Your First Music Purchase

[the_idle_threat]

First LP was American Beauty by The Grateful Dead.

OPF

Tyrone strolled to many a dead show wit my many hoes. Tyrone loves that white freaky hippy p*ssy. Tyrone prefers crack over acid.

Often, after a 3 day crack binge or when i've had to stab somebody, Tyrone will fall into a gentle state of melancholy, meditating on what it all means. Tyrone likes to listen to a Box of Rain at these times.

A live version of "Box of Rain" was playing in the background at the bar the other day, and sweet Christ, they're singing the refrain and do you think they can find the notes? Can they even come close? Negative. It was very hard to listen to.

I like American Beauty, but Workingman's is better IMO.

The first 45 I bought was this one:



My Mom made me buy it to replace the one my Sister had that I smashed the hell out of 'cuz she played it ALL THE DAMN TIME!!!!!!

Now those were the days!!

Sisters....

Woodbuck, I think I know the song you are talking about -- something about a Caddy and some other car racing?

the other car was trying to get the other driver to tell him how to get the car out of 2nd gear.

LOL, I remember that song...."hey buddy how do you get this car out of second gear!"

That's amazing that you would have that in your memory bank Superfan. WOW !

Your right on it !

I'd like to find out more about that particular release. I have amongst my hobbies "a certain love for excellent music". That 45 RPM really began it all for me as I grew to become a collector of music.

This particular 45 rpm release called (I believe... Beep Beep )is corny, but somehow I realize that it's important to me to at least know who made that recording etc.

Ahhh.... the will of man and time misspent.

" Tyrone is starting to sound like the ghetto Bizarro version of the SkinBasket. " superfan

Tyrone.

He's da maan wit the pipe.

Mr. Bigguns is to me... " a pseudo - urban ghetto life Master " .

Tyrone Bigguns is definitely "da Maan" ...

Now that would be... Mr. Bigguns ... to ALL here who are blessed with his philosophical and psychological takes on anything worthy of his time.

Mr. Bigguns, epitomizes the challenge to possibly some members here and to people elsewhere...

a challenge ... that must incorporate or usher in jealous restrant, because they wish they could be ... Sooooo COOL.

It's about 50 years since I've heard that song but it certainly was fun to listen to.

I recall it (that purchase) so clearly and I went all the way uptown to William Goldsteins Music store in Saint John,New Brunswick and sat in a private booth to listen to it to ensure my purchase.

Back then the 45's came in a brown paper sleeve with BLACK India Ink for the printing. That 45 is likely a collectable .

The Playmates, "Beep Beep"

(chorus)
Beep beep (sound of horn - beep beep!)
Beep beep (beep beep)
His horn went beep beep beep (beep beep)
While riding in my Cadillac
What to my surprise
A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one-third my size
The guy must have wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn

(chorus)

I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake
He must have thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn (beep beep)
I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn

(chorus)

My car went in to passing gear
And we took off with gust
And soon we were doing ninety
Must have left him in the dust
When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes
The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
(beep beep)
Now we're doing a hundred and ten
It certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace
The guy must have wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn

(beep beep)

Now we're doing a hundred and twenty
As fast as I could go
The Rambler pulled alongside of me
As if we were going slow
The fellow rolled his window down
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how can I get this car
out...
of...
second
gear!"
