Mental Jukebox Song(s) of the Day – 01/13/19
“Build Me Up Buttercup” – The Foundations – 45 single. Not sure why this popped up. I have been watching Season One of American Gods and one episode featured “Runaround Sue” (Dion). The horn “stinger” in that song (da-da-da-da-da-da) is similar to the one on this song. Also, someone posted the Billboard Top 100 from 1969 at work so maybe this was on the list?
“20 Century Man” – The Kinks – Muswell Hillbillies. Finally watched all of the movie 20th Century with John Barrymore and Carole Lombard. One of the original screwball comedies from the same writers and director of my favorite of the genre, His Girl Friday. This is one of my favorite songs by the Kinks from my favorite studio album of theirs.
