Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Thanks for the heads up!
Edit - Should there be an apostrophe in "heads up"? If so, where? Is head possessive? Plural possessive? Why am I thinking about this?

I am going to go with no apostrophe. The phrase is not "head is up" so no contraction. And the "up" does not belong to the head. It's more like a short way of saying "folks, put your heads up because this dope thing is about to happen" so "heads up" is really just a noun and a verb. No apostrophe.

I think of it as short for "everybody put your heads up", so no apostrophe. Of course, then it should be "everybody put your head up", since each person only has one, so nevermind. This is the muddle that thinking can get you into.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's always nice to discover a new Herman's Hermits song. Especially one with a title like "Don't Go Out Into the Rain (You're Going to Melt)."
Do you have "It's Nice To Be Out In The Morning"? It's a Graham Gouldman gem they did in their movie Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter. Side note: if you haven't seen the movie - Mrs. Brown is a greyhound.

Heh. It's revealed in the opening scene. I have an abiding interest in British Invasion music movies, and some of them are superfab. After the two Beatles movies (and actually, I'd place it before Help!), the Dave Clark Five movie, Having A Wild Weekend is probably the best. It's John Boorman's first movie and has great music and some fantastic set pieces and it's surprisingly downbeat at times. But Cliff Richards and the Shadows and Herman's Hermits both made multiple movies. There's an excellent mod film, Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush that I managed to dig up in gray market DVD.
Also, I'm fascinated by Japanese Group Sound movies from the mid to late sixties. They're all basically like Monkees episodes, but mod and Japanese. I own one, Go Forward, starring The Spiders. They were the most popular GS band and did three movies. I think they had a TV show like The Monkees too. The Tigers also did at least one movie.
These are also available on the gray market.

Ann, that's a ferret.
No, Hec. Just heard it on the radio this morning. Though I do have a Greatest Hits collection.
"My Sentimental Friend" is prime sap.

Many thanks to Tina and Flea for clarifying my head up.
It's John Boorman's first movie
