Freaky Friday - I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes
Throughout October Funky Friday will be seasonally adjusted to Freaky Friday. The tracks and tunes will feature all the usual foot-stomping and leg-shaking shenanigans, but with an added splash of fright-night flavouring until the beckoning bony finger of Halloween finally touches upon us.
Think of today's theme as a prelude for the fourth Piley and Mondo podcast(with you next week)..
I've no fear of the snake, but spiders - yikes alive! Will literally, have me both legs in air the 'Lords-a-leaping' style. And apparently the last two summers (one wet/one dry) have provided the perfect breeding conditions for the little scuttlers *gulps*
Tony Joe White - Stud-Spider
A saucy, plodding slice of Southern Soul meets Gumbo-Funk from the writer of Rainy Night In Georgia and Polk Salad Annie
Al Wilson - The Snake
A classic Northen Soul nugget first heard by me on this Ronco comp (although it actually had this tracklisting)
And a trick amongst the treats..
Ray Stevens - Spiders and Snakes

Reptillo-mullet! Love it..Dug the Tony Joe..Al was pretty slimy as well. Lookin through my stuff I saw quite a few spider tunes..That was a bit surprising.
Freddie McCoy-Spider Man
Genius - that's not the theme tune though is it(which The Ramones covered). I almost went for Lalo Schifrin Black Widow..
