arrived in NYC.

In 1961, Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, signed her and made her part of the trio that would become Peter, Paul & Mary.

Shortly after she returned to NYC from a trip to Florida, a friend asked her: "Mary, how come you don't have a tan from your trip to Florida?"
She replied: "Albert Grossman told me not to stay out in the sun very long because he wanted me to be a pale blond."

[Harker]

I was similarly smitten by Petula Clark and Shari Lewis.

For a little kid, I really got around.
