mr jason Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Cool, I assumed it was gonna be a version I've seen before, but it wasn't!Thanks for the link Brian. Has anyone heard The Bay City Rollers version of Lets Pretend? I have some BCR LPs somewhere, from when I was a kid, but can't find them.. I looked on YouTube for footage of them doing that song, but nothing..I really wanna hear how their cover turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmfc1 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Noted TV critic Tom Shales discussed the life of Mike Douglas here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/11/AR2006081100403.html and in doing so, somehow equated The Raspberries with the Electric Prunes:------------------------------------------------Blogs looking back on the Douglas era yesterday recalled that even though he sang big-band crooner tunes, the guest list on his show over the years included such rock and pop groups as the Beach Boys, the Box Tops, the Cowsills and the Turtles -- and such lesser-known if not completely obscure acts as the Electric Prunes and the Raspberries. It was like East meeting West, and if the combination seemed incongruous, it was driven by a simple economic reality: All but the most rabidly antisocial groups wanted to sell records, and television was the Big Store.

LC Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Good stuff! I hadn't seen that one. I love the notes by visitors to the web site. Four best comments: ------------------------------------------4) 10/10 song ! Thanks for posting it! And Eric is playing that white Gibson that Joan Jett would later buy off him! There is a documentary from the 70s on how they recorded this song. Does anyone have it?3) Eric Carmen is a god! I found a cassette of his first solo album last month and I can't stop playing "My Girl." Brilliant! - thanks for stirring!2) This song is like some dream combination of Roy Orbison and The Who, conceived by God and channeled through 4 talented boys from Cleveland. Thanks for posting!1) This song was on the radio the night I lost my virginity in the backseat of a Ford Maverick, not an easy task! Love this song!--------------------------------------(PS: Back seat of a Ford Maverick? Talk about a tight squeeze...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellece Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hello, all! I am *way* overdue in posting here; I kinda lost this place for like 3 years, hee. But, I'm happy to be back now! I came here today with the intention of posting a different link to a Rapsberries performance of "Go All the Way" which is also on YouTube, and I spotted this thread, so I decided to add on here instead of making a new thread. I found this clip on YouTube recently, and I keep watching it because I get tickled at how Eric sings, "Go all the way..." he says it like, "Go all the wehhh!" and I just dissolve into giggles over it every time I watch the clip. I thought others might want to see it too, since it's so.. cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTNJCA2cfgg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prettymom777 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Is this what you mean, even if it's been ten years? Addendum: I copy and paste now anyway, since my laptop doesn't come with a player or burner. Another thing for my 'things to do list'. I have a very long file for my favorite URLs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
