It's interesting...to my ear Dionne Warwick's style works amazingly well with some BAcharach/David songs and not as well with others...This one is just an amazing version...but I find Dusty Springfield's versons of some Bacharach/David songs far more listenable than Warwick...I know it's all a ma...

These girls are all late teens-early 20's that have spent most of their life dreaming and working towards being a freakin' beauty contest winner!....Don't ask a scientist to enter the Miss Usa contest and don't ask a beauty contest contestant to explain quantum physics...or evolution...or much of...

I disagree...with the exception of DON'T PASS ME BY and SHE'S LEAVING HOME these songs have always RATED in my mind....

So much for Alex Jones sources

@riptonks For whatever it's worth....you're right on all counts...the music of the 20's 30's and 40's were wonderful...but it was a period of tremendous political instability...and you're right again about the racial tensions...and something else....as in all eras..what we as a culture remeber fr...

just one word comes to mind...WOW....

I saw something very similar to this on Staten Island in New York City in 1997...made a helluvan impression on me...it was only at about 500 feet, made no noise, moved in a straight line and seemed to be traveling at about 100 mph...only real difference is the one I saw didn't have a dark band ar...

I wonder if anyone remembers that the "bars" outside the cars on the slant side were added AFTER they were already in service...at the time it was still SOP to move from car to car while the train was in motion and the slant created what was considered a gap where people could pssibly fall...

PLEASE GOD make this deranged simpleton the Republican nominee...he'll probably get the hardcore wingnut vote...but he'll scare the shit out of everyone else...

Thanks to whoever posted this....even in this early raw state the song is just beautiful...in fact I might even prefer it over the finished version...

I just love this....this is WAY beyond a tribute band..these are excellent musicians treating the material as if it's a classical piece and playing it to note for note perfection...as someone mentioned it's probably the first time side 2 was actually performed live and as a single piece...just wo...

WOW...Mike Love...an acid burn out 20 years on...sad...

hate to tell ya but it's a puppet...if you look close you can see the head of the guy manipulating the puppet!...

Sweet....

Shih Tzus have a very definite IT'S NOT NORMAL take on something unexpected

I've always heard that the reason dogs "sing" to high pitched sounds is because it's painful to them....not dangerous..but their hearing is so sharp high end noise is painful...I could be wrong, and hey, my dog does the same thing and I'm guilty of doing this myself...but look at this guys face.....

There is a GREAT version of this song by Dionne Warwick...does anyone have it?

When this record first came out a LOT of people thought it was the Beatles under an alias...I emember when I first heard it I thought it was...the lead singer sounded a ot like Lennon...same thing happened with the early Bee Gees records....same thing happened with the first Badfinger record...th...

I hear 2 guitars and the dums....no bass?...

@BigJiggety....That goes without saying...all four of them were "students" of American Rock and ROll...I think it was ringo who said they all seemed to have the record collections...they had the knowledge if not the refined skills to create this music...and we must NEVER forget the influence of G...

I don't think this is the final lead vocal either...

This sounds like a multi track (probably4) demo with McCartney playing everything...the giveaway is the drums...McCartney could keep a beat but he was rather stiff as a drummer....RIngo called him a frustrated drummer..if it was beatles recording the drumming would be a lot more fluid and McCartn...

I stand Corrected....I was thinking in terms of a 12 string ACOUSTIC sound..if these are 12 strings they're electric...

Hey give The Batugan a break...my wife feels the same way about FEELINGS....on the other hand I like it...it's very simple, very basic and expresses a universal emotion...granted when it was big and you heard it every 5 minutes there were times you REALLY did want to buy a shotgun and blow the ra...

That's Don Rickles!

Try 461 Feet!...and you're both right....Steinbrenner destroyed Yankee Stadium with his inistance on that awful renovation of the mid 70's...It's the reason tearing down the stadium didn't really effect me...Foe me Yankee Stadium has been gone for many years...

My initial reaction was YEAH, RIGHT....but damn...IF this is authentic footage what is she doing?...it does look like she's talking into a cellphone...but that does raise the question...who is she talking to?...there are no celll towers in Hollywood in 1928...no way to transmit a contemporary mob...

The truly sad, and at the same time truly laughable aspect of this clip is that hisotry "perfesser" Beck doesn't know about the Dreyfus affair...
