So truly ahead of his ...Very cool Scratch tune BBJ. So truly ahead of his time. <br /><br />"Return of the Super Ape" title reminds me of a thing several of my girlfriends and I did with a Junior High School band from Ontario, California named the Scamps. They used to be called the Electric Five circa grade school post Hard Day's Night. Bad name which was understandably short-lived. After the Scamps they became Liquid Trigger. Never did anything 'cept a few local and High School gigs. <br /><br />They were cute guys with long hair when few had it. One of my girlfriends, Kari, who had a very deep sexy voice, was going with their bass player. I made out with the lead singer, guitarist once. He got aroused and proudly showed me his thing. It was frighteningly huge! <br /><br />I've never seen anything like it before or since. He was beyond Magnum. Seriously. This guy needed a bread bag for a condom. I touched him and he went off instantly. He should have had Louisville Slugger tattooed onto the shaft of that bruiser. No way was he getting near me with that thing.<br /><br />At any rate, they would sometimes practice at Kari's because her dad had a farm and a big shed out back where you could make as much noise as you wanted. They brought a Revox reel-to-reel with sound-on-sound and we fucked around, composing a very wretched song(?) on the spot. It was sort of a story-telling talking R&B ala Them. <br /><br />The story line was about a naughty young girl who decides to get her gang bang groove on. She retires to a cave with four of her boyfriends, portrayed by members of the band. She, portrayed by my deep sexy-voiced friend, enjoys each guy's turn more than the last and ends up in an ecstatic delirium. But she still laments that she hasn't gone completely "Ape Shit."<br /><br />Well that's when our juvenile endeavor gets really stupid. You see, the cave is the dwelling place of Bigfoot, you know, the Sasquatch. While she is lying there in ecstasy waiting for guy number one to make his return, Bigfoot spots her lusciousness and takes full advantage of her making her go completely "Ape Shit."<br /><br />The bassist provided beastly sounds of procreation while I was the one to provide the female orgasmic sounds. The song reaches it's accelerating rhythmic climax with me declaring in orgasmic tones, "Make me go Ape Shit. Ape Shit, baby. Ooo yeah I'm gonna. I'm wanna... go completely "Ape Shit. Ape Shit. Oooooo. Ape Shit. Yessss. Ape Shit. <br /><br />Each panting "Ape" and "Shit" is panned from left to right. How stupid, right? What were we thinking? Ape Shit? How unsexy is that? But it was really funny and I was pretty dramatic and convincing. I can't tell you how many times we replayed it and laughed our asses off. But you really needed to be there.<br /><br />I had a cassette dub of that travesty up until 1997 when it apparently got lost in a move. It was really crudely recorded and stupid. But we had so much fun making it. Wish I still had it.<br /><br />A few years back, I ran into a guy who was friends with members of the band and had heard the tape. It was at a biker bar in Carbon Canyon during a Rick Derringer gig. He looked at me with an ear to ear grin and said, "We're gonna go Ape Shit!" before busting out in laughter and hugging me.<br /><br />And speaking of "ahead of their time," Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are at the Bowl tonight with Sun Ra.<br /><br />I'm very late. Gotta run.<br /><br />Vickie RockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-78022351487143107962013-08-04T06:42:27.819-04:002013-08-04T06:42:27.819-04:00Yes. More!

Think I have a photo of that mirror with a vast quantity of evil Peruvian nose candy upon it somewhere around here. It is a rather unique and expensive promo item from Janus Records. Very thick ¾ inch glass. Must weigh about five pounds with felt bottom. Cover art is under the glass. My older daughter took it to her place. Hmmm. I don’t care as long as she doesn’t sell it on ebay. Used to be in my study right next to my Warner Brothers stash box and Capitol Records executive ash tray, which is a real beauty.)<br /><br />Btw, I never listen to most of this shit either. Been there done that. Time for a past midnight breakfast and Sierra the Serial Killer. My nineteen year old’s forcing me to listen to it. She just got home and she’s totally sober.
