Terangeree, early August is “I’m Henry the VIII, I am” by Herman’s Hermits, but most of July seems to be Satisfaction.

tyro rex @ 19:

Thee and me must be twins, or near enough.

Ah, the bleak midwinter of 1965… I was a bit too young to remember it, though.

With the exception of DeeCee and (to a lesser extent) Dr Cat and Paul Norton, you’re all _so young_.

My particular tune is something called “The Thing”, recorded by Phil Harris. I’ve never heard (of) it, and I don’t think I want to.

“Moonlight Cocktail” by Glenn Miller

With Singapore lost, Darwin bombed, the 6th & 7th Divisions still heading home after Curtin (& Evatt’s) cable battle with Churchill, MacArthur still in the Philippines and the only Aussie troops between us and the Japs those whom the defence forces would not normally taken … not the most appropriate of tunes! That bit of King David’s psalms – “Out of the depths have I cried to thee, O my Lord …” was more in tune with the times.

Nor would “Moonlight Cocktail” have been appropriate a few days later when the troop carriers reached Perth and Macarthur flew into Brisbane. There’s a more appropriate bit of Georg Frederich Händel that’s more in tune with the almost hysterical joy of Oz newspaper headlines.

Satisfaction ( I can' get no) was tops when I popped out. It's been covered by some 'interesting' acts (Vanilla Ice, Britney Spears and Cat power) but the Devo cover from '77 takes micknkeef's rock and makes it all jerky.

Well, I was born to the strains of Bobby Darin’s version of Mack the Knife, a song whose original lyrics were written by the well-known communist Bertold Brecht. Graeme Bird would say that this is not a coincidence.

Oh priceless – I got All Shook up, which is really going to horrify my old Dad (still living) who always hated Elvis with the fire of a thousand suns. I can’t wait to tell him.

Yes that does mean 1957. There was a lot of wonderful bebop going on in that year too though.
