WDRV Playing 'Lodi' Right Now (the Old Delta Sig 'Buffalo Song')
I am listening to Chicago's WDRV, 97.1 FM, The Drive, right now and Bob Stroud is playing Creedence Clearwater's "Lodi." This was my fraternity's "song" back in 1970-1973 at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Only we called it "The Buffalo Song."
It was on one of the four albums we would play at all our parties. We'd play one side of each album (stacked to four) then flip them over and play the other side.
Our four "party" albums:
"Green River" by Creedence which had "Lodi" on it.
Temptations Greatest Hits
Four Tops Greatest Hits
Sly & the Family Stone Greatest Hits
So, as you can see, we really liked out soul music, much like the guys on the movie "Animal House."
Only, we had other words to "Lodi" which I won't recount here. Czych and Beazey put the new words to the song. When it came on, we'd all get in a circle, arms on each others' shoulders and sing at the top of our voices as we swayed back and forth. When we got to a break in the singing, that was time to take a swig of a beverage.
Sure brought back some fun memories. Thank You, Bob.
By the way, all day today, the Drive is doing Two-For-Tuesday. Two songs in a row by an artist. Coming up at 10 am, Bob will be doing "Just" songs, songs with the word "Just" in the title. It streams and will have a repeat at 10 pm.
