Incredible Songs That Came Out of Nowhere and Led To Nothing

Bobby Gentry and the Ode To Billie Joe was one. Wow, whatever happened to her? The song was so polished and mysterious. Gale Garnett did the same thing. Her song haunted my youth. All about joy for nine months. Well, it was a year, but the meaning was obvious.

The greatest song that ever came out of nowhere and led to nothing was "Green-Eyed Lady" by Sugarloaf.

Recorded as an afterthought on a forgotten album by artists who never did anything bigger and better, it's nonsense lyrics were jotted down in a hurry out in the parking lot of the studio so that the lead singer had something to sing.

But download it off one of the peer-to-peers and listen to its drums track. Very original. Kinda jazzy, too.

PMS,

Do you happen to remember a song that was played alot on the radio in the early 70's that sounded like some woman moaning/screaming an orgasm?

I don't know who did that song or what the name of it was but it was played alot. It would have come out around '70 or '71. The way I remember it, the woman's voice on the track seemed to be moaning, "No, No, No , Don't...!" backed by some trippy jams.

But it was like listening to an intense sex scene. Or even maybe date-rape or something .

I remember seeing some preacher/commentator on tv in the mid 70s complaining about "a song on the radio where a woman moans in orgasm 30-something times". Never heard the song, though.

"The Great Gig in the Sky"
Or, as we all used to call it back in the '70's, "The Orgasm Song." Not since Ravel's Bolero... well, you get the idea. Again, this song was never my cup of tea, mostly because it was so weird and different for Floyd. I mean, back when we were teenagers, we used to giggle all through this song. Now, I think it's a great song. And one thing this new version does is really flesh out Clare Torry's impassioned vocals (I just got into an argument with someone who swore the singer was Aretha or Gladys or someone more "famous"). As the song ends, and her singing grows more calm, sedate, and centered, you can practically hear her light up a cigarette.

pink floyd and led to nothing?????

im going to have to disagree. the dark side of the moon was the bands first album that was coherent and deep from front to back. it set the stage for the next many albums to come.

tggits was a bridge that tied it together.

maybe im wrong on this but i thought it had to do with lyrics that were gibberish, ie, stairway to heaven.

got to worked up. ive spent plenty of time gathering their concerts on cd--- i have well over 250 of them.

best band ever.

Nahhh!

Anybody would know ANY of Pink Floyd's stuff. Christ! Those songs are burned into our great, great, great, great grandchildrens' neural networks already (they've been played so much).

No. The orgasm song was from around '71 and it must have been by some one hit wonder band. I remember hearing it all the time on the radio. It was kind of a slow trippy groove with this bitch wailing like she's gonna get gangbanged in the back of a Chevy van and then DOES get banged and LIKES it.

I think the tune came from some Russian folk song or something like that. At least it sounds a lot like that. Certainly it's a well-known tune, I'm sure of that.

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions...anyone heard of them?

This group has a song called "Suzanne", which I love. It apparently achieved very little commercial success though.

Here is the song ~

"Der Fuehrer's Face" by the great Spike Jones, 1942.
(It did lead to an Academy Award winning animated propaganda film from Disney--although some critics think Tex Avery's "Blitz Wolf" was the better film.)

Dr. Demento used to play that often.

"Timothy" on Wikipaedia

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Wiki', '"')Timothy" is a song written by Rupert Holmes and recorded by the Buoys in 1971, illustrating the unnerving story of three men trapped in a collapsed mine, two of whom apparently resort to cannibalism against the third (the titular character Timothy). Despite being censored or even banned outright by many U.S. radio stations due to its subject matter, the song managed to reach #17 on the Billboard Hot 100, making the Buoys one of the most unlikely one-hit wonders in American music history.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('source', 'L')yrics for: Timothy

Trapped in a mine that had caved in
And everyone knows the only ones left
Were Joe and me and Tim
When they broke through to pull us free
The only ones left to tell the tale
Were Joe and me

Timothy, Timothy, where on earth did you go?
Timothy, Timothy, God why don't I know?

Hungry as hell no food to eat
And Joe said that he would sell his soul
For just a piece of meat
Water enough to drink for two
And Joe said to me, "I'll have a swig
And then there's some for you."

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you
Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

I must have blacked out just around then
'Cause the very next thing that I could see
Was the light of the day again
My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy
Timothy...

It's either Love to Love You Baby by Donna Summer or Jungle Fever by The Chakachas

My vote goes for Richard Harris' Macarthur Park.... [smilie=eusa_wall.gif]

That's it!!! That's the one!!!

"Jungle Fever" by the Chakachas!

Jungle Fever by the Chakachas

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('source', 'T')he Chakachas were a Belgium-based group of Latin Soul studio musicians.

Also known as Les Chakachas or Los Chakachas, they were formed by band leader Gaston Bogaert, ex-Los Juano Boengs and ex-The Continentals, percussion (conga & tumba); Tito Puente's singer wife Kari Kenton, vocals & maracas; Vic Ingeveldt (Dutchman from Liege), sax; Charlie Lots, trumpet; Christian Marc, piano; Henri Breyre, guitar & backing vocals; and Bill Raymond, bass. All were native in Schaarbeek (a district of Brussels), or nearby Charleroi; Willebroek and Liege.

They started out in the late 1950s had a Belgian #1 in 1958 with Eso Es El Amor, which was sung in Spanish.

In 1962 they crept into the UK charts for the first time with Twist Twist, which reached #48.

Although they issued numerous recordings, they are best remembered as a one-hit wonder for their hit disco single Jungle Fever from 1972, which sold over a million copies in the U.S. and reached #3. In the UK it fared less well: despite some airplay soon after release it was later banned by the BBC, who took exception to the moaning and heavy breathing heard on the record, first by a woman and later by a man as well. It peaked at #29.

The song was covered in the movie Boogie Nights and on the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas soundtrack, being played on fictional radio station "Master Sounds 98.3".
