And The Stiffs Just Keep On Comin'

I don't know... That sounds more like a "flop" than a "stiff".
My Gawd! I go away for MONTHS and this thread is STILL GOING!
It's pronounced "doo-BLAY" BTW, Monsieur Savage. A solid secondary in WMMO research. Making it almost not a stiff.
Anybody come up with "Love And Happiness" by Earnest Jackson (a re-make of the Al Green song)? We played that baby on WSNY in Schenectady during Summer of 1973. A Doc Perryman pick-to-click..."Rippin' our tip and lettin' the good times flip y'all!" was Doc's signature phrase on WSNY.

This one came to mind as I sat in the drive thru lane at Mighty Taco and made me belch out loud before I got my order: Larry Groce, "Junk Food Junkie." Bon appétit!
I would think his residuals are WAY down on that one!!!! ;DLarry Groce, "Junk Food Junkie."
qman said:This one is so bad it stiffed twice. 1984 & 1989: Send Me An Angel by Real Life.
Oh, qman, you are soooo wrong there. BAD??? No freakin' way! One of the best songs of the era. STIFF? Nope again...at least not in Toronto where "Send Me An Angel" was a major hit on cfny, CHUM FM and Much Music, not to mention on the dance floor where the song became a staple for years.
PS-Welcome back, Cary.
Do I dare suggest that may we enter a sub-thread to this thread -
Main Thread - Stiffs Just Keep on Comin'
- Sub Thread - I'm Not Sure if This Has Been Mentioned
Already - (roll the song by Orpheus Can't Find The Time To Sift through 85+ pages)
But how 'bout - Motels - Suddenly Last Summer.

Eighty five pages and I'll be dipped in squid if I'm gonna go back and check, but this song ran through my head the other day while watching two tatted-up knuckleheads take a few swings at each other at the corner ginmill until Mickey the one-armed bartender pulled a #32 Louisville Slugger out and gently tapped one of the lugs on the shoulder. They apparently were fencing over some woman who looked like she'd been rode hard and put away wet. The song: Neanderthal Man by Hotlegs. Swore this was a Beatles send up when I first heard it.
*bump*
While searching for a copy of Orpheus "Can't Find The Time" to down load (I still can't find one, although there ARE versions to listen to at least) I found their follow up song, which we played (Providence?) when it was out, but surely counts as a stifferoo: "Brown Arms In Houston."

Almost perverse that this came to mind this evening, nothing intentional, I assure you. Not an attempt to be glib, even as the song appears in a thread about Stiffs. Jim Carroll Band, People Who Died.
Another sick puppy. Nothing intentional? OK ???

LOL (I freely admit that I am not so maudlin that I consider it so dire and dark a day - at least not for me)
Wait - did we go through a Saturday night without a Radknowski entry?
Could it be that this thread is nearing the end?
Or, was our resident painter so broken up by Michael Jackson's passing that he was crying into his Pabst draught instead of hanging out on the Internet...

More the former, rather than the latter, Rox. I'm content to refrain when I have nothing to add (which, even when I contribute, some readers probably regard it as nothin'.) Speaking of Pabst, I'm kinda tapped out. I mean, how do ya top a stiff like "Whirly Girl" which appeared, what, about five pages ago? Yeah. Maybe it's time.SirRoxalot said:Wait - did we go through a Saturday night without a Radknowski entry? Could it be that this thread is nearing the end?
