What's your favorite piece of absurd music trivia?

I read once that Traffic did a song that was filmed for Magical Mystery Tour but it was cut from the movie. I've never seen this verified. Anyone have any info on this?

 

Also not Irish: Any of the Pogues except Philip Chevron and Terry Woods, and any of the Dropkick Murphys.

 

I think that one is true. From his website:

"For a few months, Glen Campbell toured as a member of the Beach Boys, replacing Brian Wilson at the time. His guitar skills can also be heard on their Pet Sounds album."

 

That's right but they were both loud mouth bullies.I think Goldman wrote a book on Lenny Bruce too.Thanks for correction.[/QUOTE]
and Elvis.
The conclusions he would often reach were a real stretch but there are those who defend his (and others)raw research.

 

So did I, but I was only 7 years old at the time and considered too young.

(Just kidding)

 

Here?Filming: Magical Mystery Tour
I've heard it before I ever read it there but I can't recall where I heard it.

 

I think that was Richard Gere. What's with gerbils anyway? They're rather large. Sounds painful.

 

I person I knew asked Dave Mason who's feet they were and he said they were his!

 

Awesome. Thanks for the link.

 

It couldn't be. Dave Mason has two left feet.

 

The clip of Traffic is included in the MMT Blu-ray and DVD.

 

I don't remember them but I haven't watched this in a long long time. Just provided the link.

 

Wow, really? I had no idea it still existed.

 

You can see Glen’s picture at the top right (in a bit) of the gatefold of 1976’s 16 Big Ones:

 

Gere claims this is a rumor started by Sylvester Stallone. When they shot The Lords of Flatbush together, they constantly argued and ended up hating each other. Gere originally was cast as Chico in the film and they (Gere and Stallone) actually ended up fighting so much that they recast the role after Stallone insisted. Perry King replaced Gere.

 

Kings of Leon were in the studio, rehearsing a song they were working on, and the lead singer was singing "Set us on fire", when an engineer walked in and said "Sex on fire, huh?"

 

Maybe HE's the one that Richard Thompson is dancing with in "Two Left Feet".

 

It is said that drummer Peter Criss was the only member of Kiss, in early 1975, to own a suit within his home wardrobe.

(I'm surprised even Peter owned one to be honest).

The suits used on the famous and highly comical cover photo shoot for Dressed To Kill feature the foursome in suits owned by Casablanca President Neil Bogart.

 

John Lennon may have urinated on a nun.
He may have even relieved himself in Jane Mansfield's drink.
But he definitely did NOT pee on a Capitol Record's recording console;
That was Keith Moon.

 

And Harry Nilsson?

 

Don't cross the streams.

 

James Brown and Little Anthony were an item back in the sixties

 

Yeah. Now that's what I call getting the ol' "Hairy Moon"

Worst band name ever.

 

When did Little Anthony have time? He's got 8 kids!

 

So much material here. Hope this is new.
Roy Halee,most associated with his work with Simon & Garfunkel,has a dad with an interesting history. Also named Roy Halee, Dad was the singing voice of Mighty Mouse for Terrytoons;this includes the recording that comedian Andy Kaufman used to lip sync the best past of the Mighty Mouse Theme:"Here I come to sane the day!"-that voice was Roy Hallee. Wiki also lists Roy as the voice for Heckle & Jeckle Terrytoons from 1951 to 1961. Another great bit of 'toon music trivia from Greg Ehrbar's column,Animation Spin,on Jerry Beck's Cartoon Research site. Backup-Mitch Miller's Orchestra and the Sandpipers(obviously not the A&M group). That MM record originally sold for twenty-five cents from Golden Records.
Another nugget Ehrbar about the song: Marshall Barer,who wrote the MM theme while in a taxi en route to the studio,also did the music for Carol Burnett's Broadway debut,Once Upon A Mattress.
