ok, my new favorite song is one I just discovered, like 50 years after it was released haha, but it's kick ass and I have played it 5 times already (sorry if you are listening to my radio station and have to suffer through this again and again)

This Is My Story by The Turbans

(quoted from here http://home.att.net/~marvy42/Turbans/turbans.html

March (1962) saw the second Imperial release, "This Is My Story"/"Clicky Clicky Clack", both featuring Al (Banks on lead vocals). "This Is My Story" is a much stronger group side than "Six Questions" had been, with "Cisco" doing a strong bass line. Note that "This Is My Story" is the same song that the Nutmegs did as "My Story" and the Rajahs did as "Out Of My Heart"

that is just about everything you can find about this great song on the net, except for a wiki entry here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turbans
pretty sad considering how many people must have sung along with this catchy fun tune....

sometimes I feel like I must be sooo out of the mainstream I am utterly alone on some things, I might be the only person under 60 who even knows this song exists.....

Doowop

It's nice that it's being listened too - good music deserves to live on.

Mud! Mud! Glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood.
So, follow me, follow, down to the hollow, And there let us wallow in glorious mud.

I'm kinda getting a little depressed the more I research this song and the band the more I see that they are only a few websites away from complete extinction. I'm almost 40 and I know about doo wop from the late 70's Sha-Na-Na tv show (my first band was a Sha-Na-Na cover band btw). I also had the good fortune to hear Ken Held's doo-wop shop on wmxj in south Florida in the early 90's and he played the good stuff, best show I ever heard was when Hurricane Andrew was coming up on us and we (me and the senior citizen regular listeners) all thought we were going to die but knew we couldn't go out like that when Ken Held was spinning the wax...
