Don't have my greatest hits CD handy, but I think the actual name of that was Long Live Our Love.

Yes, you're absolutely right. It was Long Live Our Love and I think the subtitle, IIRC the label on my 45 record, When Johnny Comes Marching Home was the subtitle. Sorry about that.:)

Can that still qualify as a Memorial Day stiff?

I remember a GREAT rocking version of this song from my youth in the early 60s. It was played on WDRC in Hartford (wasn't everything), but I can't recall who did it.

Anybody?

Hi Debaser,

You wouldn't happen to be talkin' about Jerry Cole's version of White Cliffs would you from 1959?

Used to be with The Champs sippin' Tequila.
 
I heard this one on the Muzak sytem at Dollar General, where you generally pay a dollar for something that's worth 50 cents. It was The Flirts Don't Put Another Dime In The Jukebox, the rebuttal to "I Love Rock n Roll." Later in the day, I'm slingin' mud and Willie the Tagger has this horrible compilation CD in his DeWalt industrial strength diamond plate juke box and it's playing "It's A Mistake" by Men At Work. I felt like I hit the stiff lottery.

They're building those too, now? Or did it require some modifications? Hard drive based, or CD compatible. Does it bear the Classic Yellow & Black scheme? Available retail, or is somebody still looking for it? :D
 
Classic black and yellow. Diamond plate appears to be a modification....

Nice! Audio port for satellite radio (ain't that grand!)...audio cord extra!! Hmmm, who gets the residuals on that accessory!! Play it again Sam!!
 
The radio is solid, but it's over-priced if purchased by itself. Back in the day, suppliers gave you a discount on the box if you bought a certain amount of product. Kinda like S&H green stamps. The radio sounds good, the speakers are clean, even when it's turned up to "11" and the box is solid. We've had hammers and ladders fall on it. One of the crew even used it as a step-stool for half a job. The diamond plate, as Rox suspected, is an add-on. Mounted with four screws across the back, it holds an vertical mount Sanyo beat-to-crap CD player that still works. It's plugged into the port (wires not included.)
 
S & H Green Stamps...I must be moving into a new demographic. I remember licking those puppies to stick in the book...Mom said it would be fun!! :mad:
I like the idea of taking the pot to "11"...tests the equipment!
Nothing beats a radio that can stand up to that kind of punishment!! (Kinda like Timex).
Thread reminder: Pilot of the Airwaves / Charlie Dore '80
 
"the captain said 'boys you want some sex. You can squeeze the sails you can lick the decks.' " those were the lyrics to the forgotten song Shakedown Cruise by Jay Ferguson
 
Then there is Linda Ronstadt's "Just One Look".

Back in the day if you requested Linda Ronstadt on the radio you got Doris Troy, along with Little Peggy March singing, "I Will Follow Him" - also from 1963.
