Saturday Matinee – AGW Explained, Pug Sings Batman Theme, Jackson Browne & David Lindley Rip Off Originals, The Everly Brothers Rip Off Jackson Brown & The Original Zodiacs Rocked
Saturday, 9 July 2011Okay, before some copyright dweeb tries to attack me for slander, that title is pure sarcasm. It’s a joke.
I hadn’t seen this entertaining summary, but apparently it’s been bouncing around the internest for a while.
[h/t whatever]
Here’s a Blast from the Past, and it’s exactly as I remember it.
[h/t John DiFool]
Here’s a video that I bet you’ve not seen. Jackson Browne with David Lindley, live on Buenafuente, singing a compilation of Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs’ “Stay” and “Love Is Strange,” a 1957 hit by Mickey & Sylvia. (Note that the original version of “Stay” was the shortest song - 99 seconds – ever to become a No. 1 Hit.)
Here’s “Love Is Strange” <—-click) as performed by The Everly Brothers:
“Stay” is perhaps the greatest doowop song of all time, given the amount of doo and the wopness, all compressed into a hit that runs a minute and a half plus 9 seconds. There is only one vid on the Utoobage of the original performance, and here it is:
That makes the requisite number of five videos complete. Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more stuff.

Tweety Bird Dead at 67
Wednesday, 15 April 2009
Palm Springs, California (Strutts News Services) – Long admired yet not forgotten, Robert “Tweety Bird” Balderstien passed away at the age of 67 at his ranch home in Palm Desert, Southern California.
Robert Svenson Balderstien, hatched in 1942 in Suffolk, Massachusetts, by immigrant parents, adapted to the stage early, despite his hydrocephelitic condition. Contrary to popular belief, his medical condition did not cause his speech impediment, and for years he battled the stereotype.
Balderstien also rejected the contention that he was female, and fought the resulting insinuations and innuendos all his life before retiring in seclusion in Palm Desert, California.
“I never said, ‘I tawt I taw a puddy tat.’ I have perfect enunciation, but Warner Brothers chose to overdub my voice, and I was stuck with it ever since.”
Longtime friend and companion, Sylvester The Cat, also of Palm Desert, gave a touching eulogy that ended with, “Yeah. I’ll mith him the motht. He alwayth thought he thaw me, and motht timeth he motht thertainly did.”
Poog?

Sometimes when we look for something new to post, we crank up the google mo-sheen and type in gibberish just to see what pops. So we typed in “poog” because it sounds funny. No explanation for it other than it appears on this mysterious site.
