Jeff sarcastic? Nah… 🙂
Switch out today… the title is a group who had a hit in 1970 called “Venus.” And my Mom, God-bless her little soul, thought they were saying “I’m your penis, I’m your desire…” Okay, I was 13, Mom, but I don’t think AM radio of the day would let a group sing “penis” in a Top 40 hit. I love my family as they supply me with SOOO much material.
Their checks are in the mail…
😀
Hooray for the Dutch group Venus 😀 Hooray for the Dutch! 🙂
Nice comic, keep it up 🙂
Ah! Dutch! I couldn’t remember where they were from. Thank you for that! I guess I could have Googled them, but it was late when I posted this…
I also did the backgrounds in shades of blue as well to go along with their name…
🙂
It’s also nice that you had Jeff utter the famous words of Daffy Duck the night after Chuck Jones night on TCM.
er, um, Bud says Daffy’s famous line… 🙂
My grandfather taught both me and my cousin, AND my uncle (on three separate occasions) how NOT to fold a pocket knife exactly the same way, except that I’m pretty positive he did it on purpose. He was a wily old goat.
And grabbing the neck of you brothers guitar whilst holding yours by the neck in a house that was built to a long ago electrical standard is also a good learning experience…
“Venus” was a great song! I had a 45 of it that I wore out… I never forgave Bananarama for covering it in the 80’s
RE: Unclemac – Just about any cover a great classic sucks… there are exceptions, yes, but that version of “Venus” should never be played again. It stank up the airwaves. Stick with the originals.
Of course I say that yet my favorite version of “House of the Risin’ Sun” is the Frijid Pink cover…. oops…
🙂
Not “Shock Me” from Kiss? I’m… shocked. 😉
Damn, I forgot that one! Bud gets again one of these days… I’ll use it then!

“She wants rocket ride… she wants a rocket ride…” What was it about Ace Frehley and stupid-lyric ear-worms?
Years back, I used to think that Gene was the group badass. Then I read up on who-wrote-what and realized that the lean, mean street kids behind the drums and lead guitar made the rich kid from Israel look like a pussy. I wonder if that’s why he acted like such an ass. The hardest-rocking Kiss songs – including “Parasite,” the only one from their classic days that still fits the definition of “heavy metal” – came from Frehley, not from Simmons. Ace also wrote “Cold Gin,” possibly the leanest, meanest rock-n-roll song the original lineup released. And Gene’s signiture song, “God of Thunder,” was written by Paul, who had to be argued out of singing it by Bob Ezrin. Hmmmmm… could The Demon have been “overcompensating” for something all these years… ;P
