Thanks. Had not heard that version!

Mama Told Me Not to Come - Three Dog Night

When I was living on Fiji Hill, shortly after Richard Nixon moved into the White House, I attended a party just like the one described in the song.

The Girl Friend--George Olsen & His Music

My girl's the kind of girl
For steady company...
When in the Charleston dance
I want to bump a knee,
I want to bump a knee with her.
Homely wrecks appeal
When their checks are real,
But she has sex appeal.
Yes, sir!

Isn't she cute?
Isn't she sweet?
She's gentle and mentally nearly complete.
She's knockout, she's regal.
Her beauty's illegal.
She's the girl friend!

The resonant voice of Solomon Burke, backed by a Hammond B, make this song song shine. a joy to listen to. Written by Van Morrison, the late Mr. Burke song makes this song shine.

Only a Dream - Solomon Burke

“The Dolphins Cry” by Live (which was blaring on an outdoor speaker) helped me get to the top of the climbing wall on a cruise ship.

I saw ELO several times back-in-the-day. Having been raised on Classical Music, I really loved their orchestrations.

Of course, the full size UFO taking off onstage was a bit over the top!

The Who, most of the Quadrophenia album. But to pick one song I’ll go with “I’m One” because “Dr. Jimmy” is too disturbing.
