A very strange day was when a very close high school friend, who knows practically nothing about popular music, told me that in the '80s she went on one date with this musician named Lemmy. She had no idea he was anybody.
Avatar 9:34pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Gaylord, that reminds me of a story one of my professors told me. He's a television professor and doesn't follow music. As a teenager he served hot dogs to Bono and the Edge and they thought it was hilarious that he didn't know who they were. They called the other two band members over to have a look at the kid who didn't recognize them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:36pm

But there's music on TV, Bronwyn. He's got no excuse, I say.

@melinda: Story is that when his family moved from England to Wales when he was a kid, the other Welsh kids called him "Limey" and with a Welsh accent, it sounded like "Lemmy" to him.

  11:00pm
JakeGould:

FWIW, the first 12 (I believe) episodes of “Magnum P.I.” use a far more classic, sweeping theme than the “rocking” Mike Post theme most people associate with the show.

Also, watching the episodes in order with the help of Magnum Mania highlights something I never realized: The whole world of “Magnum P.I.” exists in the same universe of “Hawaii Five-O.” It’s not explicit, but lots of subtle references dropped in episodes. Of course Magnum is not a cop, so there is no deep overlap.

We had a 1950 Ford F6 farm truck that was very similar to Sanford and Son's pickup (1951 F1). It was red, just like Fred's.

I just a British Play for Today called Season of the Witch. Julie Driscoll, Robert Powell and Paul Nicholas as well, not hippies, exactly...

It would have been even better if they had used Lou Rawls on the soundtrack.

Well, Julie Driscoll did a pretty fair version herself.

Of course the user who likes smelt likes the song about seal mammals.

Micky is truly an unsung hero of rock/pop vocals.

The only way this song would be better would be if it was about sea lions!

Since we are talking about old TV shows, we should mention The Carol Burnett Show

The closing theme from Carol Burnett was more memorable than the opening.

Three of my favorite '60s theme songs have unusual time signatures: "Ben Casey" and "Mission: Impossible," both in 5/4, and "Room 222," which is in 7/4.

@Gaylord: “Mission: Impossible” is so great.

What makes "Hanky Panky" so great is the Tommy James' made-up lyrics make zero sense, and bear no relation to the original.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:37pm
Gaylord Fields:

First he's calling her "his baby" and then he's talking about them just meeting, and then he claims he never saw her. Backpedal much, Tommy?

On the success of “Hanky Panky” Tommy James claims, “One night I was playing for 20 drunks in a bar in Michigan, and the next night I'm playing for 10,000 screaming fans in Pittsburgh.”

Ken From Hyde Park:

By the way, did anyone remember to feed Dave's chimps?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:39pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Matt F: "Hanky Panky" is like the ending of Monster A Go-Go: "But there was no monster..."
  11:39pm
JakeGould:

@Gaylord Fields: That completely throws the whole concept of a singer singing a song in a fair point of view that takes all parties feelings/emotions into consideration out the window.

@GaylordFields: Damn me. I’ll see of I can return this dreck and get the kettle corn in time. Maybe a few bags of Utz pretzels will keep them happy? And a few Table Talk pies? I mean it’s late and I have to be realistic about food purchase options.
