BTW, Atco is not “long-defunct’, having its name changed to EastWest Records in 1996 (while still releasing records labeled “Atco”) and the Atco name revived in 2006.
At least he didn’t call it the “Victrola”
Biden 76, Warren 70, Sanders 78.
One can bet this sort of article attempting to take out Biden is coming from a snake like Harris or O’Rourke.
I wasn’t familiar with the song, but here it is:
I plopped down in my easy chair and turned on Channel 2
A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was chasin’ poor Sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh,
“If you don’t give me the deed to your ranch
I’ll saw you all in half!”
And then he grabbed her (and then)
He tied her up (and then)
He turned on the bandsaw (and then, and then!)
Refrain:
(And then along came Jones
Tall, thin Jones
Slow-walkin’ Jones
Slow-talkin’ Jones
Along came long, lean, lanky Jones)
Commercial came on, so I got up to get myself a snack
You should’ve seen what was goin’ on by the time that I got back
Down in the old abandoned mine, Sweet Sue was havin’ fits
That villain said, “give me the deed to your ranch
Or I’ll blow you all to bits!”
And then he grabbed her (and then)
He tied her up (and then)
He lit the fuse to the dynamite (and then, and then!)
(Refrain)
I got so bugged I turned it off and turned on another show
But there was the same old shoot-’em-up and the same old rodeo
Salty Sam was tryin’ to stuff Sweet Sue in a burlap sack
He said, “if you don’t give me the deed to your ranch
I’m gonna throw you on the railroad tracks!”
And then he grabbed her (and then)
He tied her up (and then)
He threw her on the railroad tracks (and then)
A train started comin’ (and then, and then!)
(Refrain)
Isn’t sleep better in silence?
[From a FR article just a few days ago.]
"Vinyl Is Poised to Outsell CDs For the First Time Since 1986"
Carr was a track star at Arizona State University when I was in school there.
In a box of school mementos, I have an autographed program by Henry from a track meet where he won the 220 meter on the curve.
He later went on to win the Olympic Gold for the 220 in 1964 and set an Olympic record with his time.
Only “victrola” is older than Joes refrence. HiFi came after, Walkman came after, CD player came after, ipod came after and ALL are long gone.
These references to the past seem like a new thing for him. I don’t recall him doing this when he was VP. He was fondling little girls then, but the cause of this might be a new malady.
I think that’s “Gerry” cans; for the Germans.
And IIRC, The Coasters included ALONG CAME JONES in an album, among with YAKKITY-YAK, LOVE POTION #9, etc.
Pretty funny considering vinyl records are now outselling CD’s. Yeah, it’s my hobby. Hipsters are really getting into it and record stores are booming right now. I just “DJ’d” a flower show yesterday and I use both digital and vinyl. People LOVED that I was using vinyl.
Yeah, I know it’s still just a niche thing. But in the context of the news about vinyl sales just last week, I thought his comments were kinda funny. :)
NATO spec Jerry cans are still about the best gas cans you can buy.
BFnD
I still call a refrigerator an ‘ice box’
I still ‘tape’ TV shows
To think PDJT was vilified and scorned for referring to wire taps, spying etc etc etc
Remember way back when JMcCain stumbled in a campaign speech and they said his slurred words and misstates were the result of his advanced age and just being OLD?
2 days later when BO did the ‘same’ thing it was attributed to him working 24/7 and his ‘mistakes’ were just slip ups because he was so intelligent he was thinking way ahead of himself...
I remember
57 states
‘my’ Muslim faith when the announcer corrected him
Corpseman
just to name a few of many but the LIBs catch a break while the Rs get ‘humiliated’.
I had heard once that a ‘bad’ public speaker will sound out his A’s instead of using the more ‘natural’ a and one can tell if he is reading or going from memory.
Of course they want ‘them’ to stick to the script as liable to not get in ‘trouble’ that way.
I have noticed Juan Soto from the Nationals speaks (almost) flawless English for a 19-20-year-old from The Dominican, BUT he still has an interpreter standing by during his ‘press conferences’....guess management afraid the evil press will try to trip him up and say something embarrassing- which actually isn’t a bad idea since the reporters are wont to ask such idiotic questions as
‘After the other team hit the 6 straight home runs, did you feel a let down’
‘You just hit a batter in the face and broke his nose/eye socket - how did that make you feel with him lying there’?
I realize the questions asked are for the ‘novices’ but I find I can not watch most any ‘sports interview’ because of the mundane questions being asked by ‘clever(??)’ reporters
All
They’re no longer gaffes but ‘ vintage references’!
That last quote,of course,being from 1/20/1961
I wonder if Biden lurks on FR...I made this post on the 10th of this month:
"The Trump-Effect evolving....they thought they had a lock on the tactics and nobody would ever fight back....(To an old song tune by the Coasters) Along came Trump...
I flopped down in my easy chair and turned on channel 2 A bad gunslinger called Salty Sam was a-chasin’ poor sweet Sue
He trapped her in the old sawmill and said with an evil laugh
“If you don’t give me the deed to your ranch, I’ll saw you all in half”
And then he grabbed her (And then?) He tied her up (And then?) He turned on the buzz saw (And then? And then?)
Ack-ack And then along came Trump Tall, thin Trump Slow-walkin’ Trump Slow-talkin’ Trump Along came lonely, lanky Trump Yep - when #NeverTrumper types commit a felony, it’s “just a college prank”...if any conservative does it, it’s “throw away the key”.... Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View R
“Off the cuff story telling.” That’s a funny phrase to describe dementia.
Just this morning, I read Joe spoke to a small group of schoolkids, and made up a story about him fighting a group with switchblades. The leader of that group was Corn Pops.
I am not making this up. Anyway, Joe likes to weave tales.
Well, that’s a relief. I was distraught.
Also had 45rpm record players for the car, before 8trk. Back in 1953 my third grade teacher had a 78RPM record player, factory installed in her 53 Desoto!
