if bill wants to throw in some cheesy do-wop once in a while, that's no reason to get your knickers all in a twist!
do-wop is an important and honorable part of the heritage of rock musack.
just be glad it's the real thing and not some lame imitator like jimmy page or brian setzer.
1. There are people that don't like cucumbers?!?!?
2. This is NOT cheesey do-wop, though it does exist.
3. The Honeydrippers EP is excellent! And it was Robert Plant and Brian Setzer.
The track is a 10 in my opinion. It just doesn't get much more "dreamy" than that. |

This was a classic "slow dance" song from my youth, one of the top five at every sock hop I ever went to; was amazed at how well the production is on this track all these years later.
It wears well with time.

I find this type of song makes me turn to my stereo and literally forces me to log-in and say that I can't frigging stand it.
Sorry. Sue me. I hate it. Can you account for that? No - I think not. Can I account for it? No - not really.
Why does one person like cucumbers and the other doesn't?
I adore this station- - and I think that there is a tendency (at least amongst a party of me, myself, and I ) to only logon to say negative things. That's human nature.
Sue me.
I adore this station and support it in every way.

When I see lowest rating = "1" for songs like this (and so many others that are completely undeserving of that rating) it makes me wonder if there are listeners who just go out of their way to assign a "1" to EVERY song that's not in their own personal top 10 or something. Ridiculous.
Perhaps this type of music requires an appreciation for intricate harmonies and vocal detail, doo-wop, r&b, and historical (sentimental?) context to really be truly enjoyed...but...even without that, the vocals and tune are lovely and classic. And...inoffensive, if I dare say.
I understand "to each his/her own", and this song is not obviously enjoyed by every listener; however, I do not understand the strength of feeling against a song of this seemingly obvious merit that would warrant slamming it with a "1".
:?

Does anyone remember the theatrical cartoon from the 30s that was on TV in the 50s; with the Bird Iceman courting the Lady Bird, singing "I only have ICE for you"?
I always think of that when I hear this one. Great song.

Bill did it again, Mazzy Star followed by this. Nice. Before anybody complains remember that this is eclectic radio and this song is an all time classic.
I played it so much I wore out my dad's cassette to the AG soundtrack. When he got his first CD player I gave him the CD as a present. |

This has been wonderful - "Fade Into You" and now this. I'm floating away in my office chair, dreaming of late nights spent dancing with stars in my eyes.

Very dreamy, like floating on air. The vocals, the production and that slow, perfectly-maintained tempo... aahhh...
Say what you want but, most pop music today should be this good.

Wow, hearing this after Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You" has me questioning just when psychedelic music showed up ... this is trippy stuff, between the cheesy lyrics.
sh-bop, sh-bop!
That would have scared me right out of my dad's 1958 Buick, if I'd been born yet and had the chance to experience testosterone overload... but, I digress. |

Wow! Flashback!
No, not to the heyday of the Flamingoes, but right to San Francisco in the 80s, when the oldies station carried the A's baseball games. Since I've got baseball on the brain right now, this took me right to Red's Java House, where I'd have lunch and listen to KGO. Perfect. |
