Songs that were crimes ....

[Shannow]

Not to take from the thread re "Rose Garden", as it's around the passing of a memorable performer.

There was a bunch of songs that my siblings and I called "Porridge Music", as it was the music that Dad would play on Saturday morning while he cooked porridge.

First up...

I LOVE this band!! I have mono copies of both their albums,plus a mono copy of their "Steve and Stevie" album that came out in 1968. I've been trying to find their "Steve and the Board" 45s,but they're really rare. Australia had some amazing music in the mid-late 60s:

 

[MolaKule]

[Stelth]

This sounds like stuff my Dad would listen to. I can't tell you how happy I was when his old turntable broke and he could no longer listen to his records. One of the happiest days of my childhood.

That was going to be my next one.

That's the (uncommon) original...the more-common version is the cover by Bo Donaldson & the Heywoods.

Paper Lace also did The Night Chicago Died.

Technically, a theme song:



But it can get stuck in your head. I have a running joke with a coworker where I'll whistle a few bars from this song to get it started in his head. Then he will thank me curtly. I haven't done that for a while, I'll have to do it tomorrow.
