That inspired me to listen to an old Simon & Garfunkel CD. I was looking forward to hearing this song...

...since I recently trained to be a volunteer at our local zoo.

Well, the upstairs toilets have been acting up, and sure enough one clogged and flooded :frown:. I was holding the float up with one hand, plunging with the other, when this song came on...

I've found that it's better to just dive to the floor and turn off the water valve to the toilet. You'll get a bit of overflow, but it's worth it in the end.

Finally, someone posted a copy of Smoke Stack Lightnin' by the Yardbirds.

the yardbirds - smokestack lightning (live)



From the same era, but a different sound

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (studio)


Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter Unreleased Extended Mix (studio)


The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Live)



Yet another different sound from the late 60's / early 70's.

Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (Live)




Traffic - Dear Mr. Fantasy



Unfortunately, it seems that some early videos of these tunes were removed due to violations of copyright.

In the 70's a group out of NY - their first album.

Blue Öyster Cult
Transmaniacon MC


I'm on the Lamb, But I Ain't No Sheep


Then Came the Last Days of May


Before the Kiss, a Redcap


Screams


She's as Beautiful as a Foot


Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll


Workshop of Telescopes


Redeemed

Marlene Dietrich singing one of the all time great folk songs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPrktPTr9Mo


A Ukrainian folk song providing the inspiration for an American folk song, sung by a German actress in French. Almost as circular as the song, itself.
