I had a vague memory of this. Which is what I consider a good day.

Mick Scott & Peter Gerlach, "No Head, No Backstage Pass" (sorry, no video....)

It's been about 45 years, but off the top of my head:

Now I don't play me no electric guitar
I just do sound for the group
But if you wanna meet a rock-n-roll star
You gotta put out for the troops

A lot of the rest of it was not so sensitive and polite.

Peter (who will add that we wrote it in the time it took to sing it; good buzz going that night!)

From the sublime to the ridiculous: Gilbert O'Sullivan, "Alone Again, Naturally".

Ridiculous? Some nice chord changes in there, if you listen past the orchestration. Melody just off-parlando, that's a classic in my book. Plus the lyrics get dark in places.

There was a cover version of the song in Dutch, with a completely different subject matter, where the chorus ends with a line that has made it into an everyday expression, "Toen was geluk heel gewoon" ("Everybody was just happy back then").

We was young, back in the TopPop days, when stars would come to lip-sync on the Dutch telly (or the ELO clip a few posts up, from the same show). So I may be a little prejudiced.

Well, Adriaan, I was young when I saw him do it on The Midnight Special (a US TV show that stole it's name from a radio show on WFMT in Chicago, and didn't do lip synching), and it made me itch back then; still does.

If that’s true, than the radio show stole it from the traditional whose lyrics were first published in 1905.  It was first recorded in 1926 by Dave “Pistol Pete” Cutrell, with the more well-known version recorded by Lead Belly in 1934. 

Also, shenanigans!!!!!   (This is gonna be good).  The Gilbert O'Sullivan tune has already been played on 2/2/20 by … wait for it …. Cozmik Cowboy himself!!!!

We're still on Bobby and the boyz.

Yes, they stole it from the song; it was a folkie show.

And may I say - well, fiddlesticks!  I searched each word, each pair of words, and the whole thing, and it came up clean every dern time!
I am about convinced that the "Search" function is part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to drive me batshit crazy.
