They're great! Almost have Phil's voice down too.

Now for some vintage Jazz. As a kid, I first heard this when my parents playing this song on vinyl. These guys were the great. I like the Buddy Holly (the trend then) glass. They look like CIA, DOJ or IRS men, but very cool.

Yep...nice cover song job.

1964, I'm 10 years old, other kids and I are swimming and laying on the warm sand at my parent's friend's lakefront home. The smell of hot dogs and burgers on the grill. A salmon is cooking, wrapped in wet newspaper, buried under the beach sand on hot coals. 
The 30 year old adults are partying, dancing in the sand, some water skiing, some drinking, some trying out the new fad, the hula hoop. 
The radio is blasting, and I hear "The Girl from Ipanema."  amid all the activities. It's permanently imbedded in this 10 year old's brain.
After the sun goes down, the Tiki torches are pushed into the beach sand, and they reflect through the warm, dark air onto the smooth evening lake. Martini time.
Yeah, this song brings back sweet memories of childhood summers, and the wonderful adults who helped make them memorable. I miss the loss of every one of them. When we were America. The quintessential American childhood is extinct.

Wow, freaking incredible. About gave me a heart attack watching him...brutal!

Speaking of drummers, did you see the movie "Whiplash?"
I really liked it. The actor who played the teacher was like a Marine Corps drill instructor.

     I did see a few scenes from Whiplash, particularly the one you're talking about ---- you can tell it was heavily inspired by R.Lee Ermey's performance as the Marine Drill Instructor in Full Metal Jacket.

I agree. R. Lee is unmatched in the DI role in my opinion. Of course, he had experience. 
Believe it or don't, I knew R. Lee briefly. Met him on the set of the film "Prefontaine." He was a great guy, had some funny jokes and he hung out with a few of us military guys during breaks. Had dinner with him as well. He was kick-back and not full of himself. Gave us his address and phone number in CA and said to look him up if we ever got down there. I have a group photo of R Lee and our group of active duty guys together.
Sad he's gone. I'd love to see him do a kick *** video on the WOKE. That would be a side-splitter!

                R. Lee was loved and appreciated by all the Branches.... He did a ton of stuff with the USO, and made many trips overseas to visit the troops, hang out and raise morale... The story behind him getting the role for Full Metal Jacket is a good one.... He was actually brought on as a technical advisor to the actor who had been hired to play that role --- But the producer let the actor go and gave the part to Ermey... 

               I got to meet one of the most famous Marines when I was stationed briefly at Myrtle Beach AB... This was the Sniper Carlos "White Feather" Hathcock...  He was friends with some of our Instructors who ran the Rifle Range, and came down a few times.. 

               Great Hathcock interview if you ever get the time to watch.

And R. Lee didn't use a script. He did his thing, and it was a rap...almost that fast. I heard that the boot camp actors were actually a bit intimidated by this "nobody" at first.

When the voice and the singer make you go WHAT?
Not on my favorite list, but just listen to the lead singer's voice. It's a crack-up!
The Newbeats!

Among Edwin Arlington Robinson's many poems-cum-character sketches, there is one titled "Miniver Cheevy." It's about a fellow who fancies himself born in the wrong century, convinced that if only he'd been born in the right time and place, his fortunes would be much improved. Cheevy is not a man to be admired, but rather, to shake one's head at. 

The closest I come to falling into being a Miniver Cheevy is when I watch stuff like this from the big band era:

What a voice. Toss Snoop Dogg on the stage and watch the crowd tear his toked-out *** *** to pieces. 

It really was a different time.. I liked this song when I was a kid, I couldn't really follow the lyrcis then but I can follow them now.. they still don't make any sense but that doesn't matter, it's a fun song...

Are you seriously saying you don't understand the subliminal messaging in the lyrics? party till you drop dead. Escape reality since there is no place else to be.

Music soothes the savage beasts being persuaded to ignore how evolving actually happens. Cultivating a herd mentality chanting a rhyme and reasons to never pay attention to real life.

Remember the age bracket they were playing to. Puberty to adult.

             Anyone else remember this moment in Music History?...... The first Video played on MTV.

I didn't mean the subliminal messaging, I like subliminal messages in songs, that's what makes them fun... but that's another thing what makes now is eternity so boring, no songs...
