Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

I'm posting this for our music players one of whom I am not, alas..
This guy blows me away. Most who pursue music do so with the ear alone.
They learn music history by learning one song at a time then playing it.
and over time aquiring an understanding of why this or that "works"

This guy is a music historian. In my view he is very good at what he does.

Flash music history test:

What is the second most recorded song in all of human history?

Tis guy can tell you! LOL


 
I believe this was on the first stones album...I could be wrong and you could pretend I'm not!
For me this is a masterpiece of Rock, that is comes so early in their career makes it
hard to grasp all that it foretells.

Same album...The stones at their peak of youthful cold bloodedness .

what a thing to say to or about a girl!!

 
Garshk, you got me there. Saw "Coneheads" again recently, dunno if the song is there.
Re watched it last night!
They use it twice!!
The first time as Beldar is driving his daughter and two friends to school, they drive him nuts with it.
The second is when he must snagel the garfark.

I so love being right! LOL
 
I was 11 years old. My mom and dad went out to the 'pictures' one night, and the next day I just happened to see the ticket stub for 'Midnight Cowboy'.
Later, while looking in the newspaper for a movie to go to with my friends, I noticed that Midnight Cowboy had been rated 'X'. LOLZ! How that evening changed my perception of my parents ;)

Now, of course, we watch Joe Buck and Ratso and wonder why it was ever an 'X' movie :)

Fun fact: it's the only X rated film to ever win Best Picture at the Oscars.

Trivia question: What is the only OTHER X-rated film to be nominated for Best Picture?

All that comes to mind that might fit is "the Graduate?" But I think that won.

Burt Lancaster did one where he played an immoral preacher that fairly smoked up the screen.
One line of dialog during his trial from a parishioner on the witness stand:

"Then he laid me down and struck lighting into me!"

My 11 year old ears burned!! LOL

I've won quite a few bar bets with this one. Most people quickly say 'Last Tango in Paris'.

WRONG!

It's Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' ;)

[I don't *think* that 'The Graduate' was rated X.]
