This helps tremendously. So, it looks like there are still a few left blank (unless I've missed something): Give Your Love To Me - Feeling No Pain - Skinny Minnie - Bill Haley? Louis Prima? What's A Girl Like You Doing In A Place Like This - "Feeling No Pain" was a single on Columbia by the Del-Satins, released in '63 or so. They backed Dion on some of his solo recordings after he split from the Belmonts. "Give Your Love To Me" is an unreleased tune by a garage combothat Jeff got from a guy who used to be in the band. I can't recall the name right now - the group was from Atlanta though. When the Lyres first began playing this cut my pal Eddie and I asked Jeff about the tune and he told us the scant details. "What's A Girl Like You Doing In A Place Like This" is actually "A Girl Like You" - it's found on the "B" side of the late 1964 single by Them on the King label, who later became (well, on record anyway) "It's Them", famous for the Lyres covering their "Baby I Still Want Your Loving" (one of the best Lyres covers... And no one mentioned the Lyres cover of Pete Best's "The Way I Feel About You", a staple of shows circa 85-86 when I saw 'em monthly...

Perhaps the modifiers help things. That only leaves London and the United States of America. Maybe we can eliminate the latter from consideration 'cuz they have a few words, rather than just one? Then only London is a problem. > BTW, I didn't know DMZ was a a place...I thought they took the name from the > army code word.... I was under the impression that DMZ was military terminology for "De-Militarized Zone". So, while a code phrase, it's also a place. To hear it in use as such, watch "Good Morning, Vietnam" as Robin Williams says that they're rockin' "from The Delta to the DMZ." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 12:27:07 -0500 From: "Lenny Smith" Subject: Re: Songs The Lyres Thaught Us Jeroen Vedder wrote: >OK gang, here's the list again, corrected with all the additional info >you lot were kind enough to donate.

Nothing like rewriting history >to suit your needs..." Yes I remember this well. It's worth remembering that for a while in 76-77, the Great British Establishment was actually genuinely shocked and peturbed by this new-fangled scary punk rock thing. The Pistols single was indeed kept away from the number one spot in the Top 20 (I forget what was actually the official replacement #1 but it was something fairly drecky) so as not to offend delicate royal/national sensibilities during Betty's Silver Jubilee week (mid-77). In fact ISTR it was quite unusual to hear any Pistols material at all on the radio for quite some time too. And, when the "Bollocks" album was riding high, even the title of the album could not be mentioned on radio because it contained a VERY RUDE WORD - Crapital Radio and Radio 1 for example had to either bleep it out or replace it with something else (the word "precisely" from the speaking clock was a popular choice). And as for the Pistols on Bill Grundy (late 76) well we've talked about this before but let's remember that it was all the fault of QUEEN, who were booked to appear dropped out at the last minute. THose jokers at EMI just sent along the Pistols as a substitute band.

Nope, back the 80's when Mr. T was one of (if not the most) recognizable celebrities in popular culture, he recorded and album called "Mr. T's Commandments" "Mr. T COMMANDMENTS Following close on the heels of such influential recording artists as David Hasselhoff and William Shatner, Mr. T stepped up to the microphone and bellowed out a seven song children's album to complement his 1984 book and video: Be Somebody, or Be Somebody's Fool. The album was everything you'd expect (and more), containing such memorable hits as: "Treat Your Momma Right," "The Toughest Man in the World," "No Dope, No Drugs," and the uplifting "Mr. T, Mr. T (He was made for love)". This was a staple of my college radio show. You see the album cover at: http://sucka.users2.50megs.com/stuff.html Scroll down a bit. It's worth it. __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 10:38:17 -0800 (PST) From: Iam Fuzzco Subject: Band Name Rules (was Boston!) >>What is it about geographically named bands that >>makes them suck? Kansas...Boston...Chicago... > many don't...a few exception are... the Hamilton > Streetcar, Detroit Cobras, Motor City Five, San > Francisco Seals, United States of America, > Golden Calgarians, London, New York Dolls... Ah-hah! You're missing the obvious here! Note that most of the sucky Geographic Reference Bands are singular, whereas the good GRB's are plural. A general rule is that a good band will: A) Start it's name with "The" B) End it's name in "S" C) Or Both A & B D) Or end with a number I know what you're thing "What about Love? What about Big Star? What about..." It's a general rule. There are exceptions, but for the most part, the "The-S Rule" works. For any good band that's singular, you can name 50 that conform to the rule. If you still don't believe me, remember 80's hair/metal bands like: Kix, Ratt, Winger, Mr. Mister... __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 18:49:44 From: "tiemen kuipers" Subject: Re: Mr. T Commandments >Wasn't there a band called "Mr. T's Commandments" as well from the 80's...I >remember them being on a What Wave tape.... > > >James B.

You forgot Alabama. And let's also not forget the worst of them all: MISSOURI. Ok, maybe Boston WAS worse... You could also throw in Nashville Pussy, as far as I'm concerned. Knoxville Girls, on the other hand, are fairly decent. kopper The Wayback Machine http://www.inlink.com/~kopper ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 19:23:12 -0000 From: "Rick Kvoriak" Subject: Nederbeats at the Paradise Lounge Tonight Tonight in San Francisco, CHICLET, a night of 60s music.
