’60s Music
Ides of March – Vehicle
"Hey, well I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan Oh won't you hop inside my car I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man I'd like to take you to the nearest star I'm your vehicle baby I'll take you anywhere you wanna go I'm your vehicle woman By now I'm sure you know That I love ya (love you) I need ya (need you) I want to, got to have you child Great God in heaven, you know I love you."
Don McLean – American Pie
On the Day the Music Died, listening to the song that gave the day that term.
Bob and Earl – Harlem Shuffle
They were playing this song on North Country Public Radio on New Years Eve, and it has good groove.
Frank Zappa – Peaches En Regalia
Alice’s Restaurant – Original 1967 Recording
Happy Thanksgiving! The Alice's Restaurant massacree took place a half century ago today, or so the song says. Don't get caught driving garbage around on this Thanksgiving, and certainly not dumping it over a cliff where you might get caught. This song is probably why they have large fences installed in Massachusetts near all of the highway rest areas, to discourage people from dumping garbage.
Herb Alpert – Jerusalem.
This Herb Alpert song 45 years ago was number six on the charts. Seems like a good way to round on the mid-week -- somber but relaxed.
