This Silver Anniversary Anthology (number 25, doncha know) has a super-broad spectrum of songs I love.  Comments on a few tracks:

Track 5:  When “Condition Red” talks about the girl’s parents not liking that scraggly long hair, that’s probably the way my own parents (and Joyce’s) felt about me!

Track 6:  “Kill Kill Kill” is a song from a 1968 Get Smart episode, recorded in 1985 by Painters & Dockers.  Don’t try it at home, or anywhere else!

Track 7:  I been to Three Chord City, but I can’t live there forever!

Track 11:  A real-life “Raggedy Ann” was the one for me, too!  Though she was much spiffier than me, kind of opposite from the gal in this song.

Track 13:  “The Dream of the West” tickles me as only a wannabe Western song can!  (Yip Yip Coyote’s from the UK.)

Track 15:  Why can’t we all be like Captain Kangaroo? Always kind, never too hurried!

Track 17:  Man, I love the insouciance of Rosie Future’s singing!

Track 19:  Even if the swaggering orchestra is a little too too, Keely Smith’s strong, sultry voice can make me wait as long as she wants!

Track 20:  I edited the last track from several resources, including from the Beatles Remixers Group.  I always wondered what the medley would sound like with “Her Majesty” in its intended place, between "Mean Mr. Mustard" and "Polythene Pam."  I mean, When Mean Mr Mustard shouts at the Queen, he must be yelling “Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl,” right?

THIS LINK GOOD FOR THREE DAYS.

PERMANENT LINK.

Hope you find a little ear candy!  Let me know if the medley is crunchy enough.

See you Thursday, fellow pop fans!
