Saturday Matinee – Chameleon Climbs Water, Chameleon Attacks iPhone & Other Stuff
[via]
Chameleon frightened by a technological thingie.
Where do we go from here? I’m not gonna post Boy George, and the Utoobage offering of a band called “The Chameleons” held little interest for me. Oh wait. I got it.
The Lounge Lizards, 1988, “The Voice of Chunk.” This experimental group never quite hit, but they had a point. Some might axe me, “Bunk, do you really like this crap?” and my emphatic response is, “No, but at least they tried.”
This is the stuff that I like. Keith Ferguson formed The Tail Gators after he left The Fabulous Thunderbirds, so there’s the lizard link. Big guitars. Yep.
I like this stuff, too, maybe even better:
The Persuasions are an awesome a capella group. Vid from 1971, about the time that they signed their first recording contract, courtesy Frank Zappa.
Have a great weekend folks, and we’ll continue the summer sleigh-ride tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – Those Engines Are Entirely Awesome + Train Kept A-Rollin’
Train engines. Awesome. I mean really awesome. REALLY AWESOME.
Okay, I don’t like posting videos that aren’t videos, but Johnny Burnette‘s version from 1956 is worth it.
Yardbirds‘ version from 1968 is cool.
Aerosmith‘s version from 1974 is embarrassing in retrovision.
Tiny Bradshaw‘s original from 1951 is still the best, and it just dawned on me that we’ve posted about this song before.
And with that we’re out of here. Have a great weekend, folks, and be back here for more fun tomorrow.
Hot Time in Oklahoma – 1940
With A Hey Nonny Nonny And A Hot Cha Cha
Yep. She was on your Grandfather’s wish list when he was 14, and on your Great Grandfather’s wish list when he was 40.

Saturday Matinee – Socialism 101, Cheetahbot, Dweezil plays Frank & Frank plays Duane
Communism 101. I laughed, but I cried, because I laughed, because it sums up what’s been going down for a long time. Note that the girl goes Galt. [via]
CheetahBot is awesome. Now get it to make a U turn, and the time-space continuum will dismantle itself in shame.
Dweezil plays his dad’s classic “Peaches En Regalia.”
Zappa’s cover of the Allman Brother’s classic “Whipping Post” was classic. And with that we’re done for this classic episode. Have a great weekend, folks.
