The clock stopped & everything they hear & play is filtered through the sensibilities of bobby sox & blue jeans, sock hops & soda pops.Subject: Funny (or sad)--54 years ago Comments made in the year 1955! That's only 53 years ago!'I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossib...

(You must play this track if you haven't heard this Big Daddy version before...)Dr Pepper to deliver on its free-soda promiseDr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is a reality. The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. "Chinese Democracy," infam...

Starting this post on a (peripherally) musical note:Dance Dance Revolution is all well and good, i suppose - but it's a bit tiring, and really not something you can do at the office.So here's a solution to both of those problems - the DanceMat USB device!It plugs into your computer, which provides music and sound effects ... and notice that it even includes a Desiree Cousteau look-alike cardboa...

It's amazing what can be done to a song herewith three versions (two actually using a version of the song as recorded by Men Without Hats [and one of those the official video], and well, plus a track rendered as only Big Daddy could do it) of The Safety Dance. Be sure to check out all three...There were several different mixes released at the time; i'm not 100% sure that this one was released...

I thought you might like to hear how Big Daddy took what i consider to be one of the lamest songs ever pepetrated by the Beatles and made it not only listenable but fun to listen to.George Harrison was many things, but subtle wasn't necessarly one of them. Sometimes his approach to lecturing us could work (While Eric Clapton's My Guitar gently Weeps, for instance) and sometimes it just goes th...

Here are two Big Daddy versions of Springsteen songs, from their second album, Meanwhile, Back in the States and their third, Cutting Their Own Groove.If you're not familiar with Big Daddy, well... Let's say they had an interesting way of looking at popular music.

Big Daddy - i find that they apparently started out as a covers band under the name Big Daddy Lube and the Dipsticks.I don't know if that's true or if someone's messing with Wikipedia's mind.Their career with Rhino was/is also as a covers band - but with a twist; for instance, check out this hilarious version of I Write the Songs:I just looked, and Amazon lists one used copy of Rhino's The Best...
