Which is to say, before the Doobie Brothers got their greasy lank-haired mitts on the song and turned it into a sub-kitsch AM radio annoyance and bar band staple.

Song titles that assess the relative value of 1st century Jewish carpenters?
Or is that too specific?
45s with Dylan covers on the flip?
Yes.
:-)

Well, if its not songs about Jeebus, then songs with Alright in the title?
Just listened to "The Loss is Mine". You guys were good. Vocals are especially notable.
I have to part company with the description of the early Doobies as greay and lank-haired, tho.
Billy B:
Thanks for the kudos. As for the Doobies, hey -- they were a biker band originally.
:-)
Did you know that Skip Spence sort of discovered them? And was largely responsible for getting 'em signed to Warners?
I did not know that about Spence and the Doobies.
The band did turn into a lounge lizard act after Tom Johnston left the band and Mike McDonald took over.
I always liked Another Park Another Sunday, good song. Give it a listen.
As for the clue, I'm going for the obvious. Christmas Songs!!

That's so crazy, it just might work!
Originals that were eclipsed by the cover versions?
Also, these 'Birds' fellers are clearly ripping off The Plagues on this track.
Songs about motored vehicles? Or did we already do that a while back?
Underwhelming endorsements? Songs with characters from Coen brothers' movies in the title?
Maybe just alright Xmas songs?
No no no no no and no.

although on reflection Christmas just might have worked...
Anyway, ill give another clue as soon as I can think of one that doesn't totally give it away...
Songs that take a laid-back stoner-casual approach to serious issues?
Songs with spoken-word sections?
Songs with insipid choruses?
:)
Okay -- it has something to do with Jesus himself...
Okay -- it has something to do with Jesus himself...
Songs by people who like to proselytize?
Songs about shaggy miracle workers?
Songs about people with birthdays that get celebrated as holidays?
songs with Jesus in the title?

Songs about DFHs?
Okay --
One last hint, and only because it's Xmas eve.
But as I said, it's about Jesus himself.
As in...Jesus is just what, religiously?
At least in his youth.
