How can anyone not love the classic clip of Harry Belafonte singing "The Banana Boat Song"... with the Muppets?! Here it is.
Everyone sing along now.
"Come mister tallyman, tally me bananas. Daylight come and it's time to go home... Day-o. It's a day, it's a day, it's a day-ay-ay-o. Daylight come and me wanna go home."
Hit up this link here for 4-1/2 minutes of bliss -- Bonnie Raitt [/swoon] playing "Pride And Joy" at a tribute concert for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Especially catch her slide guitar solo about 2/3 of the way through.
Side note: what got me thinking about Bonnie was that I was outside doing some yardwork and had cranked up the Blues digital music channel on the tube. Heard a song I didn't recognize and was sure it was Bonnie Raitt, but it turns out it was a singer named Reba Russell. Never heard of her, but her vocals sure fooled me into thinking it was Bonnie. Keep your ears open for her.
Bravo! Bravo! I love this video! And I love this "Mai Tais on the Moon" composition! Very, very melodic and catchy tune.
Tikiyaki, I have a song request: please do a Tikiyaki Orchestra rendition of 'Pipeline'!
And yes, I know Agent Orange isn't the original artist of that song, but I like their riffy metal take on it! Yet I think you could do all kinds of cool things with the tune in the style that only the Tikiyaki Orchestra can!
I was just watching last Friday night's episode of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on my DVR, and the musical guest was Robbie Dupree doing "Steal Away." Anyone remember him and the song? He wrote it in 1980, and it's a flagrant ripoff of the Doobie Brothers song "What A Fool Believes" written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins one year earlier, in 1979.
Check 'em out.
First, the Doobie Brothers, 1979, "What A Fool Believes."
Then a year later, Robbie Dupree on the TV show "The Midnight Special" in 1980, "Steal Away."
Ripoff or stunningly freakish coincidence? You be the judge.
And you can see Robbie from last Friday night at this link.
thanks for the tip on reba russell. what's really shocking to me is that they don't have a real solid web presence. their website is very weak in my opinion and yet i'm sure they wanna get the word out. maybe they just have a bad manager...

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?

Funny, I have a done surf version of Elenor Rigby using the bass riff from Pipeline. I've done it with another band, but not yet with Tikiyaki. One day. It's pretty cool.
There are SO many surf bands in SoCal, and they all do pipeline. I think people bum out if we did that here...I DO love the original version of that song by The Chantays....so moody.
