Oh, good luck putting the genie back in THIS bottle, Howard!
My favorite sketch:

Yes, happy birthday, Richard! Clearly someone still needs you and still feeds you. Who could ask for more?

Thank you, Michaela!

Thanks, Howard!

I had a very similar experience, Jung. My elementary school music teacher taught us a lot of songs that I found out much later were from the 60’s. Petula Clark was a particular favorite of his. For some reason I recall that “One Tin Soldier” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” were the first two songs that we learned in fourth grade.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to hear the original recordings. He just played the piano and sang along, and passed out mimeographed copies of his own interpretation of the lyrics, which contained a lot of errors. But at least it gave us exposure to some great music when we were very young.

You’re right, Jung. “Count On Me” definitely has a Joan Baez flavor to it that I hadn’t picked up on. From the first time I heard it I thought it also captured the feel of McCartney ballads like “Put It There” and “Calico Skies”.
It would be wonderful to hear MLT cover some of the great folk singers of the 60’s! Can you picture them singing “Both Sides Now”… in harmony?
-
Or if not Michaela, then perhaps Rudi could play bass and don a (ahem…) “costume”. Given his performance in the “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” video, I don’t doubt his acting skills.
-
Do you think MLT would be up to the task of covering this song, Howard?

Thanks, Angelo. But no, je ne suis pas francais. Just a linguistically mischievous American.

Now’s your chance to write your MLT parody song, Jung: “Nothing Is In Maine”.

I’ve long thought that Jay Black is the most underrated vocalist of the 60’s. And he was still wowing them with that voice as recently as eight years ago:

You’re coming up with a lot of great MLTable songs, Howard! Now you’ve inspired me to do a “Searchers search” on the Internet, and I found this interesting cover that circles back to an earlier discussion topic:

Ah, so many great songs, Howard! My favorite would probably be “Elenore”. I don’t know why, but every time I hear the refrain I just have to sing along in falsetto with the high part.

I’d love to hear MLT cover this, or almost any of the Turtles’ hits. I mentioned a while back that “Sweet Lorraine” sounds as if it’s structured along the lines of a Turtles song, with restrained verses that crescendo into a driving refrain. So this should certainly be in their wheelhouse.
