"Pushin' Too Hard" aka "You're Pushing Too Hard"

(Feb. 1967, highest chart pos. #1 WLS Chicago/#36 Hot 100,
#40 Cash Boxscene from Apr. 28, 1968, ep. of The Mothers-In-Law)

And we're off to a rockin' start with The Seeds, the LA-based psychedelic
garage rock band doing their signature song "Pushin' Too Hard." I have
two pieces of trivia to share with you. If you're watching the simulcast
of my show on YouTube, you saw The Seeds in the role of a hippie
band called The Warts and singing their big hit on a 1968 episode
of the TV sitcom The Mothers-In-Law. Lead singer Sky Saxon,
who wrote "Pushin' Too Hard," died June 25, 2009, the same
day the world lost The King of Pop Michael Jackson.


Hi, I'm Daisy Skye from the superhero TV series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I'm delighted to be joining forces with the other members of the Shady Bunch
DJ squadron here on S-P-M-M Powersonic Radio. Welcome to my new radio
show Power Surge featuring the electrifying sights & sounds of classic rock.
From this point on, I guarantee more rock with less talk... so let's roll!

Here's a rowdy relic from the summer of '68 performed by Philadelphia
area rock chick Joan Jett and her badass band The Blackhearts.
Seems Joan needs a check-up from the neck-up as she
declares-- "I Hate Myself For Loving You!"


"I Hate Myself For Loving You" - Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
(Aug./Sept. 1988, highest chart pos. #8 Hot 100/#10 Cash Box,
from May 1988 album Up Your Alley)




That was Philly filly Joan Jett,
hatin' on herself for loving you,
a girl power anthem from the
album Up Your Alley and a
top 10 hit single for Joan
and The Blackhearts in
the summer of 1988.

That's right - two Jetts for the price of one. Far from one hit wonders,
Joan Jett and The Blackhearts rode high on the chart throughout the 80s.
At the start of 1990, Joan covered a song by the Aussie band AC/DC.
Here's The Original Riot Grrrl doing-- "Dirty Deeds!"


"Dirty Deeds" - Joan Jett
(Feb./Mar. 1990, highest chart pos.
#36 Hot 100/#42 Cash Box)


Retiring the side with a double play,
that was The Queen of Rock'n Roll
Joan Jett covering the AC/DC hit
"Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap),"
and before that, a song Joan co-
wrote "I Hate Myself For Loving
You." I hate repeating myself, but
I'm Daisy Skye and I love you for
being here for the official debut of
my new radio show Power Surge
on S-P-M-M... where we dig-up
the greatest gems of classic rock.

Up next a pair of 21st century up-and-comers doing justice to a rock classic of
the 20th century. Canadian YouTube star Jadyn Rylee was born on Valentine's
Day, 2006, and began singing at the age of six. Her performances of covers
and original songs have drawn tens of millions of views on social media.
One week after her 12th birthday, Jayden uploaded the cover you are
about to witness, a collaboration with fellow Canadian singer,
composer, dancer, actress and fellow YouTuber Aviv Cohen.
Together the cute and capable Canucks make magic
doing their version of Aerosmith's best known
power ballad-- "Dream On!"

Jadyn Rylee and Aviv Cohen (Feb. 2018)

If you're just tuning in, I'm Daisy Johnson aka Skye aka Quake, newest member
of The Shady Bunch. I'm jolting you awake and blasting you back to the past
with Power Surge on S-P-M-M Powersonic Radio. Here's a great sound by
Boston rock singer and guitarist Billy Squier, another artist who enjoyed
a string of hits in the 80s. This is the first song on Billy's triple platinum
album Don't Say No. Let's get busy with Billy-- "In The Dark!"


"In The Dark" - Billy Squier
(Oct. 1981, highest chart pos. #7 Hot Mainstream Rock,
#35 Hot 100/#41 Cash Box


You just spent some time "In The Dark"
with rocker Billy Squier, a song he wrote
and a 1981 single that cracked the top 40
on the pop chart and brushed the top 5
on the Mainstream Rock survey.

Daisy Skye with you here on
S-P-M-M Ultrasonic Radio...

Now here's a trippy retro relic
by the San Diego based psych-
rock band Iron Butterfly.
 This, my friend, is--
"Termination!"


"Termination" - Iron Butterfly
(from June 1968 album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida)



A sonic blast from the past - flower power from Daisy's woofers to your
ears - that was "Termination," a psyched-out song by Iron Butterfly
from their multi-platinum 1968 album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Daily Skye Johnson behind the mic sending shockwaves to
knock your socks, only on S-P-M-M... where the rock never
stops. Time for another rough ride with-- Steppenwolf! 


"Hey Lawdy Mama" - Steppenwolf
(Apr./May 1970, highest chart pos. #21 Cash Box/#35 Hot 100)

Making a run at the top 20 on Cash Box in the spring of '70, that 
was lead zinger John Kay and his psych-blues-acid rock band
Steppenwolf doing the biker biggie "Hey Lawdy Mama." 


That wraps up my first complete show on S-P-M-M.
I hope you enjoyed this super set of classic rock nuggets.



Stay tuned. Coming up on the B side of news, it's a
sneak preview of another new series - Shady's Angels -
coming soon to Shady's Place Music & Memories.

And I'll be back soon to blow you away with another Power Surge earquake.
This I promise - on my watch the sound of pure unadulterated rock will prevail.
 To play us off, here are Ritchie Blackmore and his British band Deep Purple
the week before Halloween 1968 entertaining Hef, Barbi and the pretty people
at the Playboy Manson on the TV show Playboy After Dark. The pioneers of
 hard rock and heavy metal perform their top 5 charting hit cover of "Hush,"
a Joe South song originally waxed by Billy Joe Royal. Now this is
Daisy Skye saying be good, stay vigilant and see you next time!


"Hush" - Deep Purple
(Sept. 1968, highest chart pos. #4 Hot 100 & Cash Box,
