Downloading my old vinyl and came across this and it made me smile, as I remember thinking at the time how they must have struggled to come up with this fourth line of the chorus.

Bobby Jason Wall To Wall Heartaches.

"Wall to wall happyness"

"Wall to wall tenderness"

"Wall to wall lovelyness"

"Wall to wall huggyness"?

Can anybody think of a worse lyric?

Isn't that "Wall to wall uglyness"?

No he definately sings huggyness. Personally I would have put in sweetness.

The one in the middle is for coffee, weak or strong, Mikey. The record is a Detroit classic.

Im not keen on lyrics that tell a story and particularly thinking here about Little Johnny Blair.

It doesn't make me wanna dance but more sign up for a monthly donation to "Save the Children".

I remember being a kid and thinking 'Sweeter Than The Day Before' was titled 'Sea-lions Ten Feet Tall.'

Quote Barry

I did actually see ten foot tall sea-lions one morning on the way home from Wigan - but that's another story !! :rolleyes:

Roy Handy - Baby That's a Groove

Sweat was poppin' off of my face

Fish and chips were all over the place

You shoulda seen my baby move

Hey, hey, hey, we got us a groove.

WTF ???????:chinstroke:

By a country mile, The Magnificent 6 'Neither Will I' on Dial. I quote:

"So close

No breeze could blow between us

So tight

You couldn't part us with a Tommy Gun

Standing in the need of each other

Like a flower

Standing in the need of the sun"

WTF were they thinking? The verse as a whole is well done and suitably delicate for an otherwise nice and gentle harmony ballad, but 'kinell, that line...blink.gif

Been to Detroit a few times and it's the only US place I know where in some diners you can get fish and chips and written as such on the menu. They also have malt vinegar on the table which is something you have to ask for elsewhere and then a lot don't have it.

I believe it's something to do with Canada [Windsor is it?] just over the border.

Lynn Varnados Wash and wear love - almost every line - horrible , like the backing track though.

Mick

It's a horrible record full stop...though Cliff on one of the crossover threads reckons the pinnacle of soul music and I'm mental for not appreciating it. Pile of sh*t.

Chapter 5 - "You Can't Mean It"

So look before you leap,

And count your blessings,

Instead of sheep

"Shear" poetry!

Simples ......

Smokey Bear ( often unofficially referred to as Smokey the Bear ) is a mascot of the United States Forest Service , created to educate the public on the dangers of forest fires , hence the reference in " SB " .

Another lyric gem ......

I think if it had different lyrics it would be a much sought after record.Carl Willingham says i should play it out at venues but i am very hesitant.

Disagree one of the great lines, just love it.

The Magnificent 7 record is shameful. Not only are the lyrics inane but the lead vocal is laughable. Quite possibly the worst Ersatz Soul voice I can think of.

I have to admit I really like the version of "Ooh Baby Baby" on the other side though.

Going back to the original post I wonder what the reaction to the Bobby Jason 45 would be these days if it were a new discovery? Tar and feathers would be called for surely.

I know people will respond with the old 'but it's a dancer' line, but come on, it's just a piece of crud.

I don't really have a problem with pop being played in the name of Northern Soul: some of them, like Sue Lynn, Dana Valery and Joannie Somers are pop masterpieces, but the Bobby Jason record fails on practically every level on which a piece of music can be judged. Unless you're a masochist.
