I won’t say that I play harmonica. . .it’s much closer to the truth to say I have a harmonica and collect harmonica learning materials, links, and songs . . .but I do listen to quite a lot of it. Most harp players have a deep and abiding love for Magic Dick’s harp work, and I’m no different. . . Whammer Jammer, By Magic Dick (originally by the J. Geils band) (live) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/a0q2Vy3fx2I/hqdefault.jpg "BEST "Whammer Jammer" Magic Dick on Harmonica") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0q2Vy3fx2I) . . .but I think the song I linked to, “Lost Fox Train” has taken the #1 spot in my heart. Just great sound and technique, along with a tremendous appreciation for the history of the instrument. I also love Meat Loaf! Pity there’s such a small sample of him performing live on Youtube, but here’s a trailer for Roadie, Meat’s 1980 movie. It’s awesome if you have an appreciation for movies that don’t take themselves seriously. I have this DVD and love it. It’s like the last gasp of the 70’s. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/0xBxcUEOzuo/hqdefault.jpg "Roadie Trailer") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xBxcUEOzuo) I got to meet the Loaf and got his autograph during his Bat Out of Hell 2 tour. About 30 folks gathered around his bus (many of them I recognized from the local RHPS performing cast) and he stood on the steps and signed autographs. He was worried about being caught in a crowd of people, but once he took his spot on the steps, he was really nice and appreciative of the people who came out to see him. He seemed to be relishing his return to popularity and the charts. I know he worked hard for it. A bunch of my co-workers had seen him a couple years earlier at a small college concert, and he was performing a lot of the Bat 2 songs. I got stuck at work holding down the fort that night ☹ Did we mention the Sanford-Townsend Band yet? ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/HgwXASjTuZg/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/HgwXASjTuZg?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque And a great performance of “Crazy on You”.

Some of the lyrics are the same as “Wednesday Morning 3:00 AM.” [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p9-HK5GybFw/hqdefault.jpg "Engrish #17 Somewhere They Can't Find Me") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9-HK5GybFw) IIRC, Magic Dick took his name from a porn star or movie or something along those lines. He could make that sucka sing, couldn’t he? My favorite J. Geils song wasn’t a hit, I think: “River Blindness.” BTW I have two harmonicas on the shelf and a holder (for around the neck so I can pretend to be Neil Young) while playing guitar. Operative word here being “pretend.” Why can I sing and play guitar but not play harmonica and guitar? Oh, right. I can’t play harmonica :smack: If it’s Meat Loaf yer wantin’ (today is Talk Like A Pirate Day, bear with me), then you’ll be wantin’ the title track—Bat out of Hell. The musicianship, the recording, vocals, lyrics, everything…just stunning. If we were making a list of songs to blow your eardrums to, that would be in the top 5 for sure. I played that vinyl till the grooves…well, you know. OK, must have more toonz… Yes/Roundabout [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Xql99I1VSdI/hqdefault.jpg "Roundabout") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xql99I1VSdI) Mmkay, let’s check in with the other three ex-Beatles: Ringo Starr/Photograph ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/o60QWYUBL6c/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/o60QWYUBL6c?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque George Harrison/Crackerbox Palace ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/iq7Zg-A5_Rw/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/iq7Zg-A5_Rw?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Imagine/John Lennon ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/jEOkxRLzBf0/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/jEOkxRLzBf0?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Moving on, a little albino power: Edgar Winter/Frankenstein [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x1mV_5-bRPo/hqdefault.jpg "Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1mV_5-bRPo) And while I’m putting the “mental” in “instrumental,” Focus/Hocus Pocus ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/bpV5InLw52U/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/bpV5InLw52U?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Moving along, The Who/Baba O’Riley. ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/mcLA596zUwc/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/mcLA596zUwc?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque And Al Green/Let’s Stay Together.

True, the song is from 1980 but this is obviously redone. Rather than post the original, I thought I’d go with this, which appeared in the “Grosse Point Blank” soundtrack. I like both equally. ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/aQNWyGdSzD4/maxresdefault.jpg)https://www.youtube.com/embed/aQNWyGdSzD4?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ---

Since some people have noted “Jolene”…this is WAY cheating, because it was released in the mid-80s, but I have a mission to post this wherever “Jolene” is mentioned and YouTube links are offered because it’s just so…80s surreal… [Strawberry Switchblade sings “Jolene” on Japanese TV](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D460HMTTYiE) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-70s-are-gone-but-were-bringing-them-back-and-you-cant-stop-us/463383.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-70s-are-gone-but-were-bringing-them-back-and-you-cant-stop-us/463383.md?page=3)
