THE DAVE CLARK FIVE |
Told us about the Glad All Over (YouTube Video) experience back in 1964:
Oh well, it's nice that 50 years later, scientists have finally gotten around to proving their hypothesis...
From NPR
Mapping Emotions On The Body: Love Makes Us Warm All Over
From the scans of the human body, it is clear that the "Doctors Clark" got the "blue" part right too.
And...
...even in a deft act of omission, it should be noted that they avoided making any musical commentary about the "green with envy" fallacy that has been perpetrated throughout the ages.
CAT Tracks Editor's Note:
On an educational note...
In the present, we have the CC, the CCSS, to bring us down.
Back in the day, we had CCR Down on the Corner (YouTube Video) to bring us up!
It was a happier time...
Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
[Chorus:]
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin'
Bring a nickel; tap your feet
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
