Sing it to me.

I've got a love (got a love, got a love) that I cling on to (on toooo)
And I'll stay there... til the very end.

I've... found... an aaaanswer, I don't think you don't care... just you laugh, 'cos you're loaded, and things are different from then.

AND in the vid the band are having larks in a car in That London and they're all young.

I used to like Twist and Shout by them.
Something about a pale girl in a blue room with a wide smile.

I like singing that with my mum.

I like your mum

(Bazongaloid, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:04, Reply)

Yeah but when you and my mum do singing
you go into the shed together and lock the door.
And you only ever practice that one with both your names in.

my favourite bit is when she gets to the chorus
it goes "No not that hole, oh okay then, since you're in, keep going"

They were shit.
He was a gap-toothed paedophile-looking fucker and she couldn't sing for shit. They weren't any good at singing in harmony and the subsequent impression given was that neither of the singers could actually hear each other and just bellowed away nonetheless - rather like the otherwise infinitely preferable Jefferson Airplane.

He always had a somewhat pained expression, like a diseased gibbon straining for a particularly troublesome dump. This was possibly brought on by the grating sound of his co-vocalist - maybe he was merely wincing.

It's one of those that's great to sing to in the bath really loudly.

Actually they did one brilliant tune
called 'Rock'n'Roll' which opens with one of the most-sampled beats in hip hop, fucking immense drum break.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:09, Reply)

and for the record Lorraine has the amazingest voice and has never aged and still looks BOSS in a dress and Docs and I'm going to be her when I grow up.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:02, Reply)

That bit where they go
'souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs' is easily as irritating as 'we buy any car.com' - possibly even more so. It's in 'Crazy Frog' territory.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:42, Reply)

I love that bit :(
I sound just like her when I sing it with my dad's cousin Frankie on his karaoke roadshow.
Except he can't do it any more because it was benefit fraud.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:59, Reply)

I have an early Jefferson Airplane album
that for some reason has 12 or so tracks in stereo, and then the same again in mono.

I don't understand why
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:03, Reply)

Their best LPs
are 'Volunteers' and the live recording 'Bless Its Pointed Little Head'.

Honourable mention goes to their performance at Altamont where their own (really rather irritating hippie knob) singer Marty Balin actually gets punched unconscious by a Hell's Angel during a 'number'.

Good old Hell's Angels.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:11, Reply)

I have Volunteers
it was a present and I have hardly listened. The other is Surrealistic Pillow which was very cheap and I bought mainly for White Rabbit.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:19, Reply)

I have the single of White Rabbit
I pinched it from my father. It's their best song (along with Somebody to Love) but the LP is a bit too wet for my tastes.

Particularly when you consider that fellow Californians the mighty Blue Cheer's 'Vincebus Eruptum' was released around the same time...
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:27, Reply)

Those are indeed those best songs
and white rabbit always pleasantly reminds me of that bit from Fear and Loathing, which in turn reminds me of a particular occasion getting off my face on absinthe while at uni.

One of my favourite singles is '7 & 7 is'
What a fucking tune. I have to say I think 'Forever Changes' is nowhere near as good as people make it out to be.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:36, Reply)

It is almost a cliche now to praise it...
...but it is an immnense influence on music.
The other side of the coin is that De Capo is criminally underrated.
(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 15:40, Reply)

They were Prefab Sprout without the talent.
And that twee fucking song about a boat is enough to make me start dialling Jack Kervorkian's phone number.
Total and utter fuckers.

Music is all about what it makes the individual feel.
Roota said it makes her happy and I suggest it makes me want to remove my kidneys with a bottle opener.
