Thirty Minutes Dept.- Frat House Frug! Now With SPECIAL MESSAGE!

Your Host

SPECIAL MESSAGE!!!!

This post is sorely under-performing, doing much worse than Hey Life! Look At Me! It's probably something to do with presentation, because it's just as enjoyable, in a very similar way. So my Very Special Message to you is, download this sucker, because it'll give you a little boost for at least thirty minutes. Ignore all the nonsense below and SMACK THIS LINK:

Hi, teens! I'm Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau! You'll know me from my swingin' hits on the happening Deutsche Grammophongesellschaft label! My dear friend Mr. Throckmorton has asked me to pen introductory screed to his latest collection of groovin' party tunes! Let's go, daddy-o!

Louie Louie, ich muss los. Louie Louie, ich muss los. Feines kleines Mädchen, sie wartet auf mich. Ich erreiche das Schiff übers Meer. Ich segle ganz allein auf dem Schiff. Ich glaube nicht, dass ich es je nach Hause schaffe. Louie Louie, ich sagte, ich muss los. Louie Louie, ich muss los. Drei Nächte und Tage segelte ich übers Meer. Ich denke ständig an das Mädchen. Auf dem Schiff träume ich, sie sei dort. Ich rieche die Rose in ihrem Haar. Louie Louie, ich muss los. Nun, Louie Louie, ich muss los. Ich sehe den Jamaica Moon über mir. Es wird nicht lange dauern, ich sehe meine Liebe. Ich nehme sie in meine Arme und dann sage ich ihr, dass ich nie wieder gehen werde. Louie Louie, ich muss los. Louie Louie, ich muss los. Ich sagte, ich muss los. Ich sagte, ich muss los. Also, ich muss los.

This, I'm sure you'll agree, evinces an emotional rigor worthy of Goethe, whose Die Wahlverwandtschaften engages the same transient melancholy, partakes of the same weltanschauung!

    1. This is for those of you who found Thirty Minutes In Lost Albion a soupçon too - shall we say? - nuanced? Which is to say, every one a you cheap ganefs. To those who accuse me of vulgarity, I say - "bullshit".

  2. ganef (gonnif?)--nice. Waiter, taste the soup...

    the punk band I was in once played a frat party under the guise of being a garage rock band; for that one night we woulda killed for a farfisa organ...we shoulda called Joe King Carrasco. It was a disaster, but for us we made real money that night.

  3. The mastering of this meticulously-curated archival initiative has met and exceeded all known technical norms the international recording industry recommends. Highs are crisp with no trace of shrillness. Mids are clear and well separated across a broad soundstage, and the low end is buttery and resonant.

    Here is the link, the link is here, this is the link:

  4. Crumbs, good to read the introduction by Dieter (as he was known to his friends) obviously delivered from the other side - well, he snuffed in 2012. Probably the greatest baritone ever to grace the recording studio. I was so fortunate to be in the audience when he gave a recital of Schubert songs at the Royal Festival Hall back in 1968, which generated 6 encores. I had taken a young lady who was so impressed she forced herself upon my frail body to slake her lustful desires. What could a poor boy do but oblige. Dunno about Goethe, I believe Nietzsche and his perspectivism was more appropriate, but that may be a moot point.

  6. farfegnugen, one of my appallingly few German words given the passport and all. Roughly translated as the sound of Panzers driving deep into Egypt...the rest of my German is limited to words my mother screamed at me in anger/frustration and the delightful desserts she made.

    1. Double Shot (Of My Baby's Love):

      Bin heute Morgen aufgewacht, mein Kopf war so schlimm
      Der schlimmste Kater, den ich je hatte
      Was ist mir letzte Nacht passiert
      Dieses Mädchen von mir, sie hat mich so sehr geliebt (ja) (oh, oh)
      Sie hat mich so lange geliebt und sie hat mich so sehr geliebt
      Ich bin schließlich in ihrem Vorgarten ohnmächtig geworden (whoo)
      Es war nicht Wein, von dem ich zu viel getrunken hatte
      Es war ein doppelter Schuss der Liebe meines Babys

      Doppelter Schuss der Liebe meines Babys, ja, ja, ja
      Doppelter Schuss der Liebe meines Babys, ja, ja, ja
      Ein Trank, von dem ich zu viel getrunken hatte
      Es war ein doppelter Schuss der Liebe meines Babys

      Es war so aufregend, dass es mir weh tat (ooh)
      Ich litt in Ekstase
      Sie brachte mich dazu, Purzelbäume zu schlagen und laut zu schreien (yah-hah)
      Ein Schluck ihrer Liebe und ich wandelte auf Wolken
      Eine Nacht pro Woche ist mehr als genug
      Es ist gut für mich, dass sie füll das Zeug nicht in Flaschen (Limonade)
      Nun, mein Herz beginnt zu fliegen wie eine Taube
      Wenn ich einen doppelten Schuss der Liebe meines Babys nehme

      Doppelten Schuss der Liebe meines Babys, ja, ja, ja
      Doppelten Schuss der Liebe meines Babys, ja, ja, ja
      Ein Trank, von dem ich zu viel hatte
      Es war ein doppelter Schuss der Liebe meines Babys

    2. This is epic. An amazing song up there with "Louie, Louie." Penned, I might add, by Cyril Vetter of BRLA, one of the Greek Fountains, which included Danny Cohen (better know as songwriter Casey Kelly, a childhood babysitter) and Duke Bardwell, who later played bass for Elvis. Nexy up, "Wooly Bully"?

    3. "She loved me so long and she loved me so hard
      I finally passed out in her front yard (whoo)"

      Keep yer Shakespeare, yer Proust, yer Homer, yer Dan Brown - this, to me, is Poetry.

    1. Great to hear that it's reaching that crucial 3.5y demographic! It started out as Cheetah Beat Part II, but took its own logical course. There's a couple of songs suggested by th' 4/5g©, but the feel is somehow different - raw, wild, high-octane fun, from that brief era when teens made fun the cornerstone of their culture. I'm re-reading Tom Wolfe's "Kandy-Kolored" and it makes a swell soundtrack. "Champagne eyes"!!! YOW!!!

      (Thanks, Eric - a little feedback is all I/we need.)

    2. Nice. I remember Viv Stanshall introducing some of his favourite music on the bbc back in the 80's, when he played Woolly Bully he said "great music to shave to", well I'll be using Frat House Frug! to motivate me to get the housework done, shaving whilst playing Frat House Frug! would be very dangerous.
