It's a Pop Quiz - 'lift up your skirt and fly' is the last line of single, banned by the BBC for this saucy sounding statement (although in reality, it was actually reference to witches). But who were the band that recorded it, and the soon-to-be glammer wot wrote it?
We've had Wolfmen doing dark duets, tales of terror, spiders, snakes (and a Halloween podcast Podroscreamia is on it's way), but today as move nearer to All Hallows' Eve, and those final witching hours it's time to bubble and boil a couple of numbers in the cauldron for today's Freak Friday..
The master blaster himself Tom Jones lung-busting, head-shrinking and doing the voodoo and gumbo a-go-go with...

Sharon Tandy goes Snow White's Wicked Queen meets Hammer Glamour - backed by last week's Tick Tockers Les Fleur De Lys on..

Guitar geek alert - watch out for the axe at 1:18 Tele body/Strat neck?

Gonna have to pass on the quiz PM, I’ve got no idea?
Just love everything Tom Jones sings
(G say’s his Mums got this one, she was a big fan back in the day)
Really like Redbone’s version too, what a gem…
It's a tricky one Lil - but I'm sure it's out there on Google somewhere - Redbone - did the original, and tom covered it. He's got a good ear for a tune, have you heard him teaming up with EMF, Unbelievable
I have no clues myself. Great post. You always post the coolest tunes no matter what time of year. Hope you have a killer weekend. Cheers!
my brain's mush these days - i'd have trouble telling you where i lived some days really i would - so i'm bloody clueless. that's another new sharon tandy to me too so ta ever so - she's got a thing going on that girl oh yes she does

Ok I had to search - but I was already thinking on the right lines.... Mr Bolan?
re guitar geek - not only a Strat neck (which looked like an old 50s neck btw so if it'd been still attached to it's original body worth a bit!) but notice the tele has two humbuckers fitted... a la Jeff Beck's one famously modded by Semour Duncan.
lastly - the guy with the drum stick on the standard tele - weird or what?
Thanks Keith - love the new look logo.
I think that's the third post from her now - grab the Sharon Tandy album Ally you'll love it!
Top Marks F-Ron it is Bolan in his John's Children period - Desdamona is the tune. You'll hear him on the chorus.
I had noticed the HB p'ups very strange (and it's the outsize head that dates the Strat isn't it)*takes anorak off* - re:the drumstick have you seen matey from The Creation's bowing technique, it's where Pagey lifted it from..
Frighteningly cool songs dear Mondo!! I LOVED 'Daughter Of The Sun'! Such great music... your ability to find these gems is amazing.
Wishing you a great weekend!Daughter Of The Sun
Bless you Gabbi, it's zlightly Zep isn't it? A found a lovely bundle of funky nuggets yesterday that I must post at some point. Hope your cold clears off soon.
nifty toons... just right to get us in the mood for next weekend eh?
I guess the only thing that could better it is a spooky themed podcast??? ;-)
Oh yes P defo, spooky doing indeed!
Love the cover Lift up your skirt. :) How hilarious that some people get offended so easily just by a title.
