Uncle Michael's avatar View Uncle Michael's profile Options

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

So... this game could potentially swing back around to The Turtles and then bifurcate into a completely different universe.

almost the same song as "It's Your Thing " by the Isley Bothers

every song makes me wonder who's next (or should I hint more broadly and type WHO's NEXT?).
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ Fri. 10/26/18 1:53pm Uncle Michael:

You sure it's the same song? James and Marva have no writing credits on the Isley's record. James wouldn't let that slide.
  Fri. 10/26/18 1:54pm Dean:

Isleys get credit here on Whitney's album: https://www.discogs.com/Marva-Whitney-Its-My-Thing/release/564870
Avatar Fri. 10/26/18 1:55pm Guido from Cologne:

Not exactly the same tune, possibly a response. Both songs from the same year:

I had no idea Don't Do It was a cover!

This show is apt because I heard Quiet Riot's version of Cum On Feel The Noize in the gym, which made me listen to Slade's version when i got to my desk.

Yep, a Marvin song!

"In October 1964 Gaye's single peaked at number 27 on both the Billboard Hot 100[1] and the Top 100 singles chart in Cashbox, with Cashbox affording the single a number 14 peak on its R&B chart (Billboard was not maintaining an R&B chart at this time)."
