The Legal Stylings of Skankbeat II

[Quixote]

In the old days I only got f_ed,
then my pimp stood when he shoulda ducked.
His estate holds my corpus
for illicit porpus,
and the johns all enjoy usufruct.

There once was a man from Nantuck' ...

(L-R) Skankbeat, Patrick Mooney, EndtheFed, JHV, Justinprime???

So, who knew Pete's biggest fans were cross dressers?

[notorial dissent]

Oh, that's just so sick and wrong on so many levels.

Don't worry. If it's anything like the original album cover, it's actually mashed potatoes.

I wonder how many of us here know what the original album was.

I wonder how many of us here are old enough to remember seeing it in stores when it first came out.



EDIT: Disc jockey trivia..... The original album hit the Billboard Top 40 pop album chart on June 12, 1965, was on the chart for 141 weeks, and was number one for eight weeks. I was a teenager at that time.

God help me, so was I.

And another piece of trivia: The "Lonely Bull" as recorded by "Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass" is note-for-note, intonation for intonation, and inflection for inflection, identical to the "Lonely Bull" recorded by "The Ventures." "Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass" admits to being a studio band, but "The Ventures" does not.

One is more in denial than the other.

[grixit]

"Sour Cream" is just one of the parodies of "Whipped Cream", i know of one other but its name escapes me at the moment. I think it was "Cheese Dip" or something similar.

I never knew that TJB was a studio band. I just sort of assumed they played clubs and open air events. But then i was 1) a little young to be considering that kind of thing and 2) more interested in mainstream rock, anyway.

But if the Ventures denied being a studio band while being one, that's a plain lie, not an attempt to redefine their studio as a "Sovereign Original Pre-14th Amendment Surfside Outdoor Performance Arena as Recognized under the Law of Nations".

Wasn't what I was referring to, but oh well, ewwwwwww!!!!!

Yes, and it all happened so fast!

[wserra]

You guys are old.

"Experienced." "Seasoned." "Veteran." There are plenty of more accurate ways to put that.

[Paul]

Like "ancient"?

[LPC]

Chronologically advanced.

Mature. Very mature. Perhaps overly mature.

[Paul]

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever.

Jurrassic?

I bought my copy a few years later, but I'm pretty sure I still have it.

I wasn't quite a teenager yet-- I was 11-- but I certainly remember seeing that album cover in "Harnick's Happy House," a record store on Avenue J in Brooklyn, NY.

I was 13. Alexander's, Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse, Bronx. What I remember about Brooklyn in those days was riding the front car of the D train to Coney Island, and seeing the top of the Cyclone.
