Monsters From the Id!
In the campy movie, Forbidden Planet, monster movies evolved from an external evil attacking humans to an evil within humans attacking humans. MONSTERS FROM THE ID could be as scary as giant spiders, creatures from the black lagoon, Frankenstein or Dracula.
Monsters from the id are songs about the monster in YOU! From songs about dream lovers to fighting fantasies (plenty of Batman songs here). Look through the song list and e-mail me with your suggestions for other songs from the id. We'll play 'em if we got 'em. Here is tonight's musical story:
Chapter One - Forbidden Planet - Monsters From the Id
Chapter Two - Moaning From the Id
Chapter Three - Dream Lover
Chapter Four - Kids Fighting
Chapter Five - Adults Fighting
Playlist Tracks
Ruby Short and His Dragsters "Look Out Baby" Hot Rodders Battle Rock and Roll wfmu.org For Peggy Lou who featured music of hot August nights, cruising in cars. |
Bill Cosby "Mojo Workout" Partyknuller zum tanzen 2 wfmu.org Bill just gave his talk at the Essence Festival last month about getting your id under control. He uses a race perspective to match his message to his audience but his message is the timeless and universal wisdom of a guy who credits success to keeping your id under control. I hear you Bill and I'm trying.
Contrast the video link to Cosby voicing over a cover of Uptight, Outta Sight. On Mojo Workout he showed some talent. |
The Beast in Me "Nick Lowe" The Sopranos |
Wilmoth Houdini "Moan People Moan" Calypso Capers Trailer from Forbidden Planet - part of the inspiration for tonight's radio show. Starring Leslie Nielson and the robot. |
Five Jones Boys "Mr. Ghost Goes to Town" This is the scene from Forbidden Planet that scared the crap out of me. The audio on this movie is spectacular. |
The Sham-ettes "Big Bad Wolf" credit wfmu.org (again) This is an answer song to the Animal's Little Red Riding Hood. Hear the link for the Animals. |
Leonard Emanuel "Old Timey Hollar" Big Bopper's Little Red Riding Hood |
Wild Man Fisher "Young at Heart" Rhino Presents Rhino Street busker who's voice actually grew on me although moaning might be too grand of a description for Larry's singing. The documentaries I've seen paint a sad picture. |
Edith Massey "Big Girls Don't Cry" Rhino Brothers Present Rhino Edith with that Cougar guy. We're still moaning |
Mrs. Miller "These Boots Are Made For Walking" Mrs. Miller does something well beyond moaning. Here she is with Jimmy Durante. |
Murray The K "The Lone Twister" wfmu.org Introducing some band from England. He should have just started singing himself. And isn't Murray the K's hat the current look for that Decatur Street Stroll? |
Where the Action Is tv theme song "Where the Action Is" Is this Paul Revere and the Raider's version? I've bought old television dance show dvds including Hullabaloo and Where the Action Is from www.earthstationone.com |
Johnny J "Dangerous Game" Urban Soul Ballad self |
Barrance Whitfield "Hi Fi Baby" Live Emulsified Whitfield perfected the screamed lyric. Move aside Steve Tyler. The original screamer is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Irhh5qn6gA8&feature=related |
The Coutours "First I Look at the Purse" Shout 2 They're still putting on a show as you can tell from this video. |
Jim Dandy "Hot Pants Girl" Video is completely unrelated to the music but The Castaway's doing their hit, Liar, Liar is worth watching regardless of its fit. |
The Rag Dolls "Society Girl" |
Tin Men "So Uptown" Freaks for Industry self Looks like this grainy video is from The Matador during the Tin Men's early days. Was that San Francisco's Jed Paulson on camera? |
H.A.W.K. "Give it Up" Cosimo Matassa Story Proper 2007 The link is to an Astronaut's video. Love the dancing in the background. L |
The Astronauts "Dream Lover" Surfin with the Astronauts Video from the movie Surf Party with the Astronauts playing an entire song to some double-groovy dancing. |
Royal Fingerbowl "Fistful of Love" Happy Birthday Sabo A video diversion because the Royal Fingerbowl is taking the Dream Lover chapter of tonight's show way out of context. |
Johnny Adams "Release Me" Big Ole Box of New Orleans |
Johnny J "Three O'Clock World" Urban Soul Ballads Chris Rose at the Times Pic gave Johnny J some ink recently. |
Sun Ra and the Blues Project "Joker is Wild" Batman and Robin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5azChH6Z7QA Sun Ra at the Egyptian pyramids. My favorite Sun Ra video and there is a great deal of competition. |
Astronauts "Batman" Surfin with the Astronauts |
Aaron Neville "Hercules" legacy I'm getting bored with this Monsters From the Id theme. Lets move into New Orleania: |
Don and Dewey "Big Boy Pete" The Specialty Story Specialty A six cd must have collection that I find myself using in every show. Link is to Don and Dewey playing together in 2001. Wiki's write up about the duo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_and_Dewey |
Jeff Daniels "Switchblade Sam" Meladee Records, Louisiana... Meladee The video link is for the next song. |
The Novas "The Crusher" Rhino Brothers Present Rhino After a 42 year break from singing here are The Novas performing this same goofy song as they are inducted into the MN Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So why did they abandon such an obviously successful career in mid-St. Paul bar tour? |
Reverend Billy C. Wirtz "Grandma Versus the Crusher" Songs of Faith and Inflamation The Crusher talking about his favorite topic, himself. My favorite Crusher interviews are when he talks about how the women love him. |
Bill Rasmussen and Bob Neumeier "New England Whalers Hockey Fight" New England Whalers Victory March Yep, as part of the Whaler's promotion, they put out this vinyl version of a broadcasted Whaler's fight. The video is of the WHA playoffs. After looking at this kind of promotional material, it is kind of obvious that two hockey leagues wouldn't work. |
Babs Gonzales "Sugar Ray" Proper Introduction to Babs... Proper |
Tom Waits "Knife Chase" Blood Money Anti |
Wanda Jackson "This Gun Don't Care (Who it Shoots)" The Very Best of the Country Years |
Philip Melancon "Rat-A-Tat Symphony" Virtually Live at the Pontchartrain NY Times piece on Philip after Katrina. Next time you visit the Neutral Ground, leave a $1,000 bill in the tip jar for the owner, Philip. |
Lula Reed "Rock Love" King R&B Box Set King The Monsters From The Id theme is over. Let's try some music without a thematic tie. |
Annie Laurie "It Hurts to Be in Love" |
Erma Coffee "Any Way the Wind Blows" Royal Memphis Soul Hi Records |
The Impressions "This Is My Country" A young Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler from another "teen dance music" television show (the kind that kept Ignatius' hands off the donuts and Big Chief tablets. |
Donny Hathaway "Someday We'll All Be Free" A Donny Hathaway Collection |
Dr. John "Lets Make a Better World" The Ultimate Dr. John A young Mac in costume, riding a mule, and singing Where Ya At Mule. |
Roy Milton "RM Blues" The Specialty Story |
Paul Gayten "Nervous Boogie" The New Orleans Hit Story |
Allen Tousaint "Whirlaway" Wild New Orleans Sounds All his music in one small, friendly city! New Orleans has the richest music culture but you've got to support it - go see Irma and Allen and buy their music. You never regret spending those dollars. |
Roy Brown "Good Rocking Tonight" Good Rocking Tonight Link to wacky dancing to Lloyd Price's music |
Lloyd Price "Carry Me Home" Lawdy! With Cosimo's voice in the background. Video of Lloyd with horrible audio so you gotta go buy the music! |
Eddie Giles "Losing Boy" Sweet Soul Music Taken from a companion cd released with Peter Guralnick's book, Sweet Soul Music. (I wrote Peter a fan letter after reading this book). I believe the link is to the same Eddie Giles who hiding in plain sight as a preacher in Shreveport, LA and program director KOKA am. The music today is nothing like "Losing Boy." I gotta do a theme on all the Obama music, there is also a Mighty Sparrow song but all these songs try lyricize policy positions and they are difficult listening. |
Danny and the Dreamers "Ask The Lonely" West Side Soul There is a huge trove of Chicano Soul that, like the population that created it, remains barely visible to America. Danny and The Dreamers are one of those groups. |
Drew Blan All Stars "Tell Me" Drew Blan All Stars Drew Blan A spectacular collection of music. |
Al Carnival Time Johnson "Lower Ninth Ward Blues" Single Al has a hit with this song. It is catchy enough that I keep humming it during the day. Link is to his web site. |
