Crocodile Rock & Dr. Teeth


Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are the house band on The Muppet Show.
They mostly stick to rock music, but they're capable of playing other styles, including jazz and (unwillingly) classical.
Although Dr. Teeth is the leader, he is not the only one to provide lead vocals.
Floyd Pepper is often a lead singer on songs, and Janice is lead singer on a handful of songs.






This next song is originally from Buck Owens and was a No. 1 hit in the country charts of the USA in 1964. One year later, 1965, the Beatles covered this song - and they did it very well. There also exists a version of Ringo Starr and Buck Owens together, recorded in the seventies.

Everly Brothers - Nice Fmily


Watch the Everlies sing their hits 'Wake up little Susie' and 'Should we tell him' in 1958.

51 years ago!

This was written by the husband and wife team of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant, who wrote most of The Everly Brothers songs in the '50s. Their songs were also recorded by Bob Dylan, Elvis, and Buddy Holly.

This is about a young couple who fall asleep at the drive-in, realize they are out past curfew, and make up a story to tell Susie's parents.

Some Boston radio stations banned this because of the lyrics. At the time, staying out late with a girl was a little controversial.

For The Everly Brothers, this was the first of 4 US #1 hits. It also went to #1 on the Country & Western charts.

At an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show while campaigning for President in year 2000, George W. Bush was asked by Oprah what his favorite song was. He said: "Wake Up Little Susie - by Buddy Holly."

Simon and Garfunkel played this at their 1981 concert in Central Park. The live recording was released as a single the next year and hit #27 in the US.

Chet Atkins played guitar on this. Atkins, who died of cancer in 2001, was a Nashville musician who created a distinctive sound using a 3-fingered picking technique.

Jessica Simpson - "A Public Affair"

I just LOVE listening to it!! Unlike some people, I'm proud to own this album. I definitely got my money's worth!!

‘A Public Affair’ it is the right kind of new disco that I love that isn't too cheesy or overdone [like some others on this album]. Good job.

In my opinion, "A Public Affair" has got to be one of the best albums that Jessica Simpson has EVER put out!!

This video from the more talented Simpson sister in which is probably the one of the catchiest pop sons I have heard in quite some time :
