The AB theme song is a faux-Tijuana Brass number (upbeat, with the two-trumpet harmonized lead); plus, the musical director employs the same sort of musical puns that Carl Stalling used to do on the old Looney Tunes (like, for instance, when the angry beavers get shot into outer space, as they float around in their space ship you hear strains of Dvorak's "New World Symphony"). Even better, though, is the way in which the director uses old sixties numbers, beautifully recreating the backing track but *leaving the melody line out*, thus making it possible for the cognoscenti at home to play "Name That Stack O Track:" During an episode when the beavers were cavorting in a Water World amusement park, the background music was "I Get Around." During an episode when the beavers were playing in a back-water jug band, the background music was "Do You Believe In Magic." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jack Madani - Princeton Day School, The Great Road, Princeton, NJ 08540 Jack_MadXXXX@XXX12.nj.us "It is when the gods hate a man with uncommon abhorrence that they drive him into the profession of a schoolmaster." --Seneca, 64 A.D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------[ archived by Spectropop ]-------------------- Subject: Egyptian Shumba Sent: 09/15/98 4:57 am Received: 09/15/98 9:41 am From: Doc Rock, docroXXXX@XXXcom The Tammys' (Lou Christie's 1st background GG) "Egyptian Shumba" was issued on a UA 45 in 1964, but came out in the '90s called "Land of a Thousand Dunces."

Gene's string arrangement is distinct and more pronounced than Jack's...both are excellent arrangers however, in my humble yet seasoned opinion!

Sent: 09/16/98 2:33 am Received: 09/16/98 9:09 am From: Peter Heide, XXXX@XXXnet.dk I have just got through all of the digests and it was really an interesting and funny read, especially the letters about the Phil Spector and Celine Dion ses- sions and the reports from the trial : Ronnie- Phil. I got some questions about bootlegs and Spector. The 3 titles I got: A cd called "Phil & Friends, vol 1" contains various outtakes from diff. Lennon sessions, some hard to find tracks like Love`s "Lovers" , the rare single " Do the Screw part 1 and 2" etc. 2 LP`s from US : "Uncle Phil, The Other Story..." and "The Famous Wall Of Sound" contains pre-Philles and various sound-a-like. Nothing special at all. What else exist ? Any cd,tapes,lps with *outtakes* from the Philles period? BTW i`m a new subscriber to this list. My all time heroes (in music) are Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, Syd Barrett and Richard E James (Aphex Twin).

On the grounds of its cover alone it's a keeper.>> Seems to me it's just fallout from the millions of LPs Herb moved back in his day, most of them to the sort of people who'd dispose of old records almost as easily as they'd throw out old magazines. At the Tower where I work (in downtown Chicago), the CD of Whipped Cream... still sells very nicely, so it's not as if the album's been forgotten.
