“With a Girl Like You.” The announcer mispronounces the group’s name as “The Rutles.” Heh.
Here’s the Troggs’ original version of “With A Girl Like You” from 1967. The Troggs got their name from Troglodytes, aka, cavemen, which brings us to this:
“Troglodyte” was one of the worst yet most popular funk trainwrecks ever. Recorded in 1972, the Jimmy Castor Bunch introduced us to Bertha Butt of the Butt Sisters. Boom shakalaka.
And now for our Feature Presentation: “The Ape Man.” [Note that this is the 1971 original uncut version. Not for the squeamish.] _____________________

…that was covered by the Ramones. For a one chord song, it’s almost impossible to play without a vocal, and without a vocal, it’s not worth listening to.
Even the Oakridge Boys stole the line, but we have more class than to post that one, so here’s an ear cleaner instead.
Bette Midler’s version of the Stone’s “Beast of Burden.” Odd enough.
Classic scene from 1967’s “The Flim Flam Man,” starring George C. Scott, Michael Sarrazin, and the irascible Slim Pickens. Scott was only 40, and Louis Burton Lindley, Jr. was 48 when this was made.
Where do we go from here? Patton? No. Too obvious, so let’s find something Y’all haven’t heard in a while, also from 1967.
Mannix. What kinda name was that? A very cool one.
Ironsides rocked the courtroom, even before handicapped parking was invented.
The 2nd greatest TV theme song ever. Book ‘im, Danno.
Inane sitcom with a great intro. Very loosely based upon the great movie “Stalag 17.”
1965’s “Wild Wild West” intro. So what if it’s not from 1967. The animation, updated during the program, counts big time. Forget Robert Conrad. The real star was Ross Martin, aka Artemus Gordon.
Don’t know exactly who did it, but after careful consideration, we’re gonna award the most likely candidate: The lovely and talented Crystal!, known elsewhere as “Summergurly.”
Crystal nailed it with this great comment on this great post:
“Ahhhhhh! RUN for your lives! The giant angry insanely freakish wooly bear caterpillars are coming! Head for the hills! Ahhhhh!!!”
Congrats, Summergurly, wherever your are. Your knack for commenting surpasses my knack for nought. Feel free to roll around in your newfound glory, and be sure to brag about it to your peer group. You deserve it almost as much as we do.
