Lesser Known Music Gems

[J E B Stuart]

You worked in a radio station? What did you do?

Disc jockey.

Amen.

[Herman]

Disc jockey.

Amen.

Damn, that was your career for most of your working life?

This is a damn good thread topic. I am retired from a career working overseas in the upstream oil patch.

Oh no. It was a minimum wage part-time gig at a small town AM station while I was in school. But, I did enjoy it.

My best friend (may he rest in peace) worked overseas for Halliburton. Yeah, he traveled a lot.

Amen.

I worked for Halliburton overseas. I worked for Schlumberger abroad too.

Brother, that is some fine detective work. 
My respect level for Page and Zep has just taken a nosedive.

Heh, Zepp was sued by yet another band for copyright infringement and Zepp actually won, amigo. Here are the two songs in controversy:

Taurus by Spirit:

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin:

Amen.

I don't have as much respect for Zep anymore, but they deserved to win that one.

[Herman]

The Slickee Boys formed in 1976 and didn't call it quits until 1991. Based in Washington D.C., they came up with this song that cracks me up every time I hear it. Listen to the lyrics and you'll get what I mean:

Amen.

[J E B Stuart]

Silence of the Lambs, anyone?   

Amen.

I could've put this in the 1960s thread, but decided it fits best here. The Knickerbockers were a New Jersey band formed in 1964 and this song actually reached #20 on the charts in 1965. It's a really good tune, but the most interesting thing about it is that so many people thought it was The Beatles. Hear for yourself:

Amen.

The singer sounds like Paul McCartney.
