Humourest FAMILY GUY Yet

i hereaby give tonight's twilite zone/1984 riff a raving 5 thumbs up

what was the name of that song brian sang on stage with that kooky syth guitar....right as he introduced the song a neighbor got shot.

i'll watch it again via tivo, and try to recall the 1980s, but by that time, i was pretty much an ole fart (i'm 62 yrs now)

Best, Chris

thanx for saving me from embarrassment, as i was gonna guess marvin gaye, but he's dead by then i think, plus i suppose rick's de-liteful "muzak" is not bluesy

at least satirist mcfarlane had to pay him a royalty, and second start his career maybe

"earth angel" was very popular circa mid 1950s, and sung originally by the ....(platters?)

my brother had the EARTH ANGEL 45 rpm record in his collection, a 45 looks sort of like a cd with a biggg hole, and is made out of black plastic (vinyl or what?)

So, in other words... it looks _nothing_ like a CD.

(Vinyl most likely. Really early singles-- 1940's-- were pressed onto _shellac_. The "breakage" clause in many music artist-label contracts is a long-obsolete holdover from the days when a huge percentage of records shipped would be broken by the time they made it to the record store.)

i could not break a 45 rpm

but i myself broke many 78 rpm records, probably would be tres cher for collectors now

i can't recall all my parents' 78 records, but here are some i can vaguely recall my sorta destructive childhood in late 1940s and 1950s

spike jones, i think, or maybe not, but he was one of a kind, humorous- wild

a parody by stan freburg of lawrence welk

frankie lane, mule train, a terrific song which will comeback someday

i think uh....johnny ray, crying (or close)

clyde ? i luved his "jazz" called "sugar blues"--it'll comeback too-- the record was my favorite, it had beautiful color drawing-color on it, both sides, the other side was a jazz sax or a coronet or horn sound too, and a fine tune but i forget it now

many, i just broke, which i regret as i type but no lie, the damne things were amazingly not durable, and surely worth beaucoup bucks now in the 21st century as antiques

plastic

Clyde McCoy ?

yes, i subsequently recalled it while sleeping/not sleeping--now, what was on the flip side of sugar blues? maybe basin street blues, or is it st louis blues, no that's a pro team

The flip side of "Sugar Blues" was "Basin Street Blues." The record itself was a "Vogue Picture Record." Release was around 1947. One antique dealer is selling one on-line for $58, but sometimes they turn up on eBay for around half that. See http://tinyurl.com/3dwk8m to get a nice photo of both sides of the record.

Vogue made a couple dozen other records, too, but "Sugar Blues" was their most popular one by far.

baby schnooks

the sponsor of baby schnooks, and my also first recognizable word

jello

I always did hate Jane Jetson and that lame money gag she did.
