It's from a band that didn't exist. The T-Bones

wow, cool!

Amazing culture. A history of extreme violence, throat singing and very proper tea etiquette. The throat singing is somewhat hypnotic. But not my cup of tea

Thank you for continuing to broaden my horizons.

oh that's okay (if it is not your cup of tea)

i am not ashamed to say, i watched that video about five times...i really liked it....it sounded a bit (in a way?) like an asian irish punk
fusion ? (wow!)

anyway...i am just going to wander over to a place

Beautiful. I love the flute. Think I'll go listen to a few more pieces. Thank you.

Yes! Where did you find this? A yard sale? Or the Record and Tape Traders going out of business sale? I definitely remember it. At first I always waited for the lyrics to kick in. People tried to dance to it..until we realized it it was some kind of bad joke or something...we were never really sure what or who it was.
I think it was played a lot, maybe not on HFS, but on a lot of am stations while they were trying to dig up requests and I know it was used the same way at dances.
After a while they couldn't use it anymore, while digging through 45's, because people just moaned and stopped dancing and stood around! So the disc jockey figured out they could just play it when they wanted a break! It sent everyone running for the door as fast as possible to get away from it and cool off. Haha! Oh...it would stick in your head and drive you nuts! Thanks for the blast from the past, you have a real piece of history... but I don't think I can listen to it twice! It would be funny as heck to play at a party now and see the reactions!

wishes

enormous energies

remembers time

great philosophical confusion

realizations

greater strengths

creative potency

notions emerge

seemingly advancing slowly

trying hard to understand it

just some crazy cosmic tunes

pardon, maybe sometimes i am just possessed!?

I remember that TBones song. It was used in an Alka Seltzer commercial I think in the 60's. My late hubby Mike had the record of it and loved the song. You brought back a neat memory.

great piece of music though!

i am going to borrow this one that heraclitis posted,,,it is a good one!

As long as it was a good one ,that is what is important!

The history of this song is amazing....

One must first concede that the T-Bones originally never existed as an actual formal, organized band -- nor were they ever supposed to exist, except in the minds of listeners, as far as anyone involved was concerned. Rather, they were a name devised by Liberty Records producer Dave Pell and attached to generic surf and hot rod instrumental records put out by Liberty in the early to mid-'60s. The players on those records would have been a list to die for, in terms of getting them into an actual group: Leon Russell on piano, Steve Douglas and Plas Johnson on saxes, Tommy Tedesco and Glen Campbell on guitars, Ray Pohlman playing bass, and, of course, Hal Blaine on the drums -- and Perry Botkin, Jr. did a lot of their arrangements. Recording as the T-Bones, they did a pair of LPs in 1964, Boss Drag and Boss Drag at the Beach, which sold all right, coming as they did near the tail end of a craze that was already starting to wind down, and then moved into dance records for their third album, Do the Jerk. At that point, having established a brand and a name, and some success for the "group," Pell turned the T-Bones franchise and future output over to Joe Saraceno, a singer turned producer who had been doing great things in the latter capacity by way

and then........
Ironically, at that point, it was the performing T-Bones, who were still getting bookings on the strength of their playing and, even more surprisingly, their singing, who were flourishing. Whereas they had contributed anonymously to the two prior albums, on the final T-Bones album they had even managed to get some of their own material into the song lineup, complete with vocals. They also cut a demo around this time that would serve them in good stead a while later. the T-Bones played out their string with another few months' worth of shows (including an extended stay in Japan) before retiring themselves and the name. But a couple of years later, their old demo fell into the hands of Steve Barri, the former partner of P.F. Sloan and a highly successful producer in his own right (with all of the post-Sloan success of the Grass Roots to his credit). He liked what he heard and got Dan Hamilton, Joe Frank Carollo, and Tommy Reynolds back together, as Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, who went on to a whole new round of success in the ensuing decade.
