According to a site on the net, Captain Beefheart's name was: "Inspired by a strange Uncle of Don Van Vliet's who would expose himself, squeeze his penis until the head turned purple, then comment about it looking "like a big ole' beef heart"" Presumaby a kinky version of Captain Birdseye then...

A bit worrying that. what's the body language when Lee Dixon sits alongside him. "Get away you poof (poove alternate)?"

I did wonder about his comments years ago, I think he was a big fan of Vince "Afro" Hilaire...???

A large dildo? The mind boggles. Probably later bought by Madge.

Is that Paul Gambachini the great Palace supporter???:ohmy:

Whilst Norman Baker's is, according to you?

Sadly missed. I would just LOVE to have covered his "Addicted to Love" video.

You mean that most sincerely?

Just heard Kylie Minogue's version on the radio over the Easter weekend, she copies the "Brrrrp" but does it twice!

The tune was of course "Dock of the Bay". Otis wrote it to begin with whilst living in a boathouse, and claimed it was influenced by the Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper" album.

Another sad fact was the last song recorded by Otis Redding before he died in a plane crash on December 10th 1967. Redding recorded the song with Steve Cropper on November 22nd. At the end of the record Redding whistles the tune. This was unrehearsed but was left on the recording, possibly the...

Collector's item? I'd give you a quid for it, or a dodgy dollar coin....

Another frequent occurrance in the 1960's was "the Cover" i.e. the same tune sung by more than one artist or group. One that always sticks in my mind is that classic "Hi Ho Silver Lining" which if you asked most fans, they would say was recorded by Jeff Beck, as indeed it was. But...

One interesting phenomena of the 1960's was the "joke" record, often based on events. I've already mentioned "Christine" by Miss X in 1963 on the back of (ooh Mrs!) the Profumo affair, but in 1966 - I think- there were a succession of highly-publicised prison escapes, including the spy George...

Yes well-documented that Meek recorded Telstar "by the Tornados" alone in his flat! The Honeycombs were the first male group to feature a girl in the line-up, on drums.

I bet he didn't demonstrate Wilson Pickett's ejaculatory "Ughhhh" which to me is one of the doortiest noises ever made on a record!

Memo to self, clean out ears ASAP.

Jimi Hendrix's last "official" girlfriend Monica Bouwens - not the girl he died with - lived her last years in Seaford.

I picked up that album in a shop in Heidelberg in 1984! The Germans released it too. Of course it was Fa fa by Otis, not baa baa. Land of a Thousand Dances...what was "The Pony"?

I'm in that 2%, used to be able to sing that song: Its Good News Week, Someone's dropped a bomb somewhere, Contaminating atmosphere And darkening the sky... I didn't Wiki it honest. Old Jonathan King got about then, did he ever get over-friendly with the Brylcreem Boys..maybe that explains...
