Instant Lemongello Sells itself!

And speaking as we were on Monday of ubiquitous/archtypal late night New York City teevee ads from the '70s, please enjoy entrepreneurial crooner Peter Lemongello hyping his self-marketed double(!) LP Love '76.

As you would have seen him on WPIX channel 11 some average evening, after midnight, as you were taking a last sip of wine to mellow your cocaine buzz before bedtime.

In the meantime, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize© will be awarded the first reader who gleans the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's weekend essay question.

    That was "a new dimension in entertainment". Here I thought it'd prove to be hyperbole, but no...

    Oh by the way his song was I Am What I Am - my Christmas present in 1963
    God knows what my parents were thinking - Peter L. could not have been much worse .

    Peter's good, but he doesn't hold a candle to these blokes:

    Okay, kids -- nobody's close. To be fair, it's a really not too helpful clue, as you'll see when the post goes up tomorrow.

    It's a hilarious and somewhat contentious post, BTW. :-)

    Hilarious and contentious? That DOESN'T sound like you, Steve :-)

    How about Best or Worst Post-Elvis Acts With Food-Related Names?
