Thanks, Ivan! That brought back memories!

Thanks, Ivan! That brought back memories!

I think the screams of that crowd [Go Away Little Girl] approach the maximum frequency of human hearing!

I remember my sister playing this stuff for hours on end.

Ruby, she comes on the morning. Like sun through the wind she arrives...

My wife lights my life this way. Simple little song with nice lyrics and simple arrangement (a couple of guitars, bass, and flute). It's still a favorite.

I noticed recently that someone posted a couple of songs done by an old buddy of mine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrHoa36xRFk

This was by far Jeff's biggest hit - We'll never have to say goodbye again. It was ultimately released by england dan & john ford coley and did very well on the charts - I think it was number one for a time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BocR0Pu25Kk

Jeff was also responsible for some of the music in the movie, Midnight Cowboy, and much of his stuff was done by other artists. Years later he returned to school, at which time I drug his butt through chemistry. We had been buddies for about six months when I first visited him at home. At that point I knew nothing of his music career, so you can imagine my surprise when I walked into his livingroom and saw I think six gold albums hanging on the wall!

One of the best songs ever has got to be Metallica's Master of Puppets.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

One afterthought: Jeff was also a comedian, which comes across in much of his music. I have a rare copy of his song I found your number on the bus stop restroom wall. He finds a number on the restroom wall and calls it in hopes of getting lucky. But at the end of the song he realizes that the number is his own and he's talking to his wife.

On the flip side is the reason for giving me a copy. He wrote something like "this is just to show how I feel about all of the invaluable help that you have given me this year". The song is called So ****ing what. That song was part a comedy routine he did at nightclubs. He was a lot of fun to have around... I remember him running about the Chem lab one day yelling "My cock is leaking! My cock is leaking!". He meant his petcock, of course.

Here's what he's doing now.

Manometer by the Muppets:
Manometer do do do do do
Manometer do do do da
Manometer do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do da
M a a a a a a nometer manometer manometer
(to be sung to the tune of manometer)
I forget the other words but they are very moving and bring a tear to the eye.
Does anyone think It a good idea for this forum to get involved in some community singing?

I'm not sure if these were posted, I definitely rank these as some of the best songs...




It still sends me chills down my back when I listen to it. I still I can't believe I was there.

EDIT: The funny part is like 30-40 seconds into the second video. Watching him, and then at that moment live you're like... what's he doing... then...!

It is amazing what survives on the internet. I remembered that Jeff was in the movie, Phantom of the Paradise, when I saw it listed on netflix. It turns out that he played three parts. Sure enough; found part of the movie on YouTube. He is the guy with the dark glasses singing [and passing around the Cheech & Chong joint. ]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd4IxRHlNVQ

At one time he was roommates with Paul Williams, who starred in the movie and was a popular musician back in the 70s. Jeff told me a few stories about his life back then - rich and wild and living the hollywood life. He also told me about some hit songs that were stolen from his locker, but I probably shouldn't say more.

I had never seen the movie [thought I had] so it was kind of cool to see it.

 

[Fizikas]

I don't think that i can say what is my best song, because after some time it will get boring, but one of my favourite songs is nightwish will smith-men in black

Here's one for the old-time computer programmers - reminds me of my days with Fortran. One of my favorite live Stan Rogers songs. No video, but it's a a cute song, from "Between the Breaks". You'll recognize the lead-in and lead-out identifying this number as an out-take from a Dr. Demento program. "You've got an appointment!"

Plug in your good headphones for this one.

One more thing about Jeff came to mind that I wanted to mention. He was also buddies with Lorne Michaels, who came to Jeff one day with another one of his wacky ideas about some nightime comedy show that he wanted to do - ultimately called Saturday Night Live. He offered Jeff a part in the original cast, but he was pretty busy at the time so he turned it down.

I don't know if anyone picked this one yet since I didn't read all of the 58 previous pages but I think Metallica's cover of "Loverman" is the best.

Back in the 70's there was a band, Mountain. Well, they're still around - after 37 years.

Some good tunes. They have a Mountain Radio App on the site. It started with Mountain's Masters of War with Ozzie Osborn.
