sounded perfect to me.

I'm pretty sure we have some Johnny Cash fans here. This is a great song (originally NIN) but the video is fantastic:

I never really got the Johnny Cash thing. To each his own. This is not bashing your offering. Just that I don't regard it as being in any way exceptional or noteworthy ... musically.

There's just one problem with this song IMHO; it's too short.

You are very correct here. It should have lasted thru dubiwa (W). :rolleyes:

I think you have an interesting book on The Cosmos. Congrats. ...

Well W did his part in the Texas Air National Guard thanks to Daddy. No VC going to get away with anything in Texas.

Thanks for the comment on the book. Weird cover though. I think I'm going to change it.

Trivia question: Can anyone name the song on the flip side of this 45?

Hints: Martial Arts, Native American

I grew up in the 50's and 60's. So, yeah, Elvis, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, etc. The Stones are my favorite. Never really got into the Elvis thing. The Beatles, of course, who doesn't like their stuff? Will be posting some of it from, eg., the Rubber Soul album.

Interesting! I don't think I've ever heard of this happening before; at least, I've never seen it - one song released on two different 45s. I still have my old copy of One Tin Soldier, by Coven, on a 45, with Fire on the flip side. I always thought it was strange to not only have two different artists on a 45, but also such completely different genres of music.

You still have 45s? :eek:

I need them. The LP 78s don't play well anymore.

In fact, they are just mementos from my youth. I think the only one I've played in the last 20 years was a rare copy of something I wanted to preserve [linked] for its profound contribution to humanity, though I might have played a few once... not sure now... but if I did it was just for fun.

It does to me, as well (some people are just more particular than others).

I'm also somewhat smitten with these tunes:

This is most perplexing. Naturally, the first thing that came to mind, given your hints, was Billy Jack (I was thinking 'Ballad of Billy Jack', or 'Legend of Billy Jack' ... whatever). But that made no sense. So, looking a bit further, I found 'Rest Cure'.

I think your 45 might be worth some money to a collector. Is it in good condition?

I don't think the best song ever has been posted before.

1981, Anita Meijer.

I'm not sure about the condition... probably rough. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's a rare find. It always did seem odd.

Well, it's fun, it's saucy, it's got the beat. But I don't think we can have a disco tune as the best song ever. But then, this is the best songs ever thread. So, of course, this tune is a welcome addition.

Another welcome addition. But, if I recall correctly, I did this tune, or something very much like it, in my basement about 50 years ago before I learned how to play ... anything. Just kidding. Nice club music, or whatever. As you can tell ... not my cup of tea. But there's no accounting for taste. Or is there? Probably not. But then ... :smile: Actually, I liked it.

I have a few 45s tucked away in a little case somewhere, and hundreds of LPs, some of which are quite rare or old. I have an original Buckingham/Nicks LP that didn't sell at all and ended up in cut-out bins before they were hired by Fleetwood Mac. I have two original copies of "Pure Prairie League" which was never re-released on CD for some reason, despite being the best of their catalog. There are many, many more. Some of the oldest LPs are by the Ink Spots and the Mills Brothers, and they originated with my great-uncle when I was just a little kid. None of this stuff is on YouTube, so I can't link it.

That's a great stash. I've moved around so much that my original collections became ... disbursed.
