Phil reminded me of this classic from “Some Girls,” one of my favorite Stones albums. We played that album so often that if you held it up to the light you could see through it. (It’s also a shame that our crack team of webminers had to go to a Russian website to find Мик Джаггер и Кит Ричардс из этого шоу субботу вечером, что было жить из Нью-Йорка.)
So why stop there? Here’s a more recent version of “Shattered” from the same album.
From the album “Tattoo You,” the song “Waiting on a Friend” goes back to 1970, and I’m not even gonna comment on what Mick is wearing.
Otis Redding couldn’t get no satisfaction, even with Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn and the Memphis Horns backing him up.
Bette Midler’s take on “Beast of Burden” was excellent.
Have a great weekend, folks.
Whoever added the Boots Randolph sound track to this car chase gets our respect.
In 1964, The Beatles wrote “Stairway to Heaven.” [Found here.]
Clark Terry’s classic scat “Mumbles” [from M @ Blogmocracy].
Gotcha some Buckwheat Zydeco with a cover of Lee Dorsey’s “YaYa.”
Might have posted this before, but I like the song. Originally recorded by Richard and Linda Thompson, it still kicks. Have a great weekend, folks.
While combing through my leftover posts, I found this image of a post-ignosecond from the early 1900s. Can’t make out the make of the vehicle, but apparently the mishap hap’d in Australia.
Given the price of a state-of-the-art vehicle at that time, this was a very expensive oops.

I want this. It would make clothes dryers and salad spinners obsolete. [Found here.]
Leon Redbone is in a class all by ourselves.
Lonnie Mack and SRV with “Double Whammy,” for preview only.
Lonnie Mack with Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan, “Further On Up The Road.” Whatta classic lineup.
“Nah. That’s just a zebra with a tumor. Keep looking.”
[Found at Crappy Taxidermy. We assume that the zebra is the preserved specimen, otherwise it’d kinda be wrong.]
Dee Wallace (Elliot’s mom) hasn’t aged well.
Other E.T. trivia: Howie Hammerman provided E.T.’s belch. Thought you’d like to know.

Woof. Yeah, that’s 10cc doing it’s best Zappadoowop attempt with “Donna.” A few days ago, “Brian” reminded me that 10cc sang what I mis-remembered as “I Wanna Be A Bus.” (See this post.)
Here are The Donnas doing their best Ramones impersonation with a puzzling and cheap video.
From The Donnas, we thought we’d find a video of Ritchie Valens singing “Donna,” but no dice. Jump search to “La Bamba” and there’s just garbage and clips of Lou Diamond Phillips limp sinking. So here’s the greatly underrated Los Lobos‘ version of the Mexican traditional song.
Since we started off with a brief reference to Zappa, here’s a double header from a 1980 concert in France. The segue line is perfect.
Be back here tomorrow for some cool stuff.
