Starbuck

[Botch]

This popped up on Farcebook, a one-hit wonder. What's ironic is this tune completely flooded my brain, about three months ago, and I had no idea who it was. Killer marimba solo!

Wow. Can I have some bread with that cheese?

That knocked me back in time 35+ years.

Yup! I hated most of what was on the radio in the 70's, but when I hear a song from then (especially one, like this, which I haven't heard in decades) it makes me smile/giggle! :angelic-green:

Lots of songs from the 70's that may seem cheesy now but I was 10 in 1974 so I thought a lot of those songs rocked!! Like you, I still smile when I hear them. This guy is Canadian so I am not sure how much airplay it got in the US.

Holy crap... Terry Jacks looks like Seth Rogan

I have that song in one of my iTunes playlists. I sampled a collection of the top 100 Billboards list from the 70's ( 1,000 songs) and kept 390 of them. I don't listen to them much but they sure do bring back memories of my childhood.

My buddy Bunny (who's recorded a lot of the music on your Guitar Hero game) was asking for iconic, yet underplayed, 60-80's songs to get licensing as ad songs for his newest project. I'd heard one just that day that I didn't know the name of, just by describing it ProgramGirl was able to post a video of the song I was thinking of! Check it out!
