1969 DS-themed 45 rpm "The Curse Goes On"
« on: May 29, 2012, 05:05:58 AM »
I ran across this while perusing eBay.  It turns out that someone has actually posted it on YouTube!

It's called 'The Curse goes On, and someone by the name of Christopher Love recorded it in 1969 on London Records.  Enjoy!

Actually that's a lot better than half of what I hear on the radio today.   [ghost_cheesy]

The curse goes on...  The curse goes on...

If it had a different singer, it could be really good...  Okay, maybe not.  But it could be even catchier.

I like to think of the novelty/reggae/bad instrumental rehashes that followed in the wake of the OS as "cheese-tastic."   [ghost_cool]

OMG, how could that have not been included on the 30th Anniversary Edition CD? For sure it's right "up" there with "Barnabas" by Vampire State Building!   [ghost_cheesy]

Haha! Fun!  It kinda struck me as the DS answer to "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"   [ghost_wink]

That was... interesting :)  For some reason, I was disappointed when the tune didn't turn out to be Sonny & Cher's The Beat Goes On- does that make me a bad person?   [ghost_wink]

I guess we're in the same boat because that's exactly what I was thinking. It reminds me of some of the lamer performances in the costume contest.

Christopher Love is no Courtney Love.

Utterly groovy!  Christopher gets bonus-points for namechecking Cassandra.

I thought the same thing about the Sonny and Cher song. And thanks (I think) to Aristia for reminding me about the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins!
