My hubs wrote The Hurricane Song... didnt know about your channel till i was looking around at different stuff. 😅 he is still writing songs, singing and producing music....

I'm pretty sure that's Henry Winkler on the cover.

I recall this show when I was a kid. Saturday mornings were so wonderful. And The Hurricane Song may be sugary-pop but it was still better than most of the noise you hear these days.

I love this video. I’m just researching her vinyl releases for the first time tonight. Made a list of them all. Might be buying these soon hopefully.

Holy moly i freaking love this dude !

It is still better than all the 2000-2024 records garbage.

Wow! That’s…something!

It is literally my favorite album and I went out of my way to buy it because the songs slap so hard

So there's no a-peel?

its nice to see more people even know about this album. I can barely find information on him

Finally a good upload of this. One of my favorite bands, Brainiac, sampled this record multiple times on the song F**king with the Altimeter

Regarding the post nominals. “psm” is “post school of music”. It was a qualification that British Army Bandmasters had to take if they wanted to promote/commission beyond the rank of WO1 to become a Director of Music. It was a military qualification from the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall.

I think the album is great, however, their new look and album cover, were terrible, ghastly mistakes.

I own this album. I owned it for a couple years before I finally got around to listening to it. It’s not very good.

I wish I can see them on videos

Hello! Could you please upload the song 'Summertime' by Jo Anna? Many thanks!

You obviously haven’t heard The Shaggs. Their album “Philosophy of the World” makes this album absolutely sound operatic by comparison. It was common in the 50s and 60s for TV and movie actors who could act but not sing to record and release LPs. This was because the studio system of the day, which they’d signed contracts with, was trying to get every penny they could out of their actors. So they forced them to record so they’d have more product to sell. Another reason is that there was a perception by the public that if someone was famous and good at what they did (act) then they should be good at anything else (sing). It was a form of idol worship-they could do no wrong in the public’s eyes. Two more examples of this are Jack Webb (of Dragnet fame) and Patty Duke. Patty Duke’s singing in “Valley of the Dolls” was so bad that they were forced to overdub someone else’s vocals over it. There are several videos on KZbin that you can check out that illustrate this. So put these two things together, and you have a collection of albums that don’t even belong at the thrift store, but the dump.

Leonard did my favorite version of Desiderata

I knew a guy who saw Mrs. Miller perform... for the USO in NAM!

Well, at least, this is much better, than modern "music".

There wasn't just Mrs Miller in the 60s, there was Tiny Tim too.

That's not a UFO on the cover it's a scene from the movie Forbidden Planet of the The United Planet Cruiser C-57D landing on Altair IV. The same 1956 movie that brought us Robby the Robot. Oddly enough a movie that heavily used a theremin score.

I was a Happy Days fan and I had a lot of fun with this album as an 11 year old in 1976. It gives you a long version of the Happy Day theme, which is required on this type of record. The classic '50s songs were cool and entertaining and were sometimes used in the early shows. Of course I did mainly play side one over and over. The Fonzarelli slide and impressionist tracks are bad, but fun in a bad sort of way. The back cover of the album has a picture of the wall that had the graffiti on it that is briefly seen in the show's intro. And yes I used to stand the record up using the little support on the back like a framed photo. Problem with the cover picture is Fonzie would never have a button on this jacket and that was only added to the picture not on the actual jacket Also this is a period of time post American Graffiti and there was a definite '50s nostalgia thing happening that this show helped continue well into the '80s.

Sadly, Larry is not with us anymore. Same thing got him, that took a lot of other people. Take Me Home With You IS the stand-out song on this album, on the cast album, in the show, and it holds up to this day. The lyrics work for us hetero's just as well. Had the chance to meet Larry when the show was in DC, have a couple drinks and conversation, and he truly was, a Great Guy.

Jobriath, signed by Elektra, released his first album in 1973. He was promoted as gay, and is generally recognized as the first openly gay Rock artist signed to a major.

Promo>SM

All this time I thought people were saying "Nickelback" sucks, but now I know they mean "Nickel Bag!"

another great one kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3emgmmpgq6aaqs

here you is kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKXCgZeQqdmpnqc

Damn this is a cool video

HEY! We played the shit out of 'Coolin in the crib" back then. I played it once some years ago when I was Djing and the whole party stopped because most havent heard that song since 1988. I had a dozen people asking me for a copy that night. LOL

Hahahahaha I remember them got am I that fucking old top work 😅

May be your best commentary yet!!

i am who this album was aimed at, and had the sound matched the look i would have been all over it. there is some ok stuff on it though.

I love how it's disco, it's KISS, it's punk, it's new wave and it's not convincing at any of them.

I doubt how you listen to it would make a difference. It's Carlton deliberately trying to be as commercial as possible. I think he was also trying to appeal to the New Age market, as New Age was getting very popular.

I have it on cd as well on vinyl, I don't remember when or where I found it on vinyl though. Maybe played it a couple of times. Prefer the older Village People so maybe that's why it was such a disappointment. The album from 1982 was better but I think the last album from 1985 is the best songs nce their 70s output.

I think that with the right guidance and songwriting, they could have truly embraced new wave and carried their camp aesthetics forward, using the same theatrics as The Tubes and D E V O. Regardless how you feel about disco, The Village People had solid vocals, and they could have carried their music forward if they just had the right resources to help them evolve with the times.

Oh that glorious toupee makes this go from glorious to transcendent

I have known Randy Jones, "The Cowboy" from the VP since around 2000 when I was 19 (I'm straight befire the question is asked) and am pretty sure he wasnt around for this go around. Never even heard of this album before and yeah, it really isnt even bad. Like you said it has that melange of New Wave/Romantic and (poorly) attempted punk that make it fun. Outside of the awful beard tux, the two side profiles on the front arent any worse than Human League or any of that era stuff. Compared to the flaming war crime that was "Cant Stop the Music" this is a masterpiece

I heard they are having a reunion in hell.

Any work of art is art. This effort was not my cup of tea. Someone else's summer

Very funny review! subscribed.

Five 0 Clock In The Morning. Underrated song. One of my all time favorites from them.

Well, they had a few good songs, and the versions on the LIVE AND SLEAZY lp are an improvement on some of the studio tracks (most notably MACHO MAN).

One of the best records ever

You really gonna gloss over the fact that "Food Fight" is one of the greatest fake punk songs ever written?

I was gonna leave a comment, but....I got nothin'. Speechless.

Okay ... " Music To Watch Space Girls By " has now captured my curiosity!

Nice! I have a double LP of (I think?) the same recording but named "Captain of the Starship". There's some great samples in this recording..."focus on the sky, the sky, the sky and.... Feel the weight of your body being lifted off the grass..." :D
