I read that cover first as "shut up and dance"... seems a bit more correct than "shape up".

You know there was an act called Shut Up And Dance, Otis? I wonder if that's where one of them got the name from?
Avatar 2:05pm
Otis Fodder:

Oh, I see from the cover they do "Come Dancing"... oh no. Never heard of Shut up... don't know George Best but looking up now.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:05pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I love songs that start with "I've never done these things ... so now I'm going to have an opinion on them". lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:06pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Otis - George Best is, was, and always will be the greatest football player ever. Fact. :-)
  2:06pm
TheHipMen:

Really that is what he is calling drugs...chocolate candy??? :facepalm:
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:06pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

Did he just describe coffee as an opiate?
Avatar 2:07pm
worldsworstrecords:

indeed he did!

GG - Ah, I see, looking at George's wiki. If I grew up in Manchester I'm sure I would have a t-shirt of Best.

My itching teeth would tend to disagree with him there ... ;-)

i am so in love with the Mystic Zephyrs 4: they're America's Ronnie and the Ronnies

This sounds like a band you can hear in a holiday inn
Avatar 2:08pm
Otis Fodder:

Daryll, do you have this on Vinyl? Been looking for a vinyl transfer for years, only person I knew who had a copy was John K Fitzgerald who ran the old Oddball Auditorium 20 years back online.
Avatar 2:08pm
worldsworstrecords:

Do you know the Wedding Present Otis? their debut album was named after that George Best
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:08pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Otis - the complicated history of football is such that Manchester United fans tend to come from anywhere other than Manchester ... it tends to be a Manchester City town. Football club of Oasis ;-)
Avatar 2:09pm
worldsworstrecords:

sadly not Otis. I'd sell my husband for a copy
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:09pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

I still have my press copy of that Wedding Present album :-)
Avatar 2:10pm
Otis Fodder:

Too much $$ for the Mystic kids record, mp3s are just fine. One day someone might reissue it or share online, that would be great.
Avatar 2:10pm
worldsworstrecords:

I love the Wedding Present. And now they're based in Brighton, GG
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:11pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

They are indeed! Saw a one-dayer with them about four years ago at the Concorde 2 on the seafront :-)
Avatar 2:11pm
Otis Fodder:

Don't know Wedding Present, but know the name. Yea, for George Best just didn't hear about Football much (only the US kind) growing up in California.

This song is hysterical! Yes, your wife is a cheat, but at least I didn't steal your apples

So a few weeks ago we were talking about this record - which has been on my wantlist for many, many years - and a copy went up for sale and was immediately gone. I'd missed it by mere minutes!

Very much so Otis... I doubt Hooray For Hollywood would exist without the Frivolous Five
Avatar 2:17pm
Otis Fodder:

I kick myself but just lightly while smiling, as I passed my copy of George Garabeidan to a friend as a b-day gift a number of years ago. BC here gave me a copy of the Ophir State Marching Band (same record) shortly after.
  2:18pm
TheHipMen:

Oh hey a school choir from 1976 the same year as the bi-cenntianl
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:19pm
Rich in Washington:

Somewhere I swear I read that the (possibly fictitious) Harry Arms was a beginning trumpet student that George brought into the studio for that pisstake session.
Did I just imagine that?
Avatar 2:19pm
Otis Fodder:

@Rich - Put this on your wantlist too. Same record as George, a school band parody record, www.discogs.com...
Avatar 2:19pm
worldsworstrecords:

that oddly truncated ending is how it appears on the album, sadly
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20pm
DJ GeorgyGirl:

@Rich - yep. That's the story. Although I think he had money and basically bought the sessions.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20pm
Rich in Washington:

Also the same year as Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver. Coincidence?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20pm
Rich in Washington:

DONE! Thanks, Otis!

TheHipMen:

Speaking of school choirs, bands, and school music, you should do a section of school choir/ band cover song of the week, because there is a lot of them
Avatar 2:22pm

So many, good spotlight idea.

I think it is weird Japanese song, rich

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:24pm
Rich in Washington:

thanks TheHipMen. I was wondering.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:24pm
Rich in Washington:

Funny. I've been looking at my discogs wantlist notifications pretty diligently and just recently, two white whales ended up being available and very quickly snatched up so I am more vigilant about watching it and how I haven't gotten a notification in several days. And I'm relatively flush. What gives?
