WACKY WEDNESDAY: Loony Lunar Tunes

It was 50 years ago this month that Neil Armstrong made that one small step for man.

In honor of the brave men aboard Apollo 11, here are some wacky songs about the moon  and beyond.

I do believe Lucia Pamela walked on the moon before Neil Armstrong



Here's Don Lewis, the self-proclaimed first country singer on the moon.



Devo tried to warn us about all the space junk out there



This one actually is a parody of another novelty song from the early '60s by Charlie Drake called "My Boomerang Won't Come Back"



Here's an old sound by Nu Sounds, a Sun Ra project.



Finally here's The Legendary Stardust Cowboy (even though I'm pretty sure he didn't write this song.)

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Wild Things

1960s Rock Idols

The song "Wild Thing" is an authentic garage-rock classic. Written by Chip Taylor and originally recorded in 1965 by a New York Band band called The Wild Ones, it didn't become a hit until the next year when a primitive British group called The Troggs beat it back into the Stone Age.

I guess that made it ripe for parody. 

In 1967 comedian Bill Minkin channeled the voices of two U.S. senators -- Robert F. Kennedy and Senate Republican Leader Everette McKinley Dirksen (who, in real life had a pretty gallant Top 40 hit of his own in 1966) and recorded a double shot of "Wild Thing" for  Parkway Records -- one side credited to "Senator Bobby," the other to "Senator Everett McKinley."

First the version by "Senator Everett"



The flip side by "Senator Bobby."



The two political giants teamed up in the spirit of "quite rightly" bi-partisan cooperation on this Donovan hit of the day.



And on the flip side of "Mellow Yellow" was another Bobby, someone called "Bobby the Poet." This is a send up not only of Bob Dylan, Bing Crosby and Irving Berlin, but also of Simon & Garfunkel's  "7 o'Clock News/Silent Night." I think they were all smoking bananas.
