I don't know the second one, and can't even place the band. The name sounds like a 1950s-60s group. Can you give me an idea of the song, or some other songs by them that I might know? The title sounds cool. :->

Funny you should mention, "I Want Candy". My youngest daughter is on a dance team and we just spent last weekend at a competition. I saw several dance routines to that number. It's amazing how some of those old songs keep reappearing!

"I Want Candy" by The Strangeloves

The Strangeloves? I'll take Bow-Wow-Wow.

[wafflehouse]

hey.. how about 'corporal clegg' by pink floyd?

[SoDak]

Could you be the one?--by Husker Du

Tommy gets his tonsils out--by The Replacements

All I Want--The Pursuit Of Happiness (sort of balladish)

[Dan from Michigan]

One somewhat obscure but gets a lot of airplay.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band - "On the Dark Side", off of the Eddie and the Crusiers Soundtrack

It's often mistaken for a Bruce Springsteen song.

[mn12]

• Anything by Gentle Giant.
• Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding by Elton John (only obscure in comparison to his really popular stuff, but excellent and somewhat forgotten nonetheless)
• Super's Ready, Firth of Fifth, et al., by Genesis before Phil Collins made them suck.
• Either of Donald Fagen's (of Steely Dan fame) solo albums: The Nightfly, and Kamakiriad

I also have an album called After Eight, by Taco. It is basically a remake of various 1930s tunes done with cheesy 80s-era synthesizers. I wouldn't call it great, but it's very obscure except for "Puttin' on the Ritz".

A Question of Temperature by Balloon Farm

[eddie willers]

"Hot Smoke and Sassafras" by Bubble Puppy

[Mad Dawgg]

Brownsville Station - "Martian Boogie"

Wierd!

"Get you one of them grease bombs all peppered up lay you up in the hospital for a couple a weeks"

[Chi-townChief]

FOUND IT!!!!! You have to hand it to the internet for this kind of stuff. I have it on CD but I'm not sure how to copy and link the song but here's a website >>> I Want Candy - The Strangeloves
Crank up your speakers and DIG IT!!!

[Revolting cat!]

I'm Just a Prisoner by Candi Staton. Soul don't get better than that!

[CARDINALRULES]

Alley Oop by the Argyles.

My mom loves this song, she tells the story of the DJ that locked himself in the booth and played it for hours and hours.

[Revolting cat!]

Everlasting Love by Robert Knight was another obscure one that got re-made in recent years note for note by somebody. There is something in that single that just grabs ya! Pop soul doesn't get better than that.

[Revolting cat!]

I've gotta tell ya, the best stuff is the obscure stuff. At one point ages ago, I put myself in charge of a jukebox at a, uhm, semi classy joint. I was watching the charts anyways, and through the jukebox operator, a mob associate, I could get just about any 45 RPM. Or else I'd venture to the local city record shops who stocked more than just the top 40. While the bar clientele was eager to hear the latest tearjerkers I was putting in stuff from the Bubbling Under the Hot 100 Billboard chart, plus every single by the Stones and I was also watching the charts from Cashbox and Record World as well. Ah, those were them days!

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

They Call Me The Breeze by J.J. Cale

or how about Johnny Cash doing Soundgarden's Rusty Cage? You can hear anything eclectic, zany or virtuoso on KPIG.com

KPIG in Freedom, CA - pure pork radio live on the internet. My favorite radio station. (Ramblin' Rory has the best show in the late afternoon...)

Rock, Blues, Country, Oldies, Rockabilly, Cajun, Bluegrass, Kinky Freidman, and the funniest damned commercials you have ever heard. Give 'em a squeal.

Give 'em a "hog call" if you feel the need to oink at 1-831-724-PORK (warning: anything you say can and will be used on the air!)
