Dee Dee Sharp 'Mashed Potato Time'

It's about time someone set up the Internet dance craze database or something where we can research the various moves. I suppose I ought to list a few off the top of my head - the Watusi, the Hully Gully, the Shimmy, the boogaloo, the Pony, my mind is gone blank now - I do know loads of them...honestly.

Don and Dewey 'Farmer John'

What a song? I havent heard this - the original version - before and it's great. Where did I hear it? WFMU of course. Don and Dewey wiki

'Girl You Captivate Me' by ? and the Mysterians

We popped in to the Handsome Llama leaving party - yes folks it's closing... so that's sad as it was a great place to rehearse and record...but Will's got new plans and I'm sure he'll do well - anyway he mentioned this band and funnily enough Susan had this song in her head earlier on. It's brilliant.

'Going to Germany' Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers

I love this lament - partly for the ace harp by the legendary Noah Lewis and partly just for its mood, its brilliance its unrivalled...you get the idea.'Oh play it Mr Lewis..play it for me now'.

There was a Fungus Among us

I guess this is the original version. I post this as it's a very mushrooomy autumn over here - warm and wet, everywhere is mushrooms. There's a game that you could play, which I invented though I have yet to play it, with this song as its theme - kind of based on Murder in the Dark...one person at a party is given psylocibin mushrooms in their tea and all the rest of the party guests have to try and ascertain who is 'the fungus among us'.
