From 1965, please enjoy quintessential frat-house rockers The Swingin' Medallions and their still enjoyably woozy morning after classic "Double Shot of My Baby's Love."
I should add, to my utter amazement, that these guys are still at it. And that none other than Bruce Springsteen, who knows from this stuff, actually asked them onstage to perform the tune with him just last year. (Here's the link -- the video's not great, but you'll get the idea).
In any case, as always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
A classic! I love how you can hear the off center pressing in this vid! It makes me jones to get my turntable set up soon.
ReplyDeleteBest frat rock songs.
Songs with shooting in the title.
Great cheesy organ riffs.
Trey
Yeah, I liked the off-center pressing too.
ReplyDelete:-)
I always hated those wobbly sounding off center 45 pressings. Nice turntable in the vid.
ReplyDeleteOh, 60's party songs? Nah! You kinda got me on this one Steve, can't think right now, maybe later.
Farisa Beat?
ReplyDeleteLove as drinking or drug metaphor? or Disease?

ReplyDeleteI'll take "double-sided hits" for $200, Alex...
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me - there used to be a vaguely "new wave" group in SF in the late 70s called "No Sisters" that consisted of four guys who claimed to be brothers and all wore Elvis Costello-type specs who used to do a killer version of "DSOMBL" to close their shows...
ReplyDeleteOkay, in the interest of full disclosure, our friend Trey nailed it first thing out of the box.
ReplyDeleteI have discussed this with him off blog, and his coveted PowerPop No-Prize has already been dispatched via stoat train.
