Twenty songs from 1968

Wherein More Details are available


Hey Jude is bloated and pretentious and a great song. Otis Redding is the man; truly, any mood you’re in Otis has a song for it. Though I haven’t checked “murderous rampage” so I may be overstating my case. I don’t remember Fifth Dimension’s version, but I love Laura Love’s cover of Stoned Soul Picnic. Still not much here to scare the old people. Was Jerry Butler the truck driving cohort in Smokey and the Bandit?

It's time to play "Song titles that work as inappropriate double entendres used by 60-year-old hookers":
  • Tighten up
  • Here comes the judge
  • Sealed With a kiss
  • Bend me shape me


Grade: B-

Bad songs = crossed out

No love for Tighten Up?

(plus the Nazz's Loosen Up is pretty fun, too)


(That's right, I've invoked The Todd, now what?)

No love and also no scorn. You're acting a bit defensive there.

I'm not acting defensive, I am defensive.

Wanna make something of it?

(OK, not really any reason to act that way, just frustrated that my site is down, that's all)

And I am enjoying this project of yours, so I'm just yapping, not really criticizing.

I think that's Jerry Reed that you're thinking of from Smokey and the Bandit. This is a great series, and with a project like this there's a sense of accomplishment. You know you've done something more than just a bunch of posts. Nice job.
