Wild Thing

When I heard this song from the Troggs, when I was growing up, I thought that it sounded pretty cool. The music sounds sharp and kind of twangy, with a bit of a rock edge, which made it sound less like some of the other 60's songs, that were out there in 1964.
I was a big fan of Sam Kinnison as a stand up comedian, but when he decided to do a music video, of the song "Wild Thing", I thought that he was even more hilarious.
I included the Troggs original version, of this song, because Sam Kinnison's version, is more like a humorous parody of this song. Oh, and he could sing, but instead, preferred screaming :)




Sam Kinnison Wild Thing



Did you recognize any of the musicians in this video? I notice that two front men, were no where in sight. Do you know who they are?

Blue Monday

This is one of the coolest sounding synthesized songs, made with pre-recorded sounds, which were played on keyboards. I wanted to use a live video, so that you could see, what could be done, with electronic keyboards, during the early 80's. I believe that this type of music, was the gate way, toward the 90's alternative music trend.



Do you agree, that certain types of music, from an earlier decade, plays a key role into the next music trend, of the next decade? Even if you don't agree, I would still like to hear from you.

Devil Inside

I was saddened, by the fact that the lead singer of INXS, Michael Hutchence, was found dead, back on Nov.22, 1997, from what the coroner says, was a suicide. People who were close to him say, that it was more likely, an accidental death, resulting from auto-erotic asphyxiation. The other being that someone had killed him, and made it look like a suicide. He was only 37 years old.
This song is one of my favorites. It has a totally rocking sound to it, with a bit of truth within the lyrics.



What are your thoughts about Michael's early demise? Feel free to leave a comment.
