Saturday Matinee – Monkey Business, Blood Sweat & Tears, & Brenda Holloway
Monkey vs. vending machine. [Found here.]
Blood Sweat & Tears had a long string of hits in the 60s and 70s that included this one. “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy” was a cover of a song co-written by Brenda Holloway at Motown Records.
Here’s Brenda Holloway lip-synching “When I’m Gone” on the TV show Shivaree in 1965.
That should do it for this week’s video presentation. Have a great weekend, folks.
Saturday Matinee – Frans de Waal’s Capuchins, Russian Monkeys, Ska and The Specials
The Capuchin Monkey experiment is classic. Full video here, and it’s worth watching. Frans de Waal‘s joke about OWS is wrong, but the rest is good IMO.
Good God are these guys scary monkeys. One errant gust of wind at that height would blow ’em away. [via]
The Specials only had one album, but it put Ska back on the map for pop music. The late Amy Winehouse did a horrible cover of the song.
Let’s see. How do we wrap this up on a positive note? Got it.
The Specials Live in Glastonbury 2009. With that we’re out of here. Be back here for Real Gangster Time tomorrow for more inane fun.
[Update: Joanne C corrected me in the comments below. The Specials recorded several albums.]
