Lester1beck is apparently so rock infested he thinks everything else is

old fashioned. Too bad, he doesn't realize that some things DON'T

go out of style. HE'll get over THAT in time.

bet elvis was lol at the ripped my jeans part..should have more music like this

[marbleflat]

Freberg is bloody funny, and always has been. You have to have a deep love & appreciation of music to be able to take the piss out of it as effectively as he does. Never heard this before -- thanks for posting :D

Echo by 'Mammoth Cave'

'Echo by Mammoth Cave' - a precursor to the amount of echo on dub versions of reggae songs?

@Lester1Beck I have been in the business as a performing musican

and, while not in the top 40 record business, still knew what was going on by

trade papers, colleagues, and friends. . "In the Mood"

and "True Love" are still STANDARDS, get that? and recorded by more

artists, too. KIDS? Yes, but not everybody has to cater to ONLY kids!

. NOBODY is "stuck" in an era! Pop music (and that"s the SONGS folks)

became increasingly banal by the mid 50's. Nothing to do with "moving on"

[dancebandleader]

@Lester1Beck Oh, I forgot. There you go again using that

word "threat" or "frightened". NOBODY was threatened

by these new people. A comment I heard at the time

was "it's trash, we'll just keep looking for really good songs

to record." You know what ? there were fewer good new songs

but established artists did find them, and recorded them

along with new treatments of standards. That's hardly

a time warp concept. Most of the better new songs came

from Broadway and Films.

@Lester1Beck It's quite interesting that you are twisting the

thing around to pour venom on the artists you mentioned. It's

the SONGS that were becoming more banal. You obviously

never were in the business. The "old boy network" is simply

the a figment of the imagination of hack writers who don't know

anything about music. If you don't like the artists you mentioned

who was better 50 years ago than they were? "Hound Dog"

"Tutti Fruiti" "She Loves You (yeah yeah yeah), pure crap

[dancebandleader]

@Lester1Beck Too bad you are so touchy about this. A lot of

music never goes out of style. Are you saying that fans of

Opera, Symphony, Modern Jazz and Broadway are stuck in a time

warp also? That IS baloney. i'd like to know who was really

"frightened" by fads and trends. How that word came to used

in this context is nonsense. Musicians weren't frightened by this

and neither was the listening audience. What was true was the

steady decline in pop music all through the 50's. Ha!
