Otis Redding-Sitting on the dock of the bay - YouTube

Though it makes me sad - he died shortly thereafter, didn't he? RIP Otis.

Yeah, that was mine too. So I'll offer this.

This is far & above my fave smokey tune:
The Tears Of A Clown - YouTube

Am I having an acid flashback or does this song speed up during some segments???

But yes, this is a super super Smokey song - the best part about it is that he managed to insert Pagliacci in the middle of a Motown song...now that's genius!

Seriously, The Mertz Man and I played this just two days ago. Sometimes you just want to grunt, you know?

Which naturally, led us to this:

I did not notice that... Sounds normal to me.

I totally completely agree that inserting obscure knowledge into songs is awesome...

Like I wouldn't know what "Scylla and Charybdis" means if it wasn't for Sting.

This has got to be one of THE weirdest songs ever.

OK, it's a serious embarrassment, but I am none the wiser

I love me some Otis...he died before he became famous ...

I grew up in London in the 60's , and remember this well. Remember Whiter Shade of Pale? I think that might have included a little 'trip'!

Let's see...

Copy the following:

and paste it directly into your post.

Let's see what happens.

ETA. Sorry I messed up. Please try again

This is a song where you had to be sitting in a room with black lights and..............nevermind.

Well, yes, extreme pallor was associated with the use of psychedlics, including LSD and psilocybin (magic mushrooms). I don't know how I know that

 

[Sleuth5]

Oh, and I really liked "Spill the Wine". The flute is great.

Yes it is but I love the funky, hypnotic music and Eric Burden's total Eric Burden-ness.
