Mods can move this back to its old thread, but thought music, and t.v. and film is different enough.....

One of my favorites from the mid Sixties is by one-hit wonders The Swingin' Medallions, and their hit called "Double Shot of My Baby's Love", it's not on jukeboxes as far as I know. I love jukeboxes, the real ones that grab a record and spin it around, not the internet ones so much.



I saw a post (on the Homeland thread) of Carmelita by a musician unknown to me. Carmelita is a great song by the fabulous Warren Zevon. Counting Crows do a good version too. Linda Ronstadt, possibly also.

Warren's the greatest, early, mid and late-career all great. As he was living but about to leave us, he guested on Lettermen for an entire week as the only musical or other guest for 5 days in a row, if memory serves.

[The younger posters are free to educate us on music more contemporary, like Noah Kahn or anybody else, just not Sabrina Carpenter, lol]

Considered scandalous lyrics at the time. haha

Like Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, back then for the radio play, the lyric "making love in the green grass, behind the stadium", became "a laughin' and a runnin', behind the stadium. The origin lyric was banned by many radio stations in 1967.
 


Another of the great one hit wonder songs of the 60’s which also yields a great music trivia question regarding the very Boston centric song.

What is the major irony inherent in The Standells having a hit with “Dirty Water”?

is about Johnnies fans, right now?

Saw Peter Wolf at the Fleet Center, closing out with Springsteen, singing Dirty Water.

Bartended in DC in late 70's, DJ would play this around midnight on weekends, wake everyone up. Thanks didn't know who sang it, the tune is addicting and once its in your head, hard to get it out of!
 
Speaking of Warren Zevon this one which he cowrote with his buddy Jackson Browne is one of my favorites of his - at one time I jokingly suggested this to my oldest daughter as out father/daughter dance at her wedding. She also liked the song but not for a father daughter dance and we wound up using the more appropriate Love & Happiness by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris.

So many great songs by Zevon. My favorite jumps around from Hasten Down the Wind to Desperadoes Under the Eaves to Accidentally Like A Martyr and on. But due to the circumstances Keep Me In Your Heart is the most impactful for me. And I think it was just a single entire show with David. He was a huge fan. When he received the Mark Twain Award Eddie Vedder did a killer cover of Keep Me In Your Heart for him.

Enjoy every sandwich, fellas.

Loved Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London.

Speaking of Eddie Vedder--did you see him tonight on SNL's 50th anniversary music show from Radio City. Thanks to keeping Peacock as I believe they may have a few games from the BE tournament. I would recommend the 3 hour show as they had quite a lot of talent. Besides Eddie they had Nirvana, Devo, B-52's, Snoop, Arcade Fire, Gaga, among others. Gotta say Cher did not look 78 years old. Jimmy Fallon hosted and began with Belushi/Ackroyd classic, I'm a Blues Man, dancing and all. If you still have your Peacock, it is a fun show.

I have insomnia a lot and happened to be up and noticed this thread. I have been feeling pretty nostalgic lately. Maybe it's thinking about the Final Four team as I get ready to be at MSG Sunday for what feels like a revival concert. Maybe it's turning 55 this year.

I knew very little about Warren Zevon so I did some research. I am familiar with Carmelita. It was definitely played at keg parties in college and Werewolves of London is an absolutely great song. I am a huge music fan and outside of sports it is a lifeline for me.

I have been noticing music videos on the Maher thread and thanks to everyone for posting music they enjoy that is a little before my time or maybe a genre that I am not as cultured in. I started listening to my "own music" around 1980.

I found this cover of Prince's Raspberry Beret(also some risqué lyrics) sung by Zevon and backed by REM members sans Michael Stipe by an REM side project band called the Hindu Love Gods. I am a big fan of both Prince and REM so this melds the three together.

My daughter watched a lot of Disney and Nickelodeon shows growing up so I am familiar with some of the "artists" those shows produced and I have to admit Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso is a little catchy.....

 
Yeah that was a great show. 2nd Nirvana "reunion" of the last 2 weeks, would have liked more than one song, they did 4 at fire benefit. Jack White killed the closer. Lady Gaga lonely island bit was hilarious, brandi carlile fantastic as always, David Byrne this must be the place was great. Eddie was good. I've seen him better. My wife also loved Mumford and sons, especially the boxer cover. Missed the beginning blues brothers will watch tomorrow.

have listened to that version of Keep me in Your Heart, countless times. Believe it was the last song he wrote.

This is the least dramatic and most interesting thread on this Forum!

Letterman had Zevon on for an entire show but not an entire week of shows, that is the correct. My bad.

His gifting his guitar after the show to Dave, in the dressing room made the host burst out in tears. He loved Warren.
 
Warren Zevon trivia, what R&R legend did Zevon work for and also was the driver behind Werewolves of London? Zevon wrote it with Waddy Wachtel and a third person whose name escapes me right now but the idea for the song came from?

And The Standells quirk regarding Dirty Water was that while it was a totally Boston centric song, the band actually hailed from Southern California.
