Not easy a tall. The KOS didn't have much to do with sponsoring Revolutionary troop-training Prussian nobilities...or much else to do with American colonial history.

This is the version that's on the "American Graffiti" soundtrack. The Coasters' version didn't chart until 1971 (No. 76 peak). The Searchers' version first charted in November of 1964, and peaked at No. 3. >>I was in the process of transcribing the set list of a recent Fruvous tape I made which included a Love Potion Number Nine medley. I decided to search the net for a reference to the original recording of that song. I came across an unexpected issue. Depending on where I look, it says either the Coasters or the Searchers were the original artists, either in 1960 or 1965. Does anyone have any definitive information on this?<< - --tc tcain1@webmart.net "The only reason I know the name of that band is so that I don't accidentally buy any of their records." -- Elvis Costello, on Styx ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Oct 1998 01:34:21 -0500 From: "Bell-occhio" Subject: Re: What did you do instead of NoHo?

And I know who *that* Puck is so I'm not a complete pop-culture boob :) (although he is.) She then demonstrated utter unboobness with an inspired bequest of good wishes to all on this trying and lonesome Night of the Dead: >Your eve'ning plans doth sound gay and wrought with visual delights! >Wallow not in freakish misery, for thou art a NoHo-less soul with many a >companion (5 or so).

Such admirable sentiments, so aptly phrased in Hawthornian prose sprinkled with Shakespearian wit, lead me to reflect that we here at ammf are blessed with a roster of talented lettrists whose skills span the permutations of English usage through the centuries. What could this mean? Can Heather retool the Gospel in Puritan? Should Ladywench write a cookbook in King James? I don't know. Maybe we've all just read too many Quills. But we are a wondrous and wacky group indeed. - -- Lori (much given to pointless rumination in the wee small hours) Good night! Bonne Nuit!
