Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Now on my radio -- "Double Shot of My Baby's Love." Does any other song of the '60s exude so much testosterone?
"You're Having My Baby" is 70s, right?
It's not only 70s, it's 1974. A notoriously bad year for songs.
I see "Billy, Don't Be a Hero" is #2. I've always thought Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods got a bad rap. Their follow-up single, "Who Do You Think You Are," is a wonderful piece of pop. But "Billy" was the big hit, and it's the one everyone remembers.
And anyone who'd vote "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" as worst song of any year has no romance in their soul.
Oooh, "Girl,You'll Be A Woman Soon" should qualify as drowned in testosterone.

It gets even weirder if you think of the Four Seasons' (as the Wonder Who) version of "Don't Think Twice." Which defines the combination of sublime and outrageous if any recording can.
Goodness. Elvis Costello is interviewing Bill Clinton on my TV. that was unexpected.
EC's chat show has been quite good. The Clinton episode was unexpected but very well done.
