Connie Stevens, Sixteen Reasons<\/a>.  With footage from David Lynch, "Mulholland Drive."<\/span><\/p>\n

Simon and Garfunkel, 59th Street Bridge Song<\/a>. What a great song!  Slow down you hyperkinetic hustlers, you're moving too fast!<\/span><\/p>\n

Cannibal and  the Head Hunters, Land of 1000 Dances<\/a>.  This one goes out to Tom Coleman who probably danced to this at the El Monte Legion Stadium<\/a> circa '65.  "Be there or be square!"<\/span><\/p>\n

Question Mark and the Mysterians, 96 Tears<\/a>.  Is that a Farfisa organ making that cheesy sound?  This one goes out to Colin McGinn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby Darin, 18 Yellow Roses<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Cannonball Adderley, 74 Miles Away<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Chicago, 25 or 6 to 4<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Frank Zappa, Twenty Small Cigars<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Waits, Ol '55<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Feelgood, Route 66<\/a>.  Energetic and attitudinal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Simon, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Simon, English major, was a wee bit pretentious in some of his '60s songwriting. Case in point: Dangling Conversation<\/a>. But I like it; if I didn't I wouldn't link to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

And we spoke of things that matter
With words that must be said
Can analysis be worthwhile?
Is the theater really dead?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Billy Ward and the Dominoes, Sixty Minute Man<\/a>.  Explicitly sexual. I don't need to explain to my sophisticated readers what 'rock and roll' means.  Some say this was the first R & R record. Others cites the following number. I myself take no position on this weighty question. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ike Turner, Rocket 88 <\/a><\/span>The video features footage and 'legage' of 1950's sex kitten Bettie Page<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beatles, When I'm 64<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dave Allen, Highway 61 Revisited<\/a>. Ever hear this version? No you haven't, which is why you need Uncle Bill's Saturday Night at the Oldies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
