What are you listening to? Part XXX - Sexxxy tunes for sexxxy folks

Don't you just love it when a long forgotten absolute classic comes on the radio? (Especially if you're lucky enough to be in a vehicle with a decent stereo)

This was today's treat, and I cant believe this was recorded in 1960 by a British band, Johnny Kidd & The Pirates!

Way way ahead of its time!

The guitar and bass sound is so so good.



I reckon this track had a massive influence on the B52s, I can hear it, and Led Zep and The Who are on record about the influence this track had on them. Safe to say it was highly influential. Also apparently The Pirates, post Johnny Kidd, 'invented' that awesome guitar sound that Wilko Johnson from Dr Feelgood is usually credited for having invented. (Wilko admits he got the style from The Pirates in an interview.)

The most brilliant example of that style I've heard is on this track. This particular take too. The B52s used that guitar sound too. This is all connecting up!!!



I must check out The Pirates more.

Just had some weed to top off some soma and a couple of other things, and although it was already very nice, the weed and soma has changed my perception of this track, a track that I've already enjoyed listening to hundreds of times.

I have long since been amazed at how this song got ever past the censors to avoid a ban, not only because of what the extremely obvious lyrics more than seem to be referring to, but the combo has suddenly really really helped me notice, feel, and relax into the so nicely languid nature of the track, especially in the second half.. Noticed this much more than ever before. I think the track must have been aimed at people using substances, to get the full benefit.

It seems the censors obviously weren't aware of that either. I think the band made up some story about the track being about a woman, and that seemed to satisfy them. A ban on radio play and TOTP wouldn't have made any difference either way, in fact the track might have been an even bigger and more 'underground' hit if it was banned.

And of course the track is still loved and fantastic even without taking any substances.

I had an ex- housemate who was the world's biggest Melvin's fan. He died suddenly and left me with 15 XXL Melvin's concert tshirts. ( along with a literal shit ton of other crap to dispose of). Really great designs but I am strictly an L size so I gave them away.
If anyone here got a Melvins T-shirt from the Community Thrift Store in San Francisco a few years back, you have me to thank...well, and Mike, God rest his soul
