This has been stuck in my head for about a week straight now.
I don’t care. I never get tired of Jackie Wilson.

Two tonight:
And this one-hit wonder’s monster hit in the homeland.
I used to hear this on fuzzy radios, and only when re-encountering it on YouTube did I learn the lyric “Hey little Donna, mmmm still wanna/You said to call you up when I was feeling drunk” ended with “You said to call you up when I was in Tronna.” Same diff, right? Lovely, lovely lyrics. Should’ve had more than one hit.

RIP Larry Coryell.
Yeah. <sigh> If I were a theist of some sort, I’d say he’s gone to join his old partner Alphonse in the great jam session in the sky, maybe with Miles and Joe Zawinul sitting in. I had this album; I’ve listened to Coryell since the early '70s, saw him live with the Eleventh House. It’s the depressing thing about getting old: you get to see all the mighty fall. I was recalling listening to the Tony Williams Lifetime around the same time, then realised that John McLaughlin is the only surviving member of the original lineup: Tony, Jack Bruce, Larry Young - all gone.

This is more of an earworm. I have been working on some German WW2 electrical equipment this week, And this stupid song kept getting stuck in my head. The song was from a cartoon that won a 1943 Academy Award. It is certainly “old school”.

If I ever get married, I want them to play this at my wedding. Organ or not.

Since we’re hitting media from my school years (Tiswas) elsewhere, have one that wasn’t being played at the school discos, but was still koff very popular:
Man2Man meets Man Parrish: Male Stripper
ETA: That’s the first time I’ve actually seen the video (pretty sure it didn’t make ‘Top of the Pops’…) And I’m glad to see that the subtext from the record & cover comes through loud and clear. I especially liked the subtle ‘control knob’ fondle, in the middle, there.
Exhibit B:
(Not actually explicit, but employers might not approve.)
Nope. No subtext there at all.
I still have that 12".
