And Some More Oct. 6, 1976 Songs, And Two from 1976

When Bob Stroud comes back from commercial break, he starts off with a snippet from another song popular that date.  These were his intro-snips.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAINT ME A PICTURE--  Gary Lewis & the Playboys  (Sure wish he had played the whole song.  This was a good one.)
DANDY--  Kinks--  (Until recently, I did not know they had done this song first.  Stroud used it to intro the Hermits' version.)

IF I WERE A CARPENTER--  Bobby Darrin--  Going through quite a big transformation as so many artists did coming into this era.  Now, instead of a Big Band, Swinging crooner, he's sort of a folkie with this Tim Hardin classic.  The Four Tops would cover this the next year.

LITTLE MAN--  Sonny and Cher--  (Was Cher singing about Sonny on this one?  Always neat to see the two standing side-by-side.)
WIPE OUT--  Originally released in 1963, but rereleased in 1966 and in Top Ten on this date.

AND NOW, FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...1976

SUMMER--  War
DISCO DUCK--  The Good, the Bad and Truly Ugly.  (Come on, Bob, I liked this one.)

Answers to yesterday's WHICH CAME FIRST?

Flexible Rubber Ice Tray (1932)  How come we had to keep using those miserable metal ones until the 60s?,
Grocery Cart (1937)  Still a really fun thing to "ride" down a slope until you hit that car.)
Tupperware (1945)  Nothing like one of these "parties" for a really good time.
Self-Wringing Mop (1961)
