Speaker 6: things I do in the HUDs in the Hudson Valley
Speaker 6: in this area.
Speaker 7: So yeah, that was that was fun. So okay for me,
Speaker 7: I do a variety.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, do you know when that's coming out?
Speaker 7: Or probably September.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm all about the astronomical alignments of stone sites,
Speaker 6: but I'm sure nobody listening tonight show wants to hear that,
Speaker 6: so I.
Speaker 4: Think you would be surprised. Yes, all right, fine, we're
Speaker 4: going to get to the news and the celebratory weekend,
Speaker 4: and no one's better to lead us off than Neil.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's something I'm not unfamiliar, not totally unfamiliar with
Speaker 2: the the pastime. But anyway, so yes, you know, I
Speaker 2: know that I've chosen songs by the Ramones numerous times
Speaker 2: here on the Rock and Roll History Show, covering a
Speaker 2: variety of topics well, and that's only because they really
Speaker 2: have a song for every occasion. But this time it's
Speaker 2: going to be a little different. Instead of talking about
Speaker 2: the Ramones as a band, I'm going to focus on
Speaker 2: one particular member, their third drummer, Richie Ramone, and a
Speaker 2: song he wrote for the band called Somebody Puts Something
Speaker 2: in My Drink. Richard Reinhardt he was born in nineteen
Speaker 2: fifty seven. Richie played drums for several early CBGB bands
Speaker 2: like Velveteen and The Shirts before becoming the drummer for
Speaker 2: the Ramones. Between February nineteen eighty three and August nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty seven, he took over for Marky Ramone, the band's
Speaker 2: second drummer, after Marky was fired ironically because of his alcoholism.
Speaker 5: Talk about drinking here I remember it well, yeap.
Speaker 2: Now. At first, Richie performed under the stage name of
Speaker 2: Richie bo b Ea You, before adopting the Ramone surname
Speaker 2: in time for the release of his first Ramones album,
Speaker 2: the band's eighth studio LP called Too Tough to Die,
Speaker 2: and it's the first of three studio albums that he
Speaker 2: appears on. Richie is the only Ramones drummer to be
Speaker 2: the sole composer of a Ramone song. Now the other
Speaker 2: two drummers they collaborated, but Richie wrote these all on
Speaker 2: his own. He wrote several actually, including Somebody puts Something
Speaker 2: in My Drink, which is found on their nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: six album Animal Boy. Now. Rumor has it that the
Speaker 2: song is based on an actual incident where he was
Speaker 2: given a drink spiked with LSD and he was out
Speaker 2: on a date with Frankie Valley's daughter. What could go wrong?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 4: What a night? Get it? Get any?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah?
Speaker 4: Pause for laughter and continue now.
Speaker 2: Richie recorded his version of the song for his twenty
Speaker 2: thirteen solo album entitled entitled, which is the version we're
Speaker 2: about to hear. So grab a glass, drink up, but
Speaker 2: just be careful. We never know what might be in there.
Speaker 9: Somebody, somebody putting somebody another nice add on a joy
Speaker 9: stuff it fun my usual set.
Speaker 2: To please.
Speaker 8: Spot with a joy.
Speaker 9: I don't blacket it's a colored pig.

Speaker 10: somebody WoT Soffer Mado.
Speaker 2: I can't tell whether he's happy about it or mad
Speaker 2: about it, but maybe a little of both now. Richie
Speaker 2: quit the Ramones abruptly in August of nineteen eighty seven
Speaker 2: due to financial conflicts. Richie said he had asked for
Speaker 2: a small percentage of the merchandise income that is, basically
Speaker 2: you know, the T shirts, the T shirt money that
Speaker 2: bore his name and image. Now, while admitting he didn't
Speaker 2: feel entitled to an equal share as he was not
Speaker 2: a founding member of the band, he did feel cheated
Speaker 2: when the other members would cash their merchandise checks while
Speaker 2: he sat there with nothing. Now. These conflicts were mostly
Speaker 2: with guitarist Johnny Ramone, as the other members apparently didn't
Speaker 2: really object, and there were also issues over production credits
Speaker 2: as well, again with Johnny. Ultimately, Richie was replaced by
Speaker 2: his predecessor, Markey. They brought him back after he got sober,
Speaker 2: and he remained in the band Mark He did until
Speaker 2: the band retired in nineteen ninety six. After releasing Entitled,
Speaker 2: Richie released two more solo LPs, one called Cellophane in
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen and another Lived to Tell in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: In twenty eighteen, he published his autobiography I Know Better
Speaker 2: Now my life before, during, and after the Ramones, and
Speaker 2: I Know Better Now is another one of the songs
Speaker 2: he wrote for the band. Somebody Put Something in My
Speaker 2: Drink has since been covered by a number of other
Speaker 2: punk bands, and has also been featured in a couple
Speaker 2: of movies as well. In two thousand and seven, this
Speaker 2: is pretty interesting, Richie debuted a classical composition called Sweet
Speaker 2: for drums and orchestra with the Pasadena Pops, and it
Speaker 2: was based on themes from the musical West Side Story.
Speaker 2: So not too shabby for a punk drubber No.
Speaker 4: No elegant.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: Along with the three Ramone studio albums, the third being
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven's Halfway to Sanity. By the Way, Richie
Speaker 2: also appears on numerous Ramone's Greatest Hits compilations, and he
Speaker 2: also played on Joey Ramone's second posthumous solo LP and Yes,
Speaker 2: I know You're all wondering, and I know some of
Speaker 2: you know. Of course, I got to see Richie play
Speaker 2: with the Ramones a few times, and once right here
Speaker 2: in our own Rockland County in Mount Ivy, back in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four, a place called the Expo and I
Speaker 2: think they tore it down and built a diner anyway,
Speaker 2: And I know I've seen him perform with his own
Speaker 2: band a few times, along with a couple of the
Speaker 2: Cranbones here many times with Mercedes, and we even dragged
Speaker 2: Brian along one time too. I think he's almost gotten
Speaker 2: over the shock.
Speaker 4: I had a great night. That was awesome. I got
Speaker 4: a sign drumstick to chat with him a little bit.
Speaker 4: That was a good night.
Speaker 2: It was. It was really cool.
Speaker 4: Now I will never reach the coolness factor of Neil
Speaker 4: and Mercedes. Obviously I was. I made the tricycle that
Speaker 4: was the third wheel. But that's okay. I'll take what
Speaker 4: I can get.
Speaker 2: It all counts, it all counts, And finally, Richie continues
Speaker 2: to perform, and he's currently one of the three surviving
Speaker 2: members of the band, the other two being Markeye and
Speaker 2: bassist CJ. Ramone. So remember, don't drink and drive and
Speaker 2: go to a concert.
Speaker 4: Thank you excellent.
Speaker 5: I cannot listen to any version of that song without
Speaker 5: thinking of a friend of mine who used to go
Speaker 5: to Ceegb's all the time. And I don't know what
Speaker 5: band he was there to see, but he was there
Speaker 5: one night with his girlfriend. Now he lived down the
Speaker 5: Jersey Shore somewhere, so when they left, they had to
Speaker 5: drive home and they actually woke up on the median
Speaker 5: of the turnpike.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: But they woke up intact, intact, I hope. Yeah, them
Speaker 2: and whatever vehicles.
Speaker 5: Yeah, insane.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's a night of bad decisions.
Speaker 7: Somebody put something in their drink.
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, wow, alcohol alcohol for one, No, for real?
Speaker 2: Something oh really really?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah yeah yeah from the area. The Jersey Turnpike
Speaker 4: at some places is like four or five six lanes wide.
Speaker 4: And they're in the media in the Wow. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's well.
Speaker 2: I remember they used to you know, they used to
Speaker 2: serve tap be you know in pictures. I would for
Speaker 2: many reasons, I never ordered that. I always had something,
Speaker 2: you know, that was like like a bottle can. Yeah,
Speaker 2: for sure. It just it just didn't seem like a
Speaker 2: good idea.
Speaker 4: And in college, one of the downtown bars used to
Speaker 4: do dollar beer nights, but you brought your own container,
Speaker 4: and just that week, the hardware store at the other
Speaker 4: end of the street would sell bird baths on sale,
Speaker 4: So you would actually have guys walking around this bar
Speaker 4: carrying bird baths.
Speaker 5: I think that's hilarious.
Speaker 4: I was DJing. I was not a bird bath participant.
Speaker 5: So how much does a bird bath hold I don't
Speaker 5: know in pictures.
Speaker 2: It was a lot in bird bird bath.
Speaker 1: Of beer bourbon. You could take it anywhere you want.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to brag, but that was the
Speaker 2: sort of class I was in, you know, before retiring,
Speaker 2: of course. Yeah, but I never thought of using a
Speaker 2: bird bath.
Speaker 4: But I don't know who came up with it, but
Speaker 4: they made the most of it.
Speaker 2: All him that if it was new, not an old
Speaker 2: bird bath.
Speaker 4: No, I mean not no, these were new bird baths from.
Speaker 2: Swipe swipe one off of somebody's Oh god, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, well,
Speaker 2: you know maybe after enough never mind, never mind, you
Speaker 2: can use it.
Speaker 4: After for whatever. But yes, when you're done drinking out of.
Speaker 5: It, that alcohol disinfects it.
Speaker 4: No no, still still no, no, it could be one
Speaker 4: green alcohol and there's still not Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well this was all before bird flew and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: so I might have been no never mind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, birds have been since the dawn of time, so
Speaker 4: there is no good way to.
Speaker 2: Buy your bird baths.
Speaker 7: Conversation South real fast, are you surprised.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure it's going to get worse we're talking about.
Speaker 4: I'm sure, Actually, Barbara, you're up. So you get to
Speaker 4: decide high brow low brow? Which way are we going
Speaker 4: to go?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Well, all right, so yeah, the song about drinking that
Speaker 1: I have chosen, it's called the Scotsman. We're gonna hear
Speaker 1: the rendition by Brian Bowers, and I'm going to talk
Speaker 1: about him a little bit later, but for right now,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the guy that wrote the song,
Speaker 1: Mike Cross. He was born October twenty fifth, nineteen forty six,
Speaker 1: in Maryville, Tennessee. He grew up in North Carolina, and
Speaker 1: he's an American musician, singer, songwriter, fiddler, guitarist, and storyteller.
Speaker 1: His musical works are a blend of bluegrass, Celtic influences,
Speaker 1: country rock, folk, and pop, but he's best known for
Speaker 1: his humorous songs. However, his diehard fans are quick to
Speaker 1: point out that his serious songwriting is just as impressive
Speaker 1: as his comedy. Cross was inducted into the Blue Ridge
Speaker 1: Music Hall of Fame in two thousand and nine in
Speaker 1: recognition of his contributions to Appalachian and North Carolina music.
Speaker 1: Although he never achieved mainstream success, and it's unknown exactly
Speaker 1: when Cross wrote The Scotsman, but it's believed to be
Speaker 1: sometime during the nineteen seventies because the recording we will
Speaker 1: now hear was released in nineteen eighty by Brian Bauers
Speaker 1: on his album Home Home on the Road. So before
Speaker 1: we continue with details about Bowers, let's hear its brief.
Speaker 7: It's very short.
Speaker 1: Let's hear his version of the Scotsman.
Speaker 2: Now well.
Speaker 12: Scotsman planned and killed, left the bar wan even fair,
Speaker 12: and one could tell how he walked, and he drunk
Speaker 12: more than his share. He fumbled around until he could
Speaker 12: no longer keep his feet, and he stumbled off to
Speaker 12: the grass to sleep beside this street, ringing it a
Speaker 12: little lady ringed Lisle. He stumbled off to the grass
Speaker 12: to sleep beside this tree. About that time to the
Speaker 12: young and lovely girls. Just happened by one says to
Speaker 12: the other, with the twinkle in her eye, see on
Speaker 12: sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome, Bill. I wonder rivage's true?
Speaker 12: What they don't wear beneath the.
Speaker 11: Kilt, ringing it a little lady ring nordedly eye.
Speaker 12: Oh wow, wonder rivage's true. What they don't wear beneath
Speaker 12: the kilt. They crept upon that sleeping Scotsman quiet as
Speaker 12: could be lifted up as killed about and if so
Speaker 12: they could see and their all for them. Of you
Speaker 12: beneath this god is skirt was nothing more than God
Speaker 12: had graced him with upon his bird ringing, that a
Speaker 12: little lad ring nordedly eye, oh, was nothing more than
Speaker 12: God had graced him with upon his birth. They marveled
Speaker 12: for a moment. Then one said we must be gone.
Speaker 12: Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along.
Speaker 12: As a gift, they left their blue silk ribbon tied
Speaker 12: into a bowl around the bunny star. The scots kilted
Speaker 12: lyft dunshow.
Speaker 11: Ringing did a little ladio ring nadii isle around the
Speaker 11: bunny star.
Speaker 12: The scots kilted lyft dun show. Now the Scotsman wolf
Speaker 12: to nature's call and stumble towards the trees behind the
Speaker 12: bushy lifts his kilt and cock said what he sees
Speaker 12: and there the startle boys, He says to what's before
Speaker 12: his eyes off, lad, I don't know where you've in Budaseo.
Speaker 12: One first priss ringing did a little ladio ring nadali
Speaker 12: isle a lad I don't.
Speaker 11: Know where you've embudasyo one first part, okay, the.
Speaker 1: Pews of would happen if you drink so much you
Speaker 1: pass out? Let that be a lesson to all of us.
Speaker 1: So the song is done in a classic folk storytelling format,
Speaker 1: with a simple narration, a memorable chor a punchline. And
Speaker 1: it was frequently requested on the Doctor Demento Show and
Speaker 1: often made the show's top five, known as the Funny Five.
Speaker 1: And just to put it out there, my next show
Speaker 1: I'm working on for Shaving Cream will be a tribute
Speaker 1: to Doctor Demento's Funny Five. So Bowers is also known
Speaker 1: as an auto harp player. You can find pictures of
Speaker 1: it online, and the auto harp. He's actually credited with
Speaker 1: introducing the instrument to generations of musicians. And he's kind
Speaker 1: of more famous for playing the auto harp than he
Speaker 1: is for that song. And he was inducted into the
Speaker 1: Auto Harp Hall of Fame in nineteen ninety three.
Speaker 4: Oh he's the other guy, all right, gotcha?
Speaker 1: Which I think is almost as funny as the song is.
Speaker 6: So there you have it.
Speaker 4: Where is the Auto hart Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: The I don't know if there's a physical.
Speaker 4: Some spare bedroom in the back.
Speaker 1: It's probably in some janitor's closet.
Speaker 4: And some building somewhere. I never even heard of it.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I was trying to find more
Speaker 1: info on it, but I.
Speaker 4: Mean, I'm not. I would definitely go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would go to the Auto Heart Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: and you would marvel at this gentleman howers that he
Speaker 1: actually has his name somewhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can only imagine the gift shop.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sorry, Okay, all right, thank you for.
Speaker 7: You left me speechless with that.
Speaker 1: When I'm sitting here trying to picture all the things
Speaker 1: I could pross, possibly purchase and all, Yeah, gift shot.
Speaker 4: Key chain, it would be very very difficult.
Speaker 2: They have a whole, a whole section of Blue River.
Speaker 14: I was gonna say that.
Speaker 2: You just beat me to it.
Speaker 4: Killed kilts and key chains.
Speaker 2: And blue being being being of part, you know, part
Speaker 2: Scottish descent. You know, I've got a whole trophy case
Speaker 2: of those.
Speaker 14: Are they all blue?
Speaker 2: Neil, I'll never tell.
Speaker 4: That's for another show.
Speaker 2: One that was that was a loaded question. I justn't know.
Speaker 2: It's a family show. I'm going to stop right there.
Speaker 4: Yep, And if we haven't scared Linda off yet, we're
Speaker 4: gonna try.
Speaker 6: The song reminded me of you know, the World Cup
Speaker 6: is going on now and the Scots keep drinking Boston dry.
Speaker 2: Yes you want to.
Speaker 4: They came over on except for the bud light. Except
Speaker 4: the bud light. They have bud light light, Yes they would.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so last week we did.
Speaker 1: Brian hates the bagpipes, and so I went to the
Speaker 1: other side of the coin where we have scotsman but
Speaker 1: no bagpipes, and there you go, say thank you, Brian,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 4: All Right, we're gonna take a real quick break and
Speaker 4: we're gonna be back with more. So go hit the
Speaker 4: restroom while you can and get another round, then join
Speaker 4: us in a few minutes. We'll be right back. Hudson
Speaker 4: River Radio dot Com. Your dad likes us.
Speaker 5: This concludes the first part of this cassette.
Speaker 4: Please turn the cassette over and begin again on side
Speaker 4: to Hudson River Radio dot Com and welcome back. So uh,
Speaker 4: I'm partial to old fashions myself. I have to admit,
Speaker 4: you know, I.
Speaker 14: Tried to.
Speaker 4: Ever had never had heard about need to try, so
Speaker 4: that that's kind of my default, that a nice porter
Speaker 4: of stout, something along those lines. I'm not a big
Speaker 4: beer drinker.
Speaker 1: I like the dark beer, the stouts.
Speaker 9: I like those.
Speaker 4: I would rather go with those.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I have a lot of friends that love the I
Speaker 4: pas and all that, and they smell like paint thinner
Speaker 4: to me. I can't even try.
Speaker 2: I retired. I retired before all that I PA stuff
Speaker 2: came out. Yeah it was. It was never you know,
Speaker 2: it was it was imported beer, but not not, you know,
Speaker 2: so I missed out on a whole Well.
Speaker 4: I like the crappier places, like checking out the breweries
Speaker 4: and all that, you know, just just checking out how
Speaker 4: it's done and checking out the local business kind of
Speaker 4: thing that I like. But yeah, I'm not big on
Speaker 4: all the all the weird smelling stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 4: All right, Linda, get me out of this hole. What
Speaker 4: do you drink?
Speaker 13: Oh?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 14: Sure?
Speaker 6: Well I had about two hours notice for this, Joe,
Speaker 6: uh huh, And I was like, what do I know
Speaker 6: about drinking songs?
Speaker 7: Rocking about? What I do know is my wheelhouse is
Speaker 7: the thirties and forties.
Speaker 6: So I said to Brian, look, I've got a really
Speaker 6: favorite drinking song if you don't mind something from the forties,
Speaker 6: So he said, go with it. So I am cocktails
Speaker 6: for two, but not just any version. The song was
Speaker 6: originally written by Arthur Johnson and Sam Coslow, and it
Speaker 6: debuted in the nineteen thirty four movie Murder at the Vanities,
Speaker 6: which was a pre code musical if.
Speaker 7: You know what that means, yes, anything goes essentially.
Speaker 6: It was performed by Danish actor singer Carl Brisson, who,
Speaker 6: before he became an actor singer, was a European champion
Speaker 6: prize fighter, so that was a nice transition. Stopped getting
Speaker 6: punched in the face and got to do, you know,
Speaker 6: musicals with attractive women. Also in this movie was a
Speaker 6: song performed by Gertrude Michael called Sweet Marijuana.
Speaker 7: But that's probably for another show.
Speaker 6: I'll be back when you do the Okay marijuana pace shows.
Speaker 6: Also in nineteen thirty four, Duke Ellington did a wildly
Speaker 6: popular version of it. It was the second biggest hit
Speaker 6: of nineteen thirty four. Tommy Dorsey did a swing version
Speaker 6: in thirty eight. Bing Crosby had a very popular version
Speaker 6: in nineteen fifty five, and in nineteen sixty one Ray
Speaker 6: Charles and Betty Carter did a very nice version of it,
Speaker 6: so it was kind of an old standard. But by
Speaker 6: far and away, my favorite version, because I'm a little twisted,
Speaker 6: is from nineteen forty four.
Speaker 7: The Spike Jones and his City Slickers.
Speaker 14: Version my favorite two all right.
Speaker 6: Carl Grayson did the vocals. Spike Jones was born in
Speaker 6: nineteen eleven as Lindley Armstrong Jones, but he was as
Speaker 6: thin as a railroad spike, so that's how he got
Speaker 6: his name. At a young age, a railroad chef taught
Speaker 6: him how to play music on pots and pens and.
Speaker 7: Forks and spoons, so.
Speaker 6: He had an interesting ear for percussion instruments at a
Speaker 6: very early age. We all know about music appreciation. Well,
Speaker 6: he started touring the country with what he called his
Speaker 6: musical depreciation review.
Speaker 7: And spoof songs. He really, you know, weird. Al Yankovic
Speaker 7: is the modern day version of.
Speaker 6: Spike Jones, but Spike Jones was really the one who
Speaker 6: I think pretty much.
Speaker 7: Started it all.
Speaker 6: His first big spoof hit was Defurro's Face, and he
Speaker 6: thought it's a flash in the pen, it will fade,
Speaker 6: but people just kept asking for more and more. So
Speaker 6: in forty four, they did their version of Cocktails for two.
Speaker 6: It was number four on the charts and the writer
Speaker 6: Sam Coslow he hated this version what Spike Jones did
Speaker 6: to it, but he hated it all the way to
Speaker 6: the bank because he made a butt load of royalties
Speaker 6: off of it. And believe it or not, in nineteen
Speaker 6: and excuse me, twenty twenty six, this song was selected
Speaker 6: by the Library of Congress to enter the National Recording
Speaker 6: Registry as a cultural, historical or esthetic importance in the
Speaker 6: nation's recording sound heritage.
Speaker 7: What why don't we play it?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 10: Be given the right once again, respectively, King like several
Speaker 10: days and then.
Speaker 2: No longer.
Speaker 4: Charming scene line.
Speaker 15: In some secluded run that overlooks the avenue with someone
Speaker 15: sharing a delight chaplenge this bad cocktails batoon as we
Speaker 15: enjoy a cigarette to some exquisite chancel. No, two hands
Speaker 15: are sure too slyly me need the servian with cocktails platoon.
Speaker 4: My head made a gread.
Speaker 13: But my heart will be all The idiot.
Speaker 15: With intoxicated kiss is for the principle ingredients. Mosteady afternoon
Speaker 15: at five, we'll be so glad we're both alive. Then
Speaker 15: maybe fortune will complete plan.
Speaker 7: That all began with cocktails, balloon.
Speaker 2: Leto letop.
Speaker 15: Most any afternoon at fin we'll be so glad we're
Speaker 15: both alive.
Speaker 13: Then maybe fortune will complete her plan at all began
Speaker 13: with concass.
Speaker 7: Isn't that the ultimate drinking song?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I had to tie in some rock and roll history.
Speaker 2: I think somebody spiked their drinking.
Speaker 7: Yes, definitely.
Speaker 6: Spike was a huge influence on of course, Weird Out,
Speaker 6: Frank Zappa, Elvis Costello, the band, The list goes on
Speaker 6: and on a very heavy influence on Oingo Boingo.
Speaker 14: So you know, rock and roll history is not didn't
Speaker 14: didn't come out of uh nowhere.
Speaker 4: It had precedence and absolutely absolutely to do something silly
Speaker 4: like that or funny is so much harder than it sounds.
Speaker 4: It takes such skill to make it sound so informal
Speaker 4: and loose, but it's tough to end. They were doing
Speaker 4: that in the days of opera. Mozart wrote stuff that
Speaker 4: was funny, you know, and to pull that off is
Speaker 4: not easy.
Speaker 2: Well, that particular recording too, that was done way before
Speaker 2: you know, any kind of digital editing or sampling. They
Speaker 2: had to do that pretty much on the fly live No, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're on yeah, luck, Yeah, so what I mean, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was a lot harder to create than you know
Speaker 2: now you think, oh yeah, you're just you know, cutt
Speaker 2: and paste and pro too. They didn't have that stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh I missed up that hiccup too over yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: And if you screwed up the very last hiccup, you
Speaker 2: had to do the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaker 5: It was up on Cripple Creek by the band that
Speaker 5: refers to that song right in the lyrics. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 5: where she says I I.
Speaker 2: Spike Jones on the box.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but she says I, I oh the way he plays,
Speaker 5: but I love the way I love to hear it.
Speaker 10: Hear it talk.
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: So you know that's sorry rock and roll history fans,
Speaker 6: but that's my call.
Speaker 4: It was perfect.
Speaker 2: That's awesome. That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 1: I was so happy when I saw that you were
Speaker 1: doing this.
Speaker 4: Excellent. All right, thank you, Linda Mercedes. Your turn. Oh boy,
Speaker 4: you know it's going to be good.
Speaker 5: Well, I am taking this in a whole different direction,
Speaker 5: and I'm not going to apologize for it. By the way,
Speaker 5: I really liked this song.
Speaker 4: Did anybody ask.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just defending myself before you start in all right,
Speaker 5: fair enough. I heard the song in a step of
Speaker 5: Robi's class of all places, and insisted that the teacher
Speaker 5: play it all the time because the music he typically
Speaker 5: plays is super fast and sometimes I can't keep up,
Speaker 5: So that became my song in the class. It is
Speaker 5: not a genre that I would typically go for, but
Speaker 5: now I just really like it. Hibouzi, Who's the artist,
Speaker 5: was born Collins Obina Chibueise in nineteen ninety five to
Speaker 5: Nigerian parents. His stage name comes from a childhood nickname
Speaker 5: that began when his high school football coach at Virginia
Speaker 5: mispronounced his Nigerian last name and wrote Shaboozi on his helmet.
Speaker 5: Chibwese is an Igboo word that means God is king.
Speaker 5: His music combines country, Americana and hip hop. The song
Speaker 5: we are talking about today is a bar song, and
Speaker 5: then in parentheses Tipsy, which spent nineteen weeks on top
Speaker 5: of the Billboard Hot one hundred, tied with Little Nazex's
Speaker 5: Old Town Road. I know you all familiar with that
Speaker 5: as then as the then longest running Hot one hundred
Speaker 5: top Hot one hundred number one song of all Time.
Speaker 5: Chibuz Chubwezi was born and raised in Why do I
Speaker 5: keep pronouncing that differently?
Speaker 2: Good?
Speaker 4: That's what the coach did and just wrote it down
Speaker 4: wrong and the helmet.
Speaker 5: He was born and raised in Woodbridge, Virginia r Junior
Speaker 5: High School. He spent two years at a boarding school
Speaker 5: in Nigeria and then graduated high school in the US.
Speaker 5: Although he originally aspired to be a writer, in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 5: Chaboozi founded V Picture Films, a film production company, with
Speaker 5: the goal of becoming a writer, director, and producer. In
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen, Chaboozi was asked by Duckworth, an American rapper
Speaker 5: who I'm sure you're familiar with, to sing the hook
Speaker 5: for the song Start a Riot. It went so well
Speaker 5: that Shaboozi was also asked to sing the second verse.
Speaker 5: The song, released in December twenty eighteen, was included in
Speaker 5: the soundtrack to Spider Man Into the Spider Verse and
Speaker 5: led to national recognition for Shaboozi. In January twenty twenty four,
Speaker 5: he was asked to sing a bar song with Beyonce
Speaker 5: after she heard the then unreleased song, and it was
Speaker 5: released on her twenty twenty four album Cowboy Carter Chaboozi
Speaker 5: has told reporters that he was exposed to country music
Speaker 5: by his Nigerian father, who quote unquote embodies Americana while
Speaker 5: holding on to his roots. He also said that he
Speaker 5: was inspired by his father's cowboy style of dress and
Speaker 5: love of country music. There's something really endearing I find
Speaker 5: about that. The opening line sets up the story, my
Speaker 5: baby want a burken She's been telling me all night long.
Speaker 5: This of course refers to the Burken bag, which is
Speaker 5: a status symbol with prices ranging from ten thousand dollars
Speaker 5: to five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous. It's a big ridiculous. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 14: What's What's it made out of diamonds?
Speaker 5: Now, it's just leather.
Speaker 4: But it was partly, Uh, it was unicorn.
Speaker 5: It's Hermes, the designer and Jane Berkin, the actress, came
Speaker 5: together to design this bag.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a very big deal.
Speaker 4: Ridiculous.
Speaker 5: So the character in the song decides, because he's never
Speaker 5: going to be able to afford one, to stop working
Speaker 5: his butt off and go drinking with his friends.
Speaker 4: Good for him.
Speaker 14: Let's hear a bar song.
Speaker 8: Baby found burkey.
Speaker 16: She's been telling me all my lost.
Speaker 8: Grouse lease go songs five, work moody, hell do our
Speaker 8: work so hard? I can't very bound my problem. I
Speaker 8: can't tell you hey go when I'm gonna one.
Speaker 4: Here, here comes two.
Speaker 8: Set the three to the far, sell them bringing another rout.
Speaker 8: We need to let anymore thro stepping on the table.

Speaker 16: There's a party downtown near Fifth Street. Everybody had the barget.
Speaker 16: Everybody had the barkin. Everybody had the barget.

Speaker 8: three to the part. Tell them bring another round.
Speaker 1: We need to any more.
Speaker 8: Don't stepping on the table. She don't need a dance floor.
Speaker 8: Oh my good lord, some I'm gonna put me up
Speaker 8: a double shadow.
Speaker 10: His son say on me and Jack Dale's gotta his streets.
Speaker 16: There's a party downtown near fifth Streets. Everybody had the.
Speaker 10: Bar get test Street.
Speaker 8: Everybody had to bargain tip.
Speaker 16: Everybody had the bargain tips ships.
Speaker 4: Fine, he comes the two to the three to the four.
Speaker 8: When this last call in, the chickens out of the
Speaker 8: dark skin kind of lay. But the ladies want some
Speaker 8: morn Oh my good lord, tell him drink something some
Speaker 8: I'm gonna put me up a double shadow.
Speaker 16: With shoe they on me and Jack Dale's got a history.
Speaker 8: There's a party downtown near Fifth Street. Everybody he had
Speaker 8: the barket test some.
Speaker 16: I'm gonna come me up a double shadow.
Speaker 5: Listen, So the line is everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
Speaker 5: I really thought it was everybody at the bar can
Speaker 5: kiss me? Visual to me, it's hilarious. I find this
Speaker 5: song fascinating because the song has a cross has crossover
Speaker 5: appeal obviously, and give me played for a wide demographic.
Speaker 5: It flows like a hip hop song and sounds like
Speaker 5: a pop country song. Which which is which are the
Speaker 5: two most popular genres of the US. Apparently, Yeah, apparently
Speaker 5: he was influenced by again Little Naza's ex song Old
Speaker 5: Town Road and if you remember.
Speaker 4: That one, I couldn't escape it. Whether you liked it
Speaker 4: or not.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I have no idea what it is actually.
Speaker 4: There are so many versions of it out there, and
Speaker 4: it was just you try to avoid it. And I
Speaker 4: had not heard it until Yeah, once was enough. Writing
Speaker 4: this up once or twice was enough, and then that
Speaker 4: was enough.
Speaker 5: That song, like I said, spent little Naza song spent
Speaker 5: seventeen sorry nineteen weeks on the Billboard Top one hundred,
Speaker 5: and Billboard reports that a bar song is the first
Speaker 5: single to crack the top ten on the magazines. I
Speaker 5: don't know any of these magazines pop airplay, Country airplay,
Speaker 5: Adult pop airplay, and rhythmic airplay charts. In those last
Speaker 5: two formats are stations that play current pop for adult
Speaker 5: audiences and those that play a mix of R and B,
Speaker 5: rap and dance respectively. I don't know. There's a ton
Speaker 5: of YouTube videos demonstrating the dance for this song. So
Speaker 5: if anybody wants to go thine dancing with me sometime,
Speaker 5: let me know because I've been working on it.
Speaker 4: Good to know, all right.
Speaker 5: If you I read somewhere that if you you know
Speaker 5: in song facts, I think it was if you google shaboozy,
Speaker 5: that the screen will tilt because it's tipsy. It didn't
Speaker 5: work for me, but I think that's a very cool idea. Anyway,
Speaker 5: how do you like me?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 4: I like country. I'm probably more a country fan than
Speaker 4: any of the Cranbones. I know, Linda runs away when
Speaker 4: you say grand ol Opry, she goes no and goes
Speaker 4: running in the other directions. Same same, Yeah, it's a
Speaker 4: catchy song. What kills it for me is that it's
Speaker 4: auto tuned to perfection and it just robs it of
Speaker 4: the musicality for me. You know, it's a catchy song,
Speaker 4: it's it's easy to learn. That's the kind of song
Speaker 4: that you can just jam on. Anybody could pick up
Speaker 4: a guitar, four chords and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 4: But that production is just too perfected for me. That's
Speaker 4: That's kind of what the only negative thing I would
Speaker 4: have to say about it fair.
Speaker 5: It's it's good for a step class.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you that is like, you know, Linda runs
Speaker 4: away from opry. Guess what I run away from? So
Speaker 4: we don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2: Shouldn't it be for a twelve step.
Speaker 5: So everybody in the bar can kiss me? That's all
Speaker 5: I had to say.
Speaker 4: What you wish for Get Your Bird bathkeet in Line.
Speaker 4: All right, that was a good one.
Speaker 2: I do like that song.
Speaker 4: So all right, thanks Mercedes. One more quick break and
Speaker 4: we have one more selection to go, so stick around.
Speaker 7: This is Hudson River Radio dot Com.
Speaker 4: Hudson Riverradio dot Com. All right, I'm going back early,
Speaker 4: not quite as early as Linda, but we're going to
Speaker 4: go back to the nineteen fifties. We're going to be
Speaker 4: talking about Joseph Amos Milburn, who was born in Houston,
Speaker 4: Texas in nineteen twenty seven. One of thirteen kids. That's
Speaker 4: more than two Brady Bunches, two Brady Bunches and an Oliver.
Speaker 4: He's from a black family. He started playing the piano
Speaker 4: at age five and enlisted in the US Navy at fifteen,
Speaker 4: back when they let you do that. He played music
Speaker 4: in the service during World War Two, and after being discharged,
Speaker 4: he went back to Houston and put together a sixteen
Speaker 4: piece band and played the clubs around the city. He
Speaker 4: was going by Amos Milburn at this point and he
Speaker 4: dropped to Joseph. Milburn's legacy and influence comes from those
Speaker 4: years right after World War Two. During the war, sophisticated
Speaker 4: jazz combos and the big bands. That's what was popular.
Speaker 4: The big band sounds Billie Holliday, Ben Crosby started getting popular,
Speaker 4: like the Andrews Sisters with the vocal harmonies. Know Boogie
Speaker 4: Woogee b Google Boy, that was a huge hit. Milburn
Speaker 4: went a step further into what is called the jump
Speaker 4: Blue style, which was louder, It was more energetic, It
Speaker 4: was focused more on rhythm, and the singer became the
Speaker 4: center of attention. Mostly in big bands, the singer was
Speaker 4: just part of the group, kind of stood in line
Speaker 4: with everybody else. Now the singer was more out front,
Speaker 4: which is kind of what we see in rock and
Speaker 4: roll as time goes forward. Milburn's style heavily influenced other musicians,
Speaker 4: the most famous of which would be Fats Domino. We've
Speaker 4: talked a lot about Fats Domino and how Fats Domino
Speaker 4: in turn influenced a lot of early rock and roll
Speaker 4: Jerry Lee Lewis and all that kind of stuff. So
Speaker 4: from playing in the Houston clubs Amos, Milburn got a
Speaker 4: record contract with Aladdin Records in Los Angeles. He recorded
Speaker 4: around eighty songs with them. He was very popular playing
Speaker 4: around Los Angeles, and he did well on tour with
Speaker 4: his full band, and since the style of music was
Speaker 4: about energy, having a good time, having lots of fun,
Speaker 4: a lot of the songs he did were about drinking
Speaker 4: and partying. Because go with what you Know, right, one
Speaker 4: of his best songs and best known songs, I should say,
Speaker 4: came out in nineteen fifty three. That is the one
Speaker 4: we're going to come back to in just a couple minutes.
Speaker 4: To be fair, he himself had a good time, but
Speaker 4: he did not have a drinking problem. He just sang
Speaker 4: about them. He did not really participate, but he was performing.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 4: Now, around that time, while touring, he decided to drop
Speaker 4: the band and continue as a solo act. He did
Speaker 4: well on tour still, but after about three years of touring,
Speaker 4: around nineteen fifty eight, he decided to go back to
Speaker 4: Houston and reform the band. Unfortunately, now his style was
Speaker 4: kind of falling out of favor because this is when
Speaker 4: early rock and roll was starting to really catch on.
Speaker 4: Nineteen fifty eight was when Johnny be Good by Chuck
Speaker 4: Berry came out Rumble by Link Ray, both of which
Speaker 4: put the electric guitar front and center and the piano
Speaker 4: was kind of going to the side. The piano and
Speaker 4: the saxophone. We're kind of going to the side. The
Speaker 4: Everly Brothers came out with new vocal harmonies. Some guy
Speaker 4: named Elvis was starting to get popular. I think he
Speaker 4: probably did okay for himself as time went on, but
Speaker 4: Milburn kept playing. His final recording happened in nineteen seventy seven,
Speaker 4: but by then he had suffered a stroke that affected
Speaker 4: his left side, so he could only play piano with
Speaker 4: his right hand. And what was cool when he was performing,
Speaker 4: other people in the band would actually come up and
Speaker 4: play the left hand part for him, which is the
Speaker 4: bass part and on the piano, So he would be
Speaker 4: playing the right hand, he'd be singing, and other people
Speaker 4: would walk up and just kind of fill in the
Speaker 4: left hand parts, which I think is awesome. That is
Speaker 4: musicianship as far as I'm concerned right there. Later on,
Speaker 4: he would have a second stroke that resulted in a
Speaker 4: leg amputation because of circulation problems, and an unfortunate third
Speaker 4: stroke was the fatal one for him. Amos Milburn died
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty at age fifty two and was buried
Speaker 4: in the Houston National cemetery now. The famous Milburn song
Speaker 4: that We're going to Hear was one that he did
Speaker 4: not write himself. It was written by Rudy Toomes, who
Speaker 4: wrote a number of songs, mostly in the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 4: Rudy himself was murdered in the hallway of his apartment
Speaker 4: building in Harlem, kind of cut down in his prime.
Speaker 4: Who knows what may have come after. But the name
Speaker 4: of this song is one Scotch, one Bourbon, one beer.
Speaker 4: The singer is in a bar trying to forget his
Speaker 4: girlfriend who went off somewhere. Who knows. The bartender just
Speaker 4: wants to close up, but the singer just keeps going
Speaker 4: on and keeps ordering one Scotch, one bourbon, one beer.
Speaker 4: It was on the charts for fourteen weeks in nineteen
Speaker 4: fifty three, which is pretty good. In nineteen sixty six,
Speaker 4: John Lee Hooker remade the song his way, changing the
Speaker 4: style into a Southern boogie and simplifying the lyrics. He
Speaker 4: changed the title to one Bourbon, one Scotch, one beer,
Speaker 4: which is how you may recognize it. A little bit
Speaker 4: more you may come to mind. And in nineteen seventy seven,
Speaker 4: George Thorogood remade the John Lee Hooker version. He added
Speaker 4: the story from another Hooker song, House Rent Boogies to
Speaker 4: explain the story. He gets kicked out of his apartment
Speaker 4: for not paying rent, so out the door he went.
Speaker 4: You may recognize that line from the George thurgood YEP.
Speaker 4: So he actually put two songs together to John Lee
Speaker 4: Hooker songs to make what would be the most famous
Speaker 4: version of the song. But it's two steps removed from
Speaker 4: the original nineteen fifty three Amos Milburn song One Scotch,
Speaker 4: one bourbon, one euro. Let's go back to the original
Speaker 4: and check it out.
Speaker 17: One Scotch, one bourbon, one Scotch, one bourbon.
Speaker 8: One bell.
Speaker 3: Breaths the bard and listening here, I need give the trouble,
Speaker 3: so have no f one scotchip, one burbon one. Now
Speaker 3: I don't want soda, no bubble.
Speaker 2: Come.
Speaker 3: You got what I'm won't, so please serve me some.
Speaker 3: Since my business been everything's lost, I'm on this kick
Speaker 3: and I get it off.
Speaker 7: One Scotch, one burber, one b.
Speaker 17: One Scotch, one bourbon, one.
Speaker 11: Breezes the barden.
Speaker 3: Listen. Yeah, I ain't dere for trouble, though I have
Speaker 3: no idea or one scotch, one burbery.
Speaker 17: Now my woman, she's started me on the street.
Speaker 3: I can't find her and she can't find me.
Speaker 17: She left this morning, said she wouldn't stay.
Speaker 3: She's been out all night and it's a break of day.
Speaker 17: One Scotch, one burber onondy, one scotch.
Speaker 4: One burber, one deer, being.
Speaker 3: Mistabad and listening. I ain't here for trouble, though, I
Speaker 3: have noe or one scotching.
Speaker 17: One burber, one.
Speaker 3: Oh well, one monvanda, make it strong.
Speaker 2: I got to find my baby, for.
Speaker 8: Tics are not long.
Speaker 17: One scotch, one burbon on, one scotch, one bourbon, one.
Speaker 3: Be as debard and listen here. I ain't here for trouble,
Speaker 3: so have no fear.
Speaker 17: One scotch, one burbon, one one scotch, one burbe.
Speaker 4: You can hear where Fats Domino got his influence from.
Speaker 2: That was awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was great. I love that kind I could
Speaker 4: sit back and listen to that all day. It's fun
Speaker 4: to play that kind of stuff too. So before the
Speaker 4: emails come in, we all know what beer is fermented
Speaker 4: grains and yeast. So what is the difference between scotch
Speaker 4: and bourbon? Someone should explain it, and I have it
Speaker 4: right here. The definition of bourbon. It's made in the US.
Speaker 4: It must contain fifty one percent corn in the mash
Speaker 4: and is aged in new charred oak barrels. There is
Speaker 4: no additional flavoring allowed. Scotch is made in Scotland from
Speaker 4: malted barley and it's aged at least three years in
Speaker 4: what is called mature oak caskets, meaning that the caskets
Speaker 4: were previously previously used to mature something else like wine
Speaker 4: or sherry or bourbon, and it gets some of the
Speaker 4: flavor from that. So Scott, did I say malted barley, Yes,
Speaker 4: malted barley. Malted means the grain is soaked in water
Speaker 4: and the grain is a lot to sprout, and then
Speaker 4: it's dried and then it's used to ferment. I didn't
Speaker 4: know that. I had to look that that.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that.
Speaker 4: I don't know what molten meant. So yeah, it's like
Speaker 4: the little grain is just trying and nope, you get
Speaker 4: dried out and then you get turned into something glorious
Speaker 4: as far as I am concerned, and ultimately you get
Speaker 4: made into an old fashion, which makes me very happy.
Speaker 4: So there you have it.
Speaker 2: Well, I remember something called a boiler maker, which you
Speaker 2: take it a mug of beer and drop a shot
Speaker 2: I guess a bourbon in it, and then just like
Speaker 2: drink it really fast. Yeah, yeah, that's I did that
Speaker 2: maybe once or twice, and I was like, oh no, no,
Speaker 2: no more no.
Speaker 5: And what's the other one?
Speaker 4: A car bum There's a few like that that you know,
Speaker 4: designed to you know, guzzle it isn't it. There's like
Speaker 4: a doctor pepper something, but there's a combination of two
Speaker 4: things that make it taste like like a beer and
Speaker 4: something that make it tastes like a doctor pepper. But
Speaker 4: if it's about chugging, it's not for me.
Speaker 2: It took me by surprise that I'll say, yeah, I wasn't.
Speaker 2: Oh how bad could it be? And oh boiler maker
Speaker 2: is that's right on the money that turns your stomach
Speaker 2: into a oh yeah no.
Speaker 4: No, I am such a lightweight that no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: no no no.
Speaker 5: So my question about that is do you not get
Speaker 5: hit in the nose with the shotglass?
Speaker 2: M I don't think you could feel it after that,
Speaker 2: but I don't remember that happening. But I was more like,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I thought my head was going
Speaker 2: to explode that. That was my pro got out, and I.
Speaker 5: Was always afraid to try it because I don't want
Speaker 5: to get hit in the nose with that.
Speaker 2: I can understand that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it wasn't a country song in that
Speaker 4: I got hit in the nose with a shocklass.
Speaker 2: I'm writing this.
Speaker 13: Down.
Speaker 4: I got hit in the nose with a shockglass.
Speaker 2: So I just stick to a Harvey wallbanger. So yeah,
Speaker 2: that was a while ago.
Speaker 4: Is there a difference between dropping the shotglass in it
Speaker 4: or just pouring whatever's in the shotglas? No, well they
Speaker 4: I know, it's like I guess this is part of
Speaker 4: the experience.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it starts to actually churn it really, you
Speaker 2: know it it bubbles, you know, it doesn't. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: lives up to its.
Speaker 4: U We should have found a bartender to join us
Speaker 4: for this one to answer all these questions. I didn't
Speaker 4: think of that. We may have to do that next
Speaker 4: time we do this topic, definitely, Yeah, all right, but
