I’ve found some of these, that were played on LA rock station KLSX-FM, 97.1, when I was listening to, and recording from, the Dr. Demento Show. I picked up quite a bit of non-Dr. D stuff: 1. _There she goes with her nose in the air…_ 2. _He’s oh, so good And he’s oh, so fine And he’s oh so healthy In his body and his mind He’s a well-respected man-about-town…_ 3. _Lazin’ on a sunny afternoon…_ I had some which were apparently Beatles songs, but a Beatle lyric website doesn’t include them. Any help, please? 🙂 ---

It’s the Kinks, I think - Dedicated Follower of Fashion? ---

1. & 3. are both by the Kinks. “A Well-Respected Man” and I don’t know the other title, maybe just “Lazin’ on a Sunny Afternoon”. Where are the other 57? ---

#1: Funny How Love Can Be. There are at least two versions that I know of, the slower one is sung by Ivy League. ---

Oh, and I know just about every Beatle song ever written/sung. Give me the lyrics and I could probably tell you. ---

I really like the Kinks. I went through that pretentious pseudo-Mod-revival at university (I used to change my musical tastes every year) and still really like most of the Kinks, Small Faces and Yardbirds songs I listened to. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fairblue \* > \*\*Okay then, **benson** , what are the lyrics to “Christmas time is here again”? > 😃 \*\* In this day and age how can anyone not be able to find it? Now that would be an annoying song to have stuck in the tape deck. When I was 16 my sister was 14 and I was forced to hear MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice over and over again. Maybe that’s why I went to a HS 90 minutes away. The peace and quiet of the bus ride home was so relaxing. ---

Here’s a question for you, Benson- did Syd Barrett have anything to do with The Beatles _It’s a Shame, Mary Jane_? ---

**Mojo** , I’m assuming you mean What’s The New, Mary Jane. Easiest answer: Nope. **Fairblue** , I won’t even dignify that with an answer. 😉 ---

I heard a song on pop radio in summer 1968 I never identified. All I remember is part of the refrain: La la, la la, la la, la [short unintelligible phrase here; about six syllables. And in “La la” the second “la” is higher-pitched and stressed] La la, la la, [unintelligible part; six syllables] (Don’t you know that) Ev-rybody’s got to love somebody sometime… (Note: This is _not_ a Dean Martin song!) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Mojo \* > \*\* did Syd Barrett have anything to do with The Beatles _It’s a Shame, Mary Jane_? \*\* No, but Brian Jones plays the sax on “You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)”. Could you have possibly confused the titles and legends? ---
