An exhaustive Google search has turned up the name (but nothing else) of the singer on this -- Jeanne Hayes -- and I've got to tell you, I'd pay good money to find out more about her. Seriously -- she's beyond authentic, and I'll just bet she was in some genuine street corner girl group and NOT a session pro.
In any case, as always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.
OK let's see. Funny songs about hygiene? Or, songs with the words, somebody, nobody, everybody in them?
ReplyDeleteSongs sung by good unknown female vocalists? Or, guys that look like Alfred E. Newman?
Songs about infidelity?
ReplyDeleteOr is that too on the nose?
It's actually a great idea, which I will definitely steal.
ReplyDeleteBut no, not this time...
:-)
The music was so spot-on, and so amazingly clear and clean for something distributed on floppy vinyl stapled into a magazine, that I hardly noticed the lyrics. If there had been a recorded version of Mad's American Graffiti parody, this would have been a perfect inclusion.
ReplyDeleteThe clue, the clue....songs written by writers not known for writing songs?
I think singer's Skeeter Davis, myself. As for the clue, I'd say we're looking for something flakey.
ReplyDeleteSongs about or mentioning hair?
ReplyDeleteNo Hit Wonders (great songs by people no one has ever heard of)?
What? Me Worry?
Songs of Mad-ness?
ReplyDeleteSongs about snow?
AP
And AP nails it.
