Sounds great! Happy Birthday, Dawn! But we do have to note that Lou Carter, the singing NY cabbie, preceded Brute with some great ones, such as: I got a rose between my toes from walking barefoot through the hothouse to you, pretty baby//I got a thorn right near my corn from walking barefoot through the hothouse to you//...(My favorite line is) And when I fell into the tomatoes, my heart really skipped a beet//...

Happy Berfday, Dawn! I wish I could join you. I don't know anything about Brute Force but I like the sound of "Otto's Shrunken Head"!!

I'm not sure if I should say this with pride or embarassment, but I had to click the Titus link in the hope that it would explain the 'King of Fuh' joke you wouldn't tell, and was of course even more confused until finally I was 'enlightened' at the 365 days link!

Guess I'm the King of 'Duh!' (He said, crouching quickly.)

LOL, Mark! Thanks for the good wishes, Janjan and OAW. Tk, glad you liked the tune.

I am, of course, a fan of the Fuh King.

But I'd like to emphasize that "Nobody Knows What's Going On In My Mind But Me" is the Chiffons' best post-"One Fine Day" record. ("Everybody says that I'm wrong/But what do they know?") It deserved better than a lowly #49 in Billboard. Maybe Brute was just too far ahead of his time: I mean, psychedelia in 1965?

I've long been an admirer of Brute's stuff (what little of it I've heard). Cool that you get to see him live, Dawn! :o)

Oh! And happy birthday. If you don't get everything you want, then may you get every good thing you deserve! ;o)

Hi Dawn and happy upcoming b-day! Just got word of your write up of BF from BF. One of these days I'll make it to see him play live in NYC, unless he gets over to San Francisco and rocks the bay! Cheers! _o

Happy birthday, Dawn! I thought the King of Fuh was perhaps a new Vietnamese restaurant in Manhattan, as my favorite Vietnamese soup, spelled Pho, is pronounced "Fuh". Guess not...
