Every time I'm reminded showaddbladdy existed, I get livid.

Good god, that is a contender for the worst band name.

Second to Limp Bizkit.

That's a very 1a/1b kinda thing.

Yeah probably. Showaddywaddy is only taken from a doo wop style backing vocal and for a rock n roll tribute act it's ok. Whereas Limp Bizkit is just fucking dumb.

As you should.

This story on Everything But the Girl recording a new album is written like they haven't seen each other in twenty years instead of, you know, being married and having raised a family together.

Not terribly keen on the first song from it. Just not my thing.

I figured you’d be more open to it. I’ll still get the album when it comes out—Tracey Thorn can sing the phonebook as far as I’m concerned—but I know I’m not the target audience.

I just did a deep dive on this board's history of discussion Showdaddydaddy and it's 90% older English board members talking whimsically about them and 10% Wolter basically saying "this is pretty good stuff."

Check out Under the Moon of Love. That, along with Silver Lady by David Soul and Daddy Cool by Darts were the songs that got me into music, big time.

I did give Under the Moon of Love a spin and then listened to the original and then wondered why I bothered listening to the cover.

I don't even think I've heard the original.

What I always found funny was Mud had already recorded it for an album in 1975 a year before Showaddywaddy had a hit with it.

But Matey is spot on saying the Curtis Lee original 1961 version produced by Phil Spector is the best.

Damn but that looks like a little Siouxsie.

Some of those are extremely unsettling.

Some of the others were pretty good too.

The Iggy was terrifying.
