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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just because it's Saturday I'm posting two somewhat rare Brian Wilson productions up on Buffistarawk.
Guess I'm Dumb by Glen Campbell. Brian wrote this is as a thank you to Glen when he went out on the road with the Beach Boys after Brian had a breakdown. It's from smack in the middle of Brian's Pet Sounds era and it's a very Pet Sounding song, except its got Glen's lead vocals. Gorgeous song and production.
The One You Can't Have by The Honeys. Seeing as Brian was obsessed with Phil Spector it was inevitable that he'd toy around with girl groups, and he did with the Honeys, which included his wife Marilyn on vocals. Great song, with lots of distinctive Brian-ish touches.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Awww, Ellen Willis was one of my favorite rock critics. Her piece in Stranded is the best in the book, and really started me into the Velvet Underground.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I actually like to do stuff like that. Okay, admittedly, I don't actually play out, but I work up clearly sexist songs like Jet's "Are you gonna be my girl?" to perform with the gender reversed.
We actually had a disagreement about this with Deb on facebook. She wanted to reverse gender for a specific song, that resonated about a specific individual for her. I felt that she should leave it, and perform it with the original gender intact and that people would understand the inference. Out of respect to the original songwriter, you know?
So I would only change the gender on a song that I intended to lambaste the author, in that kind of context, one that illustrated the sexism of the original.
