Do The Jellyfish



(Sorry, don't know why the thumbnail's not displaying, but the video does work and is well worth your time!)

As the good folks at PCL LinkDump noted, this clip is "From the 1966 movie STING OF DEATH, the greatest movie ever made featuring a half man, half jellyfish villain. If you enjoy close-up shots of girls butts in tight pants, then this movie is for you!" And, yes, that's Neil Sedaka doing the singing.

You should really click on over to their site, where they've also fixed us up with some fantastic screen captures. Tip of the cap to Thom Tex Edwards for bringing this to my attention.

Straightening out the TWIST!



Here's a great slice of radio history from WNEW as some uptight announcers from the station (with the exception of one kool kat) try to get to the bottom of all this TWIST madness.

Pay particular attention to the 3rd part of the show when DJ Pete Myers (aka the Mad Daddy) pops by.

Thanks to Howie Pyro of Intoxica for throwing this our way.

A Death In The Family



Jimmy Dickens - A Death In The Family

I have to admit that when I found this record, my hopes were high that the song was going to be some kind of demented country murder song. Why? Well, the jolting title and the fact that it was written by Bill Anderson (author of the country murder classics The Cold Hard Facts Of Life and The First Mrs. Jones) were all that was needed for some wildly groundless speculation on my part.

Sure, I admit that I was initially a little disappointed to learn that the song is actually about the misery of a shattered marriage rather than a cold-blooded murder. It still packs one hell of a punch, though.
