Brian & Toto Ask, "Is Shady's Place Going to the Dogs?" SPMM's Deejay Dawgs Bark "3 Cheers for 13 Years!"

Hi, Folks!

I'm Brian Griffin.

As I'm sure you know,

I'm the personable pooch

from Family Guy and a

Shady Bunch deejay...

host of Eclectic Avenue

right here on S-P-M-M

Retrosonic Radio.

And I'm Toto Moto.

I make no bones about the fact that I'm

Shady Del Knight's dog. I'm also the blog

mascot, Chief Petting Officer and a DJ -

The Hound of Sound on S-P-M-M, host

of Toto's Top Tunes Time Tunnel.

My motto: "I aim to fleas!"

Today Brian and I are gonna start from
scratch (BA-DUM-BUMP) and help
Shady salivate his 13th anniversary
as a blogger including three years
of bringing you music and fun

here at Shady's Place.

Toto and I will each play a favorite song,

and we will be introducing three exciting

radio personalities who will be joining

The Shady Bunch deejay staff full time

beginning next year. I'll start us off.

In 1990, rapper M.C. Hammer topped

the R&B chart with his signature song

"U Can't Touch This." Here to do a

parody of the song is Peter Griffin,

my human on Family Guy. Peter

sings-- "Can't Touch Me!"

"Can't Touch Me" - Peter Griffin

(sung to the tune of "U Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer,

orig. May/June 1990, highest chart pos. #1 R&B/#4 Cash Box,

Hi everyone!

I'm Morgan Brody.

You might recognize me as the CSI level III on
the TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
I'm happy to let you know that, beginning
next year, I'll be the host of a new radio
show here on S-P-M-M. It'll be called
CSI: Cool Song Investigation.

Now I might look like the typical

girl next door, your kid sister

or a fashionista mall rat,

but I assure you that I'm

a seasoned professional.

I'm meticulous in my work. I dot every
"i" and cross every genre to bring you the
best and coolest tunes in the music world.

As a preview of my show I dug up a great performance by an exciting young English

vocalist named Amelia Rendell. In 2016,

Amelia sang lead for the Stanley Dee

tribute band in a live show at a London

pub. Watch and listen as Amelia and the

band delight the crowd with their cover

of "Do It Again," the Steely Dan song

that brushed the top 5 in 1973.

"Do It Again" - Steely Dan cover by Stanley Dee tribute band
feat. Amelia Rendell (Aug. 2016 perf. at Half Moon Pub
in Putney, SW London, UK)

Isn't Amelia great? Okay, I uncovered

another fantastic cover song for you.

It was recorded by Eden's Crush, a

Los Angeles based pop girl group

created in 2001 on the now defunct

WB Network's TV series Popstars.

The Eden's Crush lineup included

Nicole Scherzinger who found fame

a few years later as lead singer of the

Pussycat Dolls. In 2001 Eden's Crush

released an album that contains their

version of "The Glamorous Life," the

song written by Prince and first waxed

by singer and percussionist Sheila E.

In 1984 Sheila E.'s single reached the

top 10 on the pop chart and went all

the way to number one on the Dance

survey. The cover by Eden's Crush

is way cool. Let's investigate!

(from May 2001 album Popstars)

Hi, I'm Evie Barret.

I'm the new sheriff in the tiny town

of Willard's Mill, New Hampshire,

on the comedy horror TV series
Stan Against Evil.

My new radio show, coming in 2022,
is called Good Verses Evie, get it?

On Good Verses Evie I'll play songs with
lyrics that inspire, stir your emotions and
make you think, and I've got a couple of

Beatlesque samples. The first is a famous

show tune performed by Emily Linge, a

gifted young singer & musician in Dubai.

Originally recorded in 1950 and used in

the 1957 musical The Music Man, the

song was made even more famous by

The Beatles who waxed it in 1963.

Here are Emily Linge and her music teacher

Simon Tomkins doing-- "Till There Was You."

Here's another one I'm sure you
remember. In the late summer
and early fall of 1971, ex-Beatle
Paul McCartney and his wife

Linda topped the U.S. chart
with a lyric rich song that

was the first in a string of
post-Beatle number one hit
singles for Paul in America.

Well hello there, Shady. That's right,
it's me, your old buddy, you old pal,

The Guy

Under the Seats.

Bet you conveniently forgot all about me since

the last time I was here. Bet you wish I didn't

even exist so that you could continue your

reign as self-proclaimed leader of the free

blog world unopposed. Well I got news, pal.

You're gonna regret the day your were born,

Mr. Poopy Pants, because I'm back and I'm

here to stay, here to make your life a living

hell as a new member of your illustrious

Shady Bunch DJ squad starting in 2022.

I adopted as my own and made a lot better, will still
be known as Eighties Greaties.

Hi again, folks. This is your old hi-fi fido,
Toto Moto. On Top Tunes Time Tunnel
I spin the super sounds of the Swingin' 60s.
Here's a hit single that bridged the gap
between two musical eras, the innocent
teen pop years of the 50s and early 60s,
and the rock band years of mid to late 60s
when pop music turned harder and heavier.

Believed to be dirty, the ditty was banned

"The Pied Piper" - Crispian St. Peters

(June/July 1966, highest chart pos. #4 Hot 100 & Cash Box)

Based on the German folklore fairy tale The Pied Piper of Hamelin, that was

"The Pied Piper" by English pop singer Crispian St. Peters, a cover of a song

penned and originally recorded by the American songwriting and performing

duo The Changin' Times. St. Pete made the song famous in the summer of '66

with a single that went top 5 in the U.S. and UK and topped the chart in Canada.

I'm a Cocker Spaniel, not the best of ratters,

All seven of these songs were hits in the U.S. but were waxed across the pond,
and I don't mean the one I just made on the floor in the hall. Let's lay the
foundation for this mini British Invasion by recalling  "The Bad Bad
Old Days" before Jerky Treats were invented-- The Foundations!

"In The Bad, Bad Old Days (Before You Loved Me)" - The Foundations
(Apr. 1969. highest chart pos. #26 Cash Box/#51 Hot 100)

Finishing in the Top 30 on Cash Box but missing the Top 50 on Billboard,

go figure, that was "In The Bad, Bad Old Days (Before You Loved Me),"

a groovy sound from the spring of '69 by the mixed race, mixed

nationality UK soul band The Foundations.

Shady's dog Toto Moto keeping you company in the

wee small hours of the morning here on S-P-M-M...

the station that's #1 for music and fun, and up next

The Hollies, an English pop-rock band known for

their glorious three part harmony and long string

of hits at home and stateside. Seems The Hollies

had more good songs than they knew what to do

with. In May of 1967 two of their singles were

released at the same time and the records

competed against each other. "Carrie-Anne"

made the top 10, eclipsing the Hollies

single on a different label that had

been released three weeks earlier.

As a result, this song peaked near the bottom of the top 30 and shoulda gone

 higher. The Hollies now with a hit that missed-- "Pay You Back With Interest!"

"Pay You Back With Interest" - The Hollies

(June/July 1967, highest chart pos. #28 Hot 100/#29 Cash Box)

Those were the Hollies and their under-performing

single "Pay You Back With Interest," a record that

died on the vine when "Carrie-Anne" came long.

Toto Moto and Brian Griffin Bark in Perfect Harmony: "I Don't Know Why I Love This Commercial... But I Do!"

SHADY DEL KNIGHT WILL RECEIVE COMPENSATION

IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE MILLION DOLLARS

IN RETURN FOR PUBLISHING THIS ARTICLE

EXTOLLING THE VIRTUES OF

DOCTOR SNAGGLETOOTH'S

BACON FLAVORED DENTAL CREAM.

Hi, folks! It's me,

Chief Petting Officer
Toto Moto, the jolly
Shady's Place mascot

and your hound of

sound on S-P-M-M

Retrosonic Radio!

And I'm

Brian Griffin

from Family Guy...

another member of

The Shady Bunch

deejay staff.

Toto and I are poking our snouts in to let

you know that Shady's move went well.

Starting today he is easing back into

blogging and will visit you soon.

And with Valentine's Day fast
approaching... me and my
bowwow buddy Brian are

gonna throw you a bone
and bark the praises of our
favorite television commercial.
It's number one with a bullet,
the hottest spot in the land, the
most popular and talked about
commercial of 2020. It's the
one produced for the travel tech
company Expedia to advertise
their Expedia App. The tagline
reads: “Everything Your Trip
Needs for Everyone You Love.”

The commercial's catchy
jingle introduces to a
brand new and much
younger audience of TV
viewers an oldie but goody
entitled (I don't know why)
"But I Do," a top 5 charting
single released in 1961 by
R&B singer Clarence

"Frogman" Henry.
Check it out!

I don't know about you, Toto, but I could almost

hear the oohs and aahs of viewers all over the

country when it showed a closeup of that cute

Whippet gazing at his human mommy as she

soaked in a bubble bath and used

the Expedia App on her phone

to browse pet friendly vacation rentals

for an upcoming family trip.

Just call me snoopy, Brian,

but I did some digging and

found lots of people on

social media reacting to

Expedia's "Pet Friendly"

commercial. Many of

them think the spot is

supercalifragilistic-

Expedialidocious.

Just look are some

of their comments!

"I ❤ this commercial!"

"Love the song."

"Who is the actress? Love that song too."

(TOTO MOTO: She's Toronto-based actress Erica Levene.)

"The Whippet has such a cute little mug-- sold me on Expedia!"

"Love this commerical, the actress, dog and song.
Short and to the point, well done Expedia!"

"I love your commercial, the clumsy husband, the dog just is the high point!"

"Such a cute commercial, love the dog the most!"

"Love the song, the lady in the bath, and the dog, just perfect."

"I love this commercial: the song, whole family and the dog. Also I love Expedia!"

"My most fav advert where the lady and dog look at each other with so much love."

"She rocks! This is quite literally the best commercial I have seen in a while."

"I love this commercial. It is the ONLY one I will stop and listen to.

The look on the Black ladies face, her boy in the car and the last

look between the lady and the dog is precious. What ever

ad firm produced this should get an award."

(BRIAN: Credit for the spot goes to Razorfish Digital Agency and 180LA,
a creative boutique under the Wunderman Advertising umbrella.)

"This ad just grows on you: the kids, the dad, the mom, the dog

and the frogman song. Stuck in my head for weeks now.

Don't know why I love it, but I do. :( "

"I lovvvvveeeee that dog!!!!!"

"More of this whippet please!!!"

Hey Brian, all that

puppy love reminds me

of another great old

song - "Whippet!"

Now Whippet

Into shape

Shape it up

Get straight

Go forward

Move ahead

Try to detect it

It's not too late

To Whippet

Whippet good

Whippet good and, we hope you folks agree,

that Expedia commercial is, as Tony the

Tiger would say..."Gr-r-reat!"

your Hi-fi Fido, your Musical Mutt,
your All Nite Satellite, welcoming
you into my wormhole, the Top
Tunes Time Tunnel, for another
fun-filled trip back to the
best years of your life!

To open the show, we flashed back to the British Invasion in 1964 and listened

to a new enhanced version of "Just One Look," the fist single to reach the U.S.

chart by the English pop-rock band The Hollies, a cover of the top 10 hit the

previous year for American R&B singer Doris Troy who co-wrote the song.

Amazingly, the Hollies fabulous version lasted only one week on the U.S.

chart at #98 while soaring to #2 back home in the UK. When reissued

in the states in 1967 the single cracked the top 50 but should have

done better, doggone it!

In 1966 the British Invasion was followed by a Spanish Invasion
of sorts in the form of Los Bravos, a beat band from Madrid
that scored a top 5 hit in the UK and here in the states
with "Black Is Black."

CLICK TO START THE VIDEO NOW!

Two years later Los Bravos released another rousing single that brushed

the top 50 stateside, a song written by members of the Aussie band

The Easybeats. The excitement meter is pegged as Los Bravos

performs-- "Bring a Little Lovin'."

"Bring A Little Lovin'" - Los Bravos

(June 1968, highest chart pos. #51)

That was "Bring A Little Lovin'" by the Spanish band Los Bravos,

a minor hit in America that deserved to be a major hit!

If you're just tuning in, I'm Toto Moto,

your Rover of the Radio, the Dawg

who Put the "WOW" in Bowwow...

and you're traveling through my

Top Tunes Time Tunnel here

on S-P-M-M... the station

I used to chase a feline named Felix,

and next, here's another Felix who's

a very cool cat. He's Felix Cavaliere

who, along with Eddie Brigati, Gene

Cornish and Dino Danelli, made up

the exciting blue-eyed soul quartet

The Young Rascals... one of the

most popular acts of the 60s.

CLICK TO START THE VIDEO NOW!

From 1966 to '68 the Jersey boys placed nine singles in the top 20

and here's one of them. From the summer of '66, a song written

by Eddie and Felix-- "You Better Run!"

"You Better Run" - The Young Rascals

(July 1966, highest chart pos. #20)

Old school's the rule and every song is certifiably K-9 cool here in
Toto's Time Tunnel - the Paws that Refreshes - and you just heard from
Felix the musical cat and his group doing "You Better Run," a single
released when they were still "Young" - before they shortened
their name to The Rascals.

Shady's dog Toto with you on the radio,

and I'll be doggone if I don't get a chuckle

"Long Green" - The Kingsmen

(Jan./Feb. 1965, uncharted B side of "The Jolly Green Giant")

The Kingsmen with "Long Green (the root of evil)," the fab flip on the

back side of "The "Jolly Green Giant" single. "Long Green" was also
released on the band's 1964 album The Kingsmen Volume II and
again on the 1965 album The Kingsmen Volume 3.

Wassup, pup? Chief Petting Officer Toto behind the mic on

by spinning the best sounds of the 60s here in the Time Tunnel.

Back across the pond we go for one of the

coolest grooves featured on Hullaballoo

London. The Blue Flames, a British R&B

jazz band, were the backing musicians for

English singer Billy Fury until he sacked

them for being "too jazzy" and replaced

them with another band, The Tornados,

the guys who recorded the instrumental

hit "Telstar." Out on their own with key-

boardist Georgie Fame taking over on

lead vocals, The Blue Flames burned up

the chart with a groovy cover of "Yeh Yeh,"

originally recorded by Afro-Cuban per-

cussionist Mongo Santamaría, the artist

best known for his hit "Watermelon Man,"

a standard written by Herbie Hancock.

Do I dig this sound from Georgie Fame? "Yeh Yeh!"

That's what I say, I say-- "Yeh Yeh!"

"Yeh, Yeh" - Georgie Fame And The Blue Flames

(Feb./Mar. 1965, highest chart pos. #21 Hot 100/#1 UK)

Georgie Fame and The Blue Flames with "Yeh, Yeh," a great song you don't hear

very often on oldies radio. Leave it to me, your Hound of Sound, to find it and

play it for you. "Yeh, Yeh" brings back marvelous memories of Brian Epstein

hosting Hullabaloo London during those exciting years of The Brit Invasion.

"Don't You Care" - The Buckinghams

(Mar./Apr. 1967, highest chart pos. #6)

From the Windy City, those were The Buckinghams with "Don't You Care,"

a sad song that makes you happy when you listen to it. "Don't You Care"

was one of the group's five top 10 hits of the mid 60s if you count

the Cash Box chart along with Billboard.
