'BATTLE OF THE BANDS' ('BOTB')
.
A Happy New Year to Y'All, and welcome to my Milestone!
.
This is my...
.
..100th BOTB installment!
.
I wanted to do something .F.-.U.-.N. for this Battle and I decided on a 3-Way Burlesque theme.
.
Alright, let's get on it. Let's get ON this thing!...

| EUGENE MARTONE VS. JACK BUTLER |
Here's what Wackypedia sez about our first competitor:
.
"The Stripper" is an instrumental composed by David Rose, recorded in 1958 and released four years later. It evokes the feel of music used to accompany striptease artists. ... The song reached number one on Billboard's Top 100 chart in July, 1962. ... it also became famous as the background music for a contemporary Noxzema Shaving Cream commercial, featuring a Swedish model.
.
My parents owned a copy of that album, as did several other "old" people I knew. Methinks David's 'THE STRIPPER' may have been my parents' generation's version of the soundtrack to the Broadway musical 'HAIR'.

| GOODNIKS VS. NO-GOODNIKS |
Our next competitor is Henry Mancini who composed the musical soundtrack for the movie 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'. In that movie, there's a scene where Paul Varjak (George Peppard) and Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) enter a bar that has a striptease act for entertainment.

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass included an instrumental cover of the song 'Love Potion #9' and they gave it a decidedly burlesque treatment...

My parents also had the David Rose album--they liked "strip music" due to the show businessy nature of it. After all they would sometimes appear on shows that included strippers and burlesque acts. When I was a very young child they did a brief tour with the "girlie" burlesque show on the Gooding's carnival circuit.
ReplyDeleteAs you might recall I had copies of most of Alpert's early albums and I remember this cut you chose. Great stuff.
I've probably heard the Mancini cut over the years but don't really remember it. As always Mancini puts forth a great effort.
Nice options making for a tough contest here. For old time's sake and having captured the raunchiest sound, I'm casting my vote for David Rose and his orchestra. They really know how to bump and grind.

DeleteI had a vague memory of you having said some time ago that your parents had the David Rose album. That was a biggie in our parents' day. (I also vaguely remember that Noxzema commercial that used 'The Stripper'.)
I'm glad you enjoyed the selections. I'd been looking forward to posting this Battle. There's something fun about this type of music, even if one isn't really a strip club kinda person.

Don't know if you've ever seen it, but there is a funny episode of The Jack Benny Show where a young Carol Burnett breaks into a bump and grind dance routine every time the word "strip" is mentioned. Of course the music behind her is the David Rose classic which would have been all the rage at that time.
DeleteLee

Ha! No, never saw that, but I'll definitely look for it at YouTube. It sounds funny -- and, plus, I always liked Carol Burnett, anyway. Seems like a Win!-Win!

Congratulations on your 100th installment of Battle of the Bands. I keep thinking I will post something on my blog and then..
ReplyDeleteI liked David Rose best (he and his orchestra get my vote). Herb and the brass take second for me. Mancini is third. However, they are all very good. I suspect that this will be an interesting race as the votes come in!
GIRL WONDER ~
DeleteYour blogging days may be through, but I'm pleased as spiked punch that you still came by with your $0.02 worth!
So far, after 5 votes cast, Herb and his boys from Tijuana are still looking for their first vote. That surprises me, because I had a hunch they might win this thing. Of course they still might, but they got some catchin' up to do right out o' the chute.

ReplyDeleteFirst off let me say CONGRATULATIONS on your achievement of 100 battles! An amazing accomplishment.
"The Stripper" brings a smile to my face along with fond memories. I learned to play that song in Junior High School band. We played it often at our ball games. Which seems a bit odd, being that our school was 98% Mormon.
I had heard "Hubcaps and Taillights" before, but never knew the name of it.
"Love Potion #9" - I thought I was going to be voting for this one because I've always enjoyed the lyrics.
Three really great stripper songs! I'm going to cast my vote for Mancini. I found myself enjoying the tune just a little too much. No tequila needed for this one!
Looking forward to your return to twice a month battles. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next...
~Mary
MMQE ~
DeleteThanks for the kind words! (The check is in the mail.)
With your personal history intertwined with 'The Stripper', I'm surprised it didn't get your vote. That was a FUN FACT about your Mormon school band playing it. That's pretty dern funny!
What was that old joke I heard a hunert years ago?... "Mormons discourage premarital sex for fear it will lead to dancing." ...Wait! Was that a Mormon joke or an Amish joke? I can't remember now.
Thanks for busting up this shutout with a Mancini vote. Now I can rest easy for the duration of the Battle.
I got what I think is some good BOTB stuffs comin'. Sixgunboy McItchyfinger's L.A.-theme suggestion has re-inspired me.
>>... "No tequila needed for this one!"
But don't let that stop ya! WANTING Tequila is just as valid an excuse for pouring it as NEEDING it is. (BTW, every time I got in trouble, Jose Cuervo was to blame. Jose is a bad, bad man, and he always dragged me down to his level!)

Happy New Year, Stephen and CONGRATULATIONS on your 100th BOTB!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all three burlesque numbers. David Rose would be the obvious choice, since it's the most familiar. Herb Alpert's Love Potion was fun, but Henry Mancini was more interesting. Loved the intro! ☺ Please give my vote to Hub Caps and Tail Lights.
DEBBIE D'DOGLADY ~
DeleteThanks! My BOTB doesn't look too bad for its advanced age. ;^)
With your vote, that's two in a row for Mancini. This Battle could be a close one. Now if only Herb can get on the board so he doesn't feel like the odd man out in this strip club...

So, how would you BET I'd vote? I'd bet that YOU'D bet right.
ReplyDeleteHA&TTB gets the vote. I like "The Stripper" and remember those Noxzema commercials quite well! It gets going and going and the melody itself leaves you wanting more... just like a big feather or bubble or something right the way of the view.
I don't particularly like the Mancini number. It seems to start and stop and never really get going. Meh.
The Herb, as usual, nails it and turns Love Potion No. 9 into something way different than the original. I like it.
Congratulations on 100 battles! I don't think I've missed any. If I have, shame on me. Here's to 100 more!
BROTHER SIXGUN ~
DeleteWhen I read that you'd bet that I'd bet right, I thought to myself: I'd bet that he'd bet right when he'd bet that I'd bet right.
But guess what! You bet wrong.
Actually, I thought perhaps you'd dig the quirky drum interludes in Mancini's HC&TL. In other words, I bet as wrong as I could bet. Figures. (I think the Magic 8-Ball is rubbing off on me!)
But I like that Herb is now in the game. No one gets shut out and anyone could win.
You, McBrother, have been a very loyal reader and commenter, and I sincerely thank you. I doubt you've missed a single BOTB. I certainly can't think of any that you were absent from.
I like HA&TTB's version of LOVE POTION #9 better'n the original hit, which I have on my 'American Graffiti' soundtrack album, which I think it is un-American not to have. ...How you like-um that English?

I have on my Outlook calendar "Stephen - song" (I'm a nerd). You're a legend. I gotta give it up for Mr. Herb. "Give it up" is hipster talk for vote for. The cover is nice with whipped cream. Even if the cover was a picture of Chris Farley in a polyester jacket and a short tie that only makes it part way down his belly... I would still vote for Mr. Herb... and also root for him.
ReplyDeleteYou know that scene where John Travolta is walking down the street carrying a can of paint... to the whole new genre.
Mr. Herb's song is what Warren Beatty Wishes he could walk down the street to. That's how good it is. You're a legend, S-Man.
A-DogG (working undercover as G Dogg) ~
DeleteHey, man, thanks so much for coming by to cast a vote! I really appreciate it! (Great undercover outfit, by the way. Even [link> THIS BUM couldn't disguise himself better!)
Yeah, that Herb & The TJ Brass album cover has launched a godzillion male fantasies. What [Link> "CONFIDENT HETEROSEXUAL" man hasn't at least one time dreamed of working his way through all that whipped cream to find the hidden prizes?
You have given me a homework project: Go to YouTube and find the John Travolta / Paint Can scene. I'll do 'er!

NOTE TO OTHERS:
If any of y'all has ever once enjoyed a blog bit I've posted on any of my blogs, G Dogg here (really A-DogG incognito) is the person you can thank for it. It's a long, twisted story, but the bottom line is that G Dogg is solely responsible for me starting to blog here in May of 2008.
And in fact, it's ironic that A-DogG / G Dogg is here for my 100th Battle Of The Bands contest because in my [Link> very first BOTB installment on 8/1/2013, I used recordings that A-DogG / G Dogg had actually made me aware of by giving them to me on a compact disc in '08.
Thanks again for the vote, G Dogg, and feel free to get comfortable here. The booze flows abundantly here, the music is always top-notch and so are these people. Consider yourself having now been properly introduced, Brother DogG.

Stephen,
ReplyDeleteWhoo-hoo, congrats on 100 BoTB showdowns! What a fun post. Honestly, every time I think of strip mewsic the song that comes to mind is "Hey Big Spender". The reason is during the 80s when I worked, fellow co-workers would often hire gals to dance for someone's birthday. Usually, a boss and the service always did this song. They were no actual stripping but it the gals always put on a good show that left me blushing. lol I can only imagine how embarrassed the guys must have felt but I know they loved it.
Now getting to the song choices at hand in this battle. David Rose, "The Stripper"is truly a classic and when you think of a striptease this is the one song that's sure to pop in your mind first. Henry Mancini "Hub Caps & Tail Lights" is new-to-me believe it or not. I loved the arrangement and see this as an excellent candidate for strip mewsic. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass "Love Potion #9" is fabulous, it doesn't say strip dance to me, though.
So who do I give my vote to? Obviously, HATT is out of the running so this leaves contenders one and two. Mez think...the number by Henry Mancini Hub Caps & Tail Lights called me to center stage ready for action. No, not me stripping but to catch the show! :D
Great battle!
CATHY, My Friend ~
DeleteI thank ya greatly, and am hap-hap-happy that you dig the Battle! I even had fun putting it together.
I know I know the song HEY, BIG SPENDER, but can only vaguely hear it in my amnesia-infested brain. I shall endeavor to pursue it at YouTube and listen with my imagination tuned to "Clothing Slowly Removed".
>>... "Hub Caps & Tail Lights called me to center stage ready for action. No, not me stripping but to catch the show! :D"
Ha! You have my express permission to relocate to center stage for anything your heart desires.
I don't usually count votes until the end has arrived, but this one got me curious. So I counted. And so far, YOUR vote brings this Battle to a tie:
David: 3
Henry: 3
Herb: 2
Dang! Terrific Battle up to this point. But... I hope I don't smell another unsatisfying Tie coming up on January 21st.
I'm on my way now to YOUR Battle, Cathy...

Anyhow in regards to >>.."you have my express permission to relocate to center stage for anything your heart desires." I'm not an exhibitionist but I appreciate the invite. lol Oh yeah, did you check out "Hey, Big Spender"? Now to check out the results. :)
No worries, CATHY. And, yes, I did check out 'HEY, BIG SPENDER', and that'll woik! I think just about anything with a pronounced "BOMP!-BOMP!-BOMP!" beat woiks for striptease... not that I have any first-hand knowledge of that, ya un'erstan'?

Stephen T. McCarthy Reviews...
Fun Fact: I came across "The Stripper" in a thrift store once. Left it behind, but did snap a quick pic for my Instagram. Kind of wish I'd gotten it now. I see the Herb Alpert one a lot; I think I need to add it to my vintage vinyl collection. I mean, the fact that I see it all the time is a sign, right?
ReplyDeleteI like all of these selections, but like Henry Mancini's the best of all!
Now I'm off to read the comments to see what everyone else thought!
Kim @ The ReInVintaged Life
KIM, it's a pleasure to see you here! Thanks for stopping by with a vote.
DeleteIn my opinion (which ranks as #1 in these parts), 'WHIPPED CREAM AND OTHER DELIGHTS' is the greatest album cover of all time. So, yep, methinks you ought to snag it the next time you see it available.
After a quick 3 to 0 start on everyone else, David Rose has now fallen a vote behind Henry Mancini. Lovin' the unpredictability of this Battle!
Yak later, Kim...

ReplyDeleteThis is a no-brainer for me. Tijuana Brass all the way. It's 3 fold really. First off ,I grew up as a trumpet player as a young man. Not feeling very cool as youngster ,this album cover added an element of cool to playing trumpet. Secondly, as stated above again this album cover was the beginnings of my young male lust as a 10 year old. The final capper is that I worked for Pat Senatore at Pasquale's jazz club in Malibu. Pat was Herb Albert's bass player. So all the way Jose, Love Potion for the win.
LELLY ~
DeleteThanks so much for coming by to vote, me ol' Pal! (You beat Pooh here -- that slacker!)
Your vote for HA&TTB is fully understandable. And it's welcome, too, as it tightens up this race. (I love a real close Battle. And I consider it an A+ Battle when my own vote on the final day actually decides the winner. And the way this BOTB has been going so far, it seems quite possible that this might indeed come down to my own vote at the end.)
Ha! Man, that 'WHIPPED CREAM AND OTHER DELIGHTS' album cover is the classic of classics! My Grandpa had that album when I was just a kid, and I remember just staring and staring at it. I would say my fascination with THAT album cover, and Julie Newmar's form in her Catwoman outfit, was proof positive that I had heterosexual DNA. :^)
Hey, Brother, I got your last E and will be checking out your site that you linked me to over my next days off. I work 12-hour shifts Monday thru Wednesdays, which seriously cuts into any other activities during those three days.
I think you will find my next BOTB on February 1st of great interest. And then the one on February 15th will feature YOU!
Thanks again for participatin', Lelly!

First off, congrats on your 100th battle! And for going back to twice a month.
ReplyDeleteThe Stripper is a classic. Not really my cup of tea, but still a classic nonetheless. And while Mancini is good - my cohort casts a vote in his general direction - I'll give my vote to Herb Alpert. They make that brass better down in Mehico, you know?
BEER BROTHER, I thank you and OTHER B for the votes!!
DeleteMan, this is a crazy-close Battle. If my math is correct (always a long shot), then Mancini leads with 5 votes, while David Rose and Herb Alpert are tied with 4.
I'm bracing myself for "a Battle with no winner" come the 21st.

DeleteThanks for the vote, and for the word "Burly-Q".

Okay, I'm back. I listened to all three intently and I kinda figured I might vote the way I've ultimately decided to...
ReplyDeleteThe Mancini one is good for sure, but I think the drum solos took them out of the running for me. I've never been a drum solo kinda gal. That being said, the brass is so fine...
That leaves my two favs and I'm actually having a hard time choosing. I love David Rose's The Stripper. So classic. And hey, I remember that Carol Burnett skit. They don't make 'em like her anymore. The whole cast on her show was amazing and Tops all the way. (Did you see the recent CB special a few weeks ago?)
In the end, i'm giving my vote to Herb Alpert. My parents had the Whipped Cream album so I heard he and his Tijuana Brass often. Put me down for Love Potion #9...
Fantastic battle Stephen. I couldn't think of a better way to commemorate the occasion!
(and my apologies: I didn't have a chance to put a battle together in time for the Jan 15th date. The crap from the end of the year kinda carried over into the new yesr so it's been slow-going over here. But I'm confident that I'll be back in the game next month...)
Have a good weekend. HAPPY 100th!

Hey, thanks for returning and casting a vote, MICHELE! I'm grateful. And thanks so much for the kind words and compliments on the Battle. You're right that I was shooting for a big birthday party atmosphere for this installment!

Herb thanks you for the vote. He's still very much in this fight. And despite the fact that David Rose scored the first 3 votes right out of the chute, I think this looks like it's now a 2-contestant contest between H & H.

I would have loved to have heard any of theses songs at Girls, Girls, Girls or the Ivar. Even more, I'd like to remember being at those places and even more to have the money back that I spent.

Al Bondigas here. Una batalla muy interesante. This one was tough for me. I kept going back and forth between David Rose and Herb Alpert. I really like “Love Potion Number Nine” from The American Graffiti soundtrack and I think Herb Albert and TJ Brass were outstanding, but I’m gonna have to make muh rulin’ fer David Rose and his orchestra. Very tough decision. Them womens may have had some influence. Anyway, that’s it. That’s my rulin’.
ReplyDeleteJudge Al, you're right, this is a difficult battle. Damned difficult! And this vote of yours just tightened it up and made it even more difficult.
DeleteAt this moment, this is what she looks like:
David = 5
Henry = 6
Herb = 6
This is crazy!

ReplyDeleteThis battle was fun, I liked them all. Young as I was when the Noxema commercial aired, I well remember blushing and giggling like I'd heard something naughty - ha! I was sure Tijuana's Brass would swipe the cake off the table, but strangely, Mancini at Tiffany's beckoned me back for a second listen and that did it for me!
I know I'm probably too late (sorry), but thought I'd chime in anyway ;-)
Thanks for chiming in, dIEDRE! My policy on BOTB voting has remained the same from the beginning: I will accept any vote right up until the second that I post the Results page. Therefore, indeed, your vote counted, and I thanks ya for it!
