I thought those "Ooohs" were coming from kids. I'd also been trying to figure
out of the "Hey!" came from the Art of Noise song "Close to the Edit" but I
don't have a copy at the moment to compare it to. I'm pretty sure that the
horns come from the The Spy With a Cold Nose soundtrack by Riz Ortolani.
Mr. Unlucky>>
The voice saying "hey" is from the Big City Orchesxtra sound effects library
included on their "Greatest Hits and Test Tones" cd, which also includes a
vocal performance by me. The voice saying "do it do it do it" is an
obsessive-compulsive girl on tv. The voice(s) saying "ooh" is from a mid-60s
chicago r&b record that has been discussed on this list before. And Mr.
Unlucky wins a genuine no-prize for his correct horn pick. Congratulations!

Probably a good place to note that the book I co-edited with Kim Cooper,
Bubblegum Music Is The Naked Truth, is now out and available. History of
bubblegum with lots of interviews and features on odd international folks
(like Mexi-Gum hero Robert Jordan). Writers include: Peter Bagge, Alec
Palao, Domenic Priore, Chuck Eddy, Metal Mike Saunders, exotica lister
StillGloria and many more. I wrote pieces on The Archies, A Brief History of
Boy Bands, Gum & Glam, Gum & New Wave and some other stuff.
Sorry for the blatant hype, but it should be of interest to many listers.

I usually try to post about records after I've actually listened to them
and can do a little book report kind of thing. But I haven't been doing too
well at that lately... and there probably won't be much to say about these
comedy records, so here's a plain ol' score list. I only need one ear for
most of them.
Baja Marimba Band - Baja Marimba Band (mono)
Harry Belafonte - Belafonte Sings Of The Caribbean (mono)
Dave Brubeck Quartet - Countdown - Time In Outer Space (mono)
Bill Cosby - I Started Out As A Child (liner notes by Allan Sherman)
" - Why Is There Air? (liners uncredited, read like Stan Cornyn)
" - 200 M.P.H. (liners definitely by Stan Cornyn)
" - Inside The Mind Of Bill Cosby (liners by Gil Rodin)
Henry Mancini - The Versatile Henry Mancini (mono)
Bob Newhart - The Best Of Bob Newhart ('Button-down Mind' stuff)
Lily Tomlin - This Is A Recording (Ernestine the operator on the cover)
Various - Jazz Poll Winners (mono, Columbia, artists: Miles Davis, Duke
Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Kenny Burrel, Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Les
Brown, Don Elliott, Charles Mingus, J.J.Johnson, Art Van Damme, Gerry
Mulligan, The Hi-Lo's, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross)

That track is by far the worst on the album IMO. It's like all the
annoying bits of Coldcut, DJ Food, the Double D and Steinski "Lessons",
etc all rolled into one. Everyone keeps mentioning all the sampling, but
it probably doesn't sample any more records than the average hip hop
album, but the samples are in big chunks and more obvious, and there's a
long list of cleared samples on the cover. The rest of the album is
nice, but a bit emotionless.

I finally managed to finally find myself a Gameboy... The larger cost was
having to
listen to the store owner go on for a full 20 minutes relating his own
conspiracy theories, somehow focusing on how the Jews signed a deal with
Hitler, Something about saving 50,000 to go t Palestine along with $100
million which they then supposely used to buy machine guns from New York
gangs. I didn't catch th especifics as I became preoccupied with thinking of
ways to garciouly leave the place.. Yes Mortitz, I went back THAT store...
I'm a bit scared as the owner remembered me from the last visit! Actually
he moved into a windowless basement down the block but strangely it's a 500%
improvement over the horrible windowed space it was in before, particularly
as light levels go. You could almost spend some time looking through the 7'
high piles of records, while not freezing in the process or losing your
eyesight. I may give it a try if I have a day to spare... but no
promises...

Joan Bove
NEW YORK (AP) -- Joan Bove, who discovered Clairol hair coloring in Paris and introduced it to American stylists in the 1930s, died Saturday. She was 99.
She and her husband, Lawrence Gelb, traveled to France in 1931 in search of new business opportunities. They discovered a new kind of hair coloring called Clairol.
The pair bought $200 worth of Clairol and tested it at Abraham & Straus, a New York department store. Soon, the Clairol company set up offices in Manhattan.
While promoting their discovery throughout the country, the couple chose to call the product a tint, instead of ``dye.'' At that time, it was still taboo for American women to ``dye'' their hair.

Bob Ferguson
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Bob Ferguson, who wrote the standard ``Wings of a Dove'' and produced records for Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner and other country music stars, died Sunday of cancer. He was 73.
Ferguson, a native of Willow Springs, Mo., was hired in 1955 to produce films for the Tennessee Game & Fish Commission. He worked there until 1960, when he wrote and produced the No. 1 hit ``Wings of a Dove'' for Ferlin Husky.
As a staff producer at RCA Records in the 1960s and early '70s, Ferguson worked with artists like Parton, Connie Smith, Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass, Jim Ed Brown, George Hamilton IV and Archie Campbell.
He wrote ``The Carroll County Accident,'' a No. 2 hit for Wagoner. It was named the best country song of 1969 by the Country Music Association.
===========
Sivaji Ganesan
MADRAS, India (AP) -- Sivaji Ganesan, an Indian actor who appeared in more than 170 films in three languages, died Saturday. He was 77.
V.C. Ganesan, as he was originally known, began acting in his teens. By the late 1940s he was playing lead roles in the theater.
Ganesan made his screen debut in the 1952 Tamil language film ``Parasakthi.'' He acted in films in the Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam languages.
Over the years, he developed an intense style of delivering dialogue. Indian trade journals called him the Marlon Brando of South Indian cinema.
In 1996, the Indian government gave him the Dada Phalke award, the country's highest honor in the entertainment industry, for his lifetime contribution to Indian film.

Boring I know, and I see so many of records in charity shops and the like.
Can anybody help me remember the name of the track and LP where Tom sings
with the trumpet and laughs a great deal as the trumpet puts him off? And
other than that LP are there any TJ LPs worth looking for? I have Looking
Out My Window on a 45 which is fantastic but was produced by Keith Mansfield
so its not surprising. Is there a whole LP produced by Keith Mansfield with
that track on it? What I'm driving at is that I see so many TJ LPs that I
might actually buy one one day, but which one?

I can't remember the actual records but Tom does a great version of "You
keep me hangin on"
Also "Venus", "This is a man's world", "Sugar Sugar" (he copies the Wilson
Pickett version, not the Archies version), "Lodi", "Keep on Running",
"Mohair Sam".
I'd buy the records with those songs.
