DJ360 6,385 Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 It seems to say 'original'. Smokey Robinson wrote and recorded the original..which seems to be heavily sampled in this... and released it in 1965. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 2,923 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 When the Stags were at a very low ebb I can remember the away fans singing "Lets all drink to the death of Mansfield Town" to the Kinks hit "Death of a Clown" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,385 Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 A week or so back I was at friends and they played this: Despite my undying teen lust after the gorgeous Michelle Phillips.. I pointed out to my friends that the original hit was recorded by the fabulous Shirelles around1960: However... I was wrong (DJ 360 wrong? Surely not!!!) Surely yes.. So here it is.. the original.. Credit where it's due I say.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not a bad rendition and yes, the dance moves are fab and groovy, but they don't trump the Impressions: One of my favourite 'non Motown' bands, whose history goes back to at least 1958,with this: Jerry Butler went on to have his own solo career..recording this well before the Walker Bros. And this brilliant recording with Betty Everett in 1964: Meanwhile the Impressions had hits such as: And: I useter play the Impressions a lot dahn the360... obviously..because I was cool....

Cliff Ton 10,008 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 I never saw the film back in the day, but I have the DVD and have watched it several times. I'm not normally interested in jazz, but the music is by Johnny Dankworth and it works really well as the soundtrack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 1,907 Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 If you find it hard to exercise then i dare you to watch these two video's on You-Tube if these don't get you off the sofa well nothing will. 1st one Hillbilly Girl Lisa Mchugh it starts in a small town centre but when Lisa starts singing every one joins in I DARE YOU TAKE A LOOK. 2nd DVD/video Now if you have rubber legs this is the one for you, Even when he goes to the loo. Dire Straits WALK OF LIFE never ever have you seen legs like this man has got. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David sheridan 158 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Not listening, but watching an old French movie short which brought back memories of my childhood, the film Ballon Rouge, or rather The Red Balloon , lovely views of France in the old days too.

MargieH 7,423 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 I’ve just watched the film again… it’s quite surreal isn’t it! I started thinking about the song - 99 red balloons from the 80s 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We’ve seen them perform at The Stables in Wavendon, Milton Keynes, which was their home. A good friend of ours hired The Stables for his 50th Birthday party, 20+ years ago, and we were entertained by The Bootleg Beatles, a brilliant night. It was a great venue but not sure if it’s still open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
