What are you listening to?

[Savonarola]

Not every Motown single was good.  Here's an awful novelty number by Ron & Bill:

It was supposed to glom on to the success of the then current "Purple People Eater," but it's just so bad that it couldn't.  I don't think that even the Beastie Boys came up with lyrics that stupid on "Licensed to Ill."  What's really funny is that "Ron" is Ronnie White of The Miracles, and "Bill" is none other than William "Smokey" Robinson.   (This was their first single on Motown, and only single as Ron and Bill, fortunately they got better.)

I just listened to 'Another Brick in the Wall, Pt2' and thought of Ide from languish.

have you heard Louder Than Words? Not a bad little swan song

It's not available over here yet, I've just checked on 10th Nov, didn't realise it off a whole new Pink Floyd album, just shows you how out of the loop I am.

edit:
Ok Jos, just found it on youtube.

It's only sort of a new Pink Floyd record. It's mostly instrumental based on a series of jams from the 93 sessions, mostly released as a tribute to Rick Wright.

I've only heard that song so far.

Good enough for many of us no doubt.

Barrett Strong - "Money (That's What I Want)"

Fifty five years later and this still rocks:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeVx1C73o8k 

This is Motown's seventh single, and the first one that was a nationwide hit.  Berry Gordy tells the story that he had a wife and some girlfriends in the early days of Motown when the company was struggling.  One of them had said she loved him and he came up with the line "Your love gives me such a thrill, but your love won't pay my bills."

[Savonarola]

Motown followed up "Money" with a surf rock instrumental Nick and the Jaguar's "Ichi Ban #1".

No one got it at the time; and I'll admit I have no idea what Berry Gordy was trying to accomplish with this one.
