Not bad. Typical 60's style melody and beat. Neat hair cut.

Why does he have vampire fangs?

I was disappointed. It was so short.

And - why is it her uncle refusing to let her see the guy - where's her father? Why isn't he in this story? What gives? I'm so confused . . .

re: #4 buzzsawmonkey

Since this was 1967--the year before the Prague Spring and its suppression by the Soviets--is there any possibility that the boy wanting to break down his girlfriend's door with a cannon after her uncle forbids him from seeing her is a symbolic reference to the Czechs wanting to break down their Iron Curtain isolation in defiance of the Soviet edicts?

I would think there is a strong possibility.

No.

Charles,
If you're reading this, I'm just curious-- do you ever have a chance to just find a quiet spot, pick up an instrument and play tunes that YOU want to play? With all the work that you put into LGF, I was wondering if this might be something you do to relax and "get away" from it all--or is that just a thing us guitar dilettantes do? Man, looking at your musical profile, you sure have played with some great musicians over the years and I'm curious as to how much, if any, "recreational" music playing you do. Also, are you currently working on any musical projects. Please forgive me if you've addressed these kinds of questions in the past...
BTW, thanks for bringing other great musicians wider exposure on LGF.

Panic! Please clarify! Hurry!

A certain lawyer was quite wealthy and had a summer house in the country, to which he retreated for several weeks of the year. Each summer, the lawyer would invite a different friend of his (no, that's not the punch line) to spend a week or two up at this place, which happened to be in a backwoods section of Maine.

On one particular occasion, he invited a Czechoslovakian friend to stay with him. The friend, eager to get a freebie off a lawyer, agreed. Well, they had a splendid time in the country - rising early and living in the great outdoors.

Early one morning, the lawyer and his Czechoslovakian companion went out to pick berries for their morning breakfast. As they went around the berry patch, gathering blueberries and raspberries in tremendous quantities, along came two huge Bears - a male and a female.

Well, the lawyer, seeing the two bears, immediately dashed for cover. His friend, though, wasn't so lucky, and the male bear reached him and swallowed him whole.

The lawyer ran back to his Mercedes, tore into town as fast has he could, and got the local backwoods sheriff. The sheriff grabbed his shotgun and dashed back to the berry patch with the lawyer. Sure enough, the two bears were still there.

"He's in THAT one!" cried the lawyer, pointing to the male, while visions of lawsuits from his friend's family danced in his head. He just had to save his friend.

The sheriff looked at the bears, and without batting an eye, leveled his gun, took careful aim, and SHOT THE FEMALE.

"What d'ya do that for!" exclaimed the lawyer, "I said he was in the other!"

"Exactly," replied the sheriff, "and would YOU believe a lawyer who told you that the Czech was in the Male?"

The book's author, Song Hongbing, claims that behind world-changing events like the battle of Waterloo, Adolf Hitler's rise to power, President Kennedy's assassination, and the deep recession in Asia during the 1990s stood an intricate conspiracy aimed at increasing Jews' wealth and influence.

Song, a Chinese computer engineer and history buff who resides in the United States, writes that almost every defining historical moment has been instigated by Jewish bankers, and mainly the Rothschild family, which Song says dominates the global banking system, including the US Federal Reserve System

It has to do with freeing up the airwaves for the vast amout of cellphone and wireless traffic, as I understand it. Since the government controls the airwaves, how TV is broadcast becomes the government's concern.

I have no idea. I don't watch TV- I see the gowns online in the photo layouts done by yahoo and the like.

I do the same thing - one of my favorite things to do is check out yahoo pics for fashion photos. That's my humor for the day.

Not quite yet.
But FlakMusic is up for a vol2, and I am too, and I've had a couple of offers for assistance. Look for it to start happening in a month or two.

It's cheese product.

Yuck. Haven't seen one of those in years. Don't care either.

Very much so.

BTW, the scene in which both WC Fields and Peggy Hopkins Joyce are getting undressed in the same room, each unaware of the other's presence, the song playing in the background is "Look What I've Got," which was of course intended as ironic commentary.

Similar to the radio in "Five Star Final" playing "One More Time" when the second suicide occurs.

A popular amusement device was named after "Five Star Final." Name the device?

Patton on AMC.

re: #219 buzzsawmonkey

No idea; the film title, of course, refers to a sensationalist tabloid.

Pinball machine... early counter top model. Gottlieb named it that because they figure that the pinball machine was only a passing fad, and that this would be one of their last machines in their early line of pinball machines.

Of course, most pinball machines up to that time were counter top.

re: #161 davinvalkri

You want to see revealing gowns, rent any film--especially Paramount--from 1931-33.

For real fun, find a copy of "International House" and check out the floorshow number "She Was a China Teacup, But He Was Just a Mug," with its see-through Chinese girl outfits.

I've heard that in the 1925 version of Ben Hur, topless women can be seen in the background at the chariot race.

Welcome to the CBS Cares Colonoscopy Sweepstakes!

This is an actual sweepstakes and, if you are the grand prize winner, we will fly you and a companion to New York where you will receive a free colonoscopy. You will also be given three nights' accommodation in a suite at the luxurious Loews Regency Hotel, which will include the night before you are "awarded" the colonoscopy.

I use to collect antique coin operated amusements. Slot machines, pinball machines, bowling machines, if it took a coin, and was more than 25 years old, I was interested.

I've had three large collections in my life. Started collecting in 1974. Don't have them anymore, just 3 small items in my small apartment.

My main interest was in the restoration and repair of the machines, not playing with them. And of course the history.

First coin operated machine goes back to BCE. A holy water despencer in a Greek temple.

Then there is the ironic commentary in Airplane, when Julie Haggerty is dancing in a bar with someone stabbed in the back, and she thinks his efforts to point to the knife are how he is dancing, and imitates him.
The music: Stayin' Alive.

re: #236 buzzsawmonkey

There was a lot of nudity and near-nudity in the silents, and in the early sound films too--that's why there was the Code Crackdown of 1934.

Here's an example: Alice Faye doing "Oh, You Nasty Man" from 1934.
