Spooky, Flingel Bunt and Rhythm & Greens
As a kid, just before I discovered ELO and Black Sabbath, I was a huge fan of The Shadows (still am) and go a slightly smaller extent, The Beatles. The latter are, quite rightly, brilliantly covered – literally – by MLT, but it’s worth remembering that the fab four were, like a lot of their contemporaries, influenced by The Shads. Two tunes I reckon would be a perfect fit for a fourth ‘Beatles and More’ would be ‘The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt’ or ‘Rhythm & Greens’. R&G, particularly, highlights the humour of possibly the greatest instrumental band ever and I’m in no doubt that it’s something Mona and Lisa would ace.
More recently, I heard Dusty Springfield’s ‘Spooky’ for the first time. It was featured in a film. I immediately thought of a certain pair of twins. It would be a superb duo session, in my opinion. Thoughts, anyone?
