defrogIncidentally, that last song I posted? “Love Jones” by Brighter Side Of Darkness?
It was the basis for “Basketball Jones” by Cheech And Chong, you know.
You can hear the resemblance, no?
FUN FACT: For a comedy novelty song, “Basketball Jones” has a pretty amazing musical line-up – George Harrison, Billy Preston, Nicky Hopkins, Darlene Love, Michelle Phillips (of the Mamas & Papas), Carole King, Jim Keltner and Tom Scott all played on it. According to legend, the song started with Cheech Marin singing and Tommy Chong on piano, and then their producer, Lou Adler, started grabbing whoever happened to be in the A&M studios at the time to sit in on the session, and they all made it up on the spot.
Now that’s comedy.
Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep at night,
This is dF
