Pickled Egg Jukebox-Your Selections

?Legendary music played by a legend ?

I have this on my Lill Lindfors LP and IMO it is possibly8 the best track on the album. With words of course.

It took years and the internet before I found this.




*She does a good version of "Sundown" and "Bend In The Water"

There are so many. So much talent everywhere.

I've got these guys LP sitting here and nothing to play it on, saw them on stage, a long long time ago.

I have reached the final posting of my second DID 9 but I have a problem. When I just checked on my list to see what it was I realised I have already posted it just after the first DID 9 as the track that just missed out. So having already started writing this post I thought I'd exercise manager's privilege and bring on a substitute for the last track. I immediately looked to The Beatles catalogue to select a sub and then my troubles really began, how do you pick a Lennon & McCartney number as a substitute? Well I decided I just couldn't do that, so I picked this rather unusual track in terms of how it was recorded: (10 points for each of the three main things that were unusual )

Interesting to read the "story of a song" ...including the composition bits but for the recording these could be what you are after...

1. George Harrison added the sound of bubbles by blowing through a straw into a glass of milk
2. The backing vocals by McCartney and Harrison during the guitar solo were put through compressors and limiters to create a gurgling sound
3. In the absence of George Martin, the Beatles themselves were listed as producer, with Martin's apprentice Chris Thomas present in the control room to assist.

Excellent research there Neil and you have to take full points but the three unusual things I had in mind were, I think, a bit more obvious:
1. Song written by Ringo
2. Vocals by Ringo
3. Drums by John

I was going to put up the Berlin Philharmonic's version of this but thought you might prefer this version

?Rather apt considering some current affairs. Always liked that but as usual never listened to the lyrics, I hear the words and then they are gone

This strikes me as similarly apt. It was when released and more so now. Odd coincidence that John Kay is a refugee from the Soviet regime. (Joachim Fritz Krauledat, born in Tilsit, East Prussia, Germany (now Sovetsk, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia).

Especially the second part "America"



Not too political I hope.

I'm not sure why but relating the tale of my C5's antenna on viewtopic.php?p=646548#p646548 made me think of this song which I used to love as a boy:

Let us give this theme a try, see if we can't get a playlist of 10 mildy amusing tracks (yes its very unlikely that a hilarious track has ever been written)

What I would describe as gentle light entertainment all the better with a familiar chorus to join in with!

Everone has heard this one.....surely

and the PE punters can join in with the familiar chorus....."It all makes work for the working man to do"
Regards Neil

Back in 2017 The Gas Man Cometh kicked off a theme for 10 mildly amusing tracks.
Including this, and a connection with the Beatles to boot


Regards Neil
