Song of the Day - September 25th is officially National One Hit Wonder Day - and each year this begs the eternal question of what is the “greatest” one hit wonder… I never really waver from my choice - “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” is, for me, the greatest ever one hit wonder. Written by Paul Leka, Gary DeCarlo and Dale Frashuer, it was delivered by the group called Steam, or Steem, in 1969. The songwriting trio had been a doo-wop group in Connecticut, but disbanded and moved to New York City to be producers for Fontana Records. The executives liked their singing and their repertoire so much, they indulged them to record everything they had. They resurrected this song “Kiss Him Goodbye” from their old doo-wop stuff, and recorded this single, with DiCarlo on lead vocal, in less than an hour. They felt it needed to be longer, and so they wrote more as they recorded - adding in the Na Na’s and Hey,Hey’s, and adding an old previously recorded drum track from another session. I think of this recording session as the stars aligning somehow especially specially. Sometimes it is the unsuspected bit of seeming nothing-special-ness that becomes magically something very very special. The single hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart the first week of December 1969, riding out the 60’s on that jammed chart. And at the point, the single has reached multi-platinum status, having sold nearly 7 million copies. It has been used in countless movies, and TV shows, commercials, and is played at sporting events, as what they call a “taunt chant” … which, in the same spirit, has been sung on the floor of Congress, at least twice famously, to illustrate that those voting on a certain bill would soon lose their seats for their votes. At least for me, this song never ages, and never doesn’t stop me in my tracks, to sing along and just shake me out of any blue spot…” Now... just for fun, whats your favorite One Hit Wonder? ... see my list below of some worthy nominees...

a list of great one hit wonders ---

- Fontella Bass' "Rescue Me" - whose birthday is also today - released today in 1965

- Question Mark & The Mysterians' "96 Tears"

- Aha's "take On Me"

- Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky"

- Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair)"

- Sinead O'Conor's "Nothing Compares To U"

- The Tokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"

Review of "Richard III" directed by Jeffrey Combs, 2005

Moran, R. (2005, July 7). 'Richard III' stands the test of time change. Ventura County Star.

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

'Richard III' stands the test of time change

Kingsmen Shakespeare drama transported to Victorian England By Rita Moran Arts writer

Director Jeffrey Combs has transplanted Shakespeare's "Richard III" to late 19th- century London, placing the malevolent manipulator in an era when he could have made headlines as Richard the Ripper or become the focus of one of Sherlock Holmes' famous cases.

Richard, determined to slash aside much more legitimate rivals for the throne while keeping an aesthetic distance from the action, might have felt very much at home in the shadowy recesses of Victorian England. It's an amusing approach that functions reasonably well, despite a few roadblocks. Moving the kingdom forward three centuries brings Richard and his assorted rivals, relatives and subordinates into a time when crime was rampant, but it seems unlikely that so many royal figures, or wannabes, could be carted off for beheadings with little murmur from the citizenry. Shakespeare's Richard reigned in a bloody period that battled. over royal secession, while Victoria's England was relatively placid. On the streets of London, though, troubles simmered and plots thrived.

New look Bringing Richard to the 19th century also involves costume updates. The women still look fetching in attire of the period, and men look as pompous, or evil, in tails and top hats as they might have in tights and doublets. But commanders and troops in neat double-breasted uniforms suggest the constabulary almost as much as topple each obstacle to the imperial forces. Still, the essence of the play perseveres through any distracting time elements. What the play needs is a convincing. Richard, and Lane Davies presents him in all his diabolic obsessions. Richard, always portrayed as somewhat deformed with a soul to match, is a villain who constantly explains himself, from his first famous words, "Now is the winter of our discontent," to his death. He can twist any circumstance to his cause and any person to his will through a combination of devious reasoning and subtle but convincing threats. Davies, a longtime Kingsmen Shakespeare Company stalwart, has played his share of villains in a busy career on stage and TV, but Richard plumbs the depths of villainy. The actor meets the challenge not only in exuding ill-will, but also in the glee he takes as his machinations topple each obstacle to the throne. The stage on California Lutheran University's grounds is set up with a front-and-center Allan Hunt, who is directing boxed light that casts a ghastly glow from floor level at Richard for each of his intimate plot concoctions or rationalizations. Director Combs and Davies have wisely chosen to minimize Richard's physical distortion while maximizing his psychological ones. Some historians believe the former, at least, were exaggerated in early chronicles by authors favoring the line of succession Richard disrupted.

Credible cast The rest of the large cast is filled with actors who bring credibility to their roles as royals and rebels. Mark Silver is the faithful Buckingham who curries Richard's favor until he's flicked off like a bothersome fly. Allan Hunt who is directing the annual festival's second show, "Merry Wives of Windsor," is Richard's brother, Clarence, as devoid of guile as Richard is full of it. Seventh- grader Joe Walker, in his first Kingsmen role, is a determined Young Prince Edward, who delivers his lines with confidence and clarity. Richard Winterstein as the failing King Edward IV is always a presence to be reckoned with. And Donal Whelan is amusing as the Second Murderer and noble as Richmond, Richard's final obstacle. Whelan's voice is one that projects well in the outdoor setting, even out- maneuvering the frogs, but the actor could enhance his performance by giving more nuance to the meaning of Richmond's high-flying words. The women, with significant roles as foils to Richard's willful ways, include Jane Longenecker as Lady Anne, his first prey; Anne Lockhart as the vengeful Queen Margaret; and Julia Duffy as the feisty Queen Elizabeth. Anyone not totally familiar with English history is likely to be lost as the various royals and courtiers weave in and out of the action. But by hanging onto the confidences uttered by Richard, plot essentials will be clear enough. Other details are delivered by the cast, sometimes in competition with the hearty frogs. Combs employs a contemporary method in presenting the ghosts that plague the beleaguered Richard, projecting their anguished faces on a screen at the back of the stage. It's a little shaky in operation, but not a bad idea. Another effect, a shadowy figure in an upper window whose actions evoke the dispatching of Richard's various victims, worked less well on opening night. Dramatic swelling of film- scope music accompanies major moments in the play, giving a melodramatic tinge to the larger-than-life tale. "Richard" continues this weekend, then alternates with "The Merry Wives of Windsor" through Aug. 7. E-mail Rita Moran at ritamoran@earthlink.net.

Happy Birthday Emun Elliott the Scottish theatre, film and television actor.

Born in Edinburgh n 28th November 1983 as Emun Mohammadi, and brought up in Portobello, and Duddingston, his father is of Persian descent. Emun was educated at George Heriot’s School before going on to Aberdeen University and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

Elliots first break was appearing in an episode of Monarch of the Glen in 2005, we then saw him in the Scottish Cop sitcom, Feel the Force.

In 2009 Elliott starred in a TV mini-series called “Paradox” in which the lab he works at as a physicist is named ‘Prometheus’ and he has a “chance’ to change the future because he has insight to the future. In Elliott’s real future. Three years later, he would star in Ridley Scott’s film named 'Prometheus’ as a character named Chance, Mark Bonnar also starred in the series.

One off appearances in Inspector George Gently and Vera were followed up with Game of Thrones, where he played the character Marillion in four episodes. He was then in the Glasgow Drama series, Lip Service on BBC Three and another sitcom Threesome. His biggest role to date was arguably in the BBC period drama, The Paradise, where he played John Moray, the shop’s owner. We saw him in the 2017 series Trust Me, which was set in his home town Edinburgh and starred Jodie Whittaker. Elliot also cropped up in the latest Kingsmen movie last year.

Emun appeared in the dark comedy drama Guilt an excellent series, where he again teamed up with Mark Bonnar. Fresh Meat and Gary: Tank Commander star Greg McHugh, the lovely Phyllis Logan, featured in the second series, the third and final season was on our screens last year.

If you're looking for a great brif gangster type series look up Sexy Beast a prequal to the 2000 black comedy crime film, which starred the excellent duo Ben Kingsley and Ray Winstone, it is definitely worth a watch, Emun plays the role of Don Logan. It got mediochre reviews, but I liked it.

As reported over the past two years Walking to Paris is still in post production, no dare for it's release as yet, Emun also has the BBC drama The Gold returning for a second series on the BBC. The series covers the 1983 Brink's-Mat robbery. A four-part drama The Guest is also in production, Described as an addictive, fast-paced story that centres on the toxic and beguiling relationship between a successful business owner shooting started last month in and around Cardiff.

Brownie points if you know where the first photo of Emun was taken.

Keith Richards pictured with a ‘59 Les Paul that he sold to Mick Taylor when Taylor was playing with John Mayall. The guitar rejoined the Stones with Taylor in 1969.

According to information provided by high-end guitar brokerage Richard Henry, the “Keith Burst” is a ’59 Les Paul that first arrived at Farmers Music Store in Luton, England, in ’61, and was played for a time by John Bowen of Mike Dean & The Kingsmen. Bowen had a Bigsby added to the guitar at Selmer’s Music in London, before trading it in there in late ’62. A young Keith Richards, who purchased the Les Paul with Bigsby, occasionally visited a regular haunt of musicians on the booming London scene of the day, Selmer’s. (It’s worth noting that both Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac and Jeff Beck of The Yardbirds also acquired used ’59 Les Pauls at Selmer’s, and several other acquisitions logged in the history of rock also took place in this popular west-end shop.)

Throughout the early days of the Stones, the Les Paul was one of Richards’s most prominent guitars. The Best-known photos of the era show him playing it on a Ready Steady Go! TV-show performance in Britain in ’64, and he also played it on a tour of the US that same year, when it popped up during the Stones’s performance on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Early Rolling Stones hits purportedly recorded with the Les Paul include “Satisfaction,” “Get Off My Cloud,” “Let’s Spend the Night Together,” and “Little Red Rooster.” As seen in color photos from the time, just five years after it left the factory it was already faded to a deep amber burst with a little iced-tea shading around the body edges. While still in Richards’s possession, the Bigsby ’Burst was also purportedly loaned to Jimmy Page for some studio sessions, and was then loaned to Eric Clapton for use with Cream at the ’66 Windsor Jazz & Blues Festival. - Gibson

James Bond in den Händen des Bösen? - Amazon hat nun die kreative Kontrolle über 007

James Bond-Enthusiasten zittern um die Zukunft ihrer Franchise, nachdem diese Woche bekannt gegeben wurde, dass die Bond-"Eltern" der letzten dreißig Jahre die kreative Kontrolle über die Franchise abgegeben haben und zwar an den neuen Haupt-Vertreiber Amazon. Kein Wunder, dass die Wellen angesichts dieser News hochgehen, denn egal wie man zum Daniel Craig-Content stand, die Aussicht, dass eine multimediale Kooperation neben den Vertriebsrechten jetzt auch noch die inhaltliche Entscheidungsgewalt über die Inhalte einer Franchise bekommt - und das im Jahr 2025 - ist nun mal ein Grund zur Sorge.

Nüchtern betrachtet, muss man sich eingestehen, dass die Machern hinter Bond offenbar wirklich nicht mehr wussten was sie nach dem Ende der Danie Craig-Reihe mit der Franchise anfangen sollten, was nur zu verständlich ist, denn SPOILER immerhin starb James Bond im letzten Film, und selbst wenn man retconnen würde, dass er überlebt hat und ihm Amnesie verpassen würde, wäre es nicht mehr glaubwürdig ihn einfach wieder in einen Frauenkiller-Geheimagenten zu verwandeln SPOILER ENDE. Insofern war immer klar, dass der nächste Bond-Film auf jeden Fall ein Reboot sein müsste, der die Craig-Kontinuität hinter sich lässt und ersetzt. Doch das war nicht das Hauptproblem hinter den Kulissen, dieses war eher was man inhaltlich in der neuen Version machen sollte. Modernisiert war Bond schon zu Pierce Brosnan-Zeiten geworden, endgültig ansprechend für die moderne Zuseherschaft mit den Craig-Filmen, aber bedeutsamer sind all die anderen Agenten-Reihen dort draußen, die in den letzten 25 + Jahren gekommen und gegangen sind und die Bond-Formel überholt haben - von Tom Cruises Mission Impossible-Filmen, über die Jason Bourne-Reihe, Jack Ryan, den Triple X- und Kingsmen-Filmen, sogar "The Fast and the Furious" hat sich mehr oder weniger vom Undercover-Cop-Drama weg in die selbe Richtung entwickelt, und Parodie-Reihen wie "Johnny English" und "Spy Kids" sind inzwischen genauso legendär wie Reihen, über die man sich durch sie eigentlich lustig gemacht hat. Wenn man bedenkt was dann noch alles so in Form einer TV-Serie herum gegeistert ist - und das in jedem denkbaren Genre, in Superhelden-Universen, Adult-Animation, guter alter Action so wie Satire-, Drama- und Comedy-Form, dann wird schnell klar: Ein neuer James Bond-Film muss um beeindruckend zu sein etwas bieten, das kein anderer bisher geboten hat. Und was das sein soll, nun das ist angesichts des Quellen-Materials nicht so einfach zu beantworten. Denn Ian Fleming ist nicht immer gut gealtert, was an sich kein Problem wäre, wenn man eine Bond-Verfilmung machen würde, die einfach zur Zeit der Romane spielt und sie hier und da ein wenig updaten würde, aber das würde mehr Geld kosten und weniger Zuseher anlocken, denn die breite Masse will angbeblich immer Filme, die in ihrer Gegenwart und Realität spielen, damit sie sich mit den handelnden Charakteren verbunden fühlen. Sprich: Man kann verstehen, dass die bisherigen Macher das Handtuch geworfen haben, weil sie einfach keine Idee für einen gelungenen Neuansatz hatten und von allen Seiten dafür kritisiert wurden, dass sie sich zu viel Zeit bis zum nächsten Film lassen (obwohl das eigentlich was Gutes für die Geldbörse der Zuseher ist).

Es ist nicht unwahr, dass man die Fenster für manche Ideen verstreichen hat lassen - Gerüchte um einen Idris Elba-Bond und eine Jane Bond-Reihe sind inzwischen verstummt, weil sich die Zeiten geändert haben, und auch viele andere Darsteller wie Tom Hiddleston und wohl auch Henry Cavill sind inzwischen zu alt dafür um mit der Rolle des James Bond erst in den nächsten Jahren zu beginnen; immerhin haben wir aus dem Daniel Craig-Leidensweg gelernt, dass man einen jüngeren Darsteller nehmen sollte, wenn man einen langlebigen neuen Bond buchen will. Zugleich wäre ein neuer Darsteller aber natürlich auch ein guter Ansatz dafür um die Richtung der neuen Filme festzulegen, wenn ich weiß wer Bond sein wird, weiß ich auch was dieser umsetzen kann und will.

Insofern ist es nicht schlecht, dass nun jemand die kreativen Entscheidungen trifft, der mit der Franchise etwas tun wird anstatt nur abzuwarten. Doch die Sorge der Leute rührt jetzt weniger vom nächsten Bond-Film her - der wird den Zusehern entweder gefallen oder nicht, das kann im Vorfeld keiner wissen, und ändert sich auch nicht dadurch, wer den Film macht - die Sorge kommt von der begründeten Annahme, dass Amazon eben nicht nur alle paar Jahre einen neuen James Bond-Film machen wird, sondern versuchen könnte die Franchise auszuquetschen, mit Spin-Offs hinten und vorne. Nicht umsonst gab es kaum, dass "Rings of Power" in Entwicklung war, Gerüchte und Pläne für gefühlt hunderte andere Mittelerde Spin-Offs. Und auch "Wheel of Time" mag einer unsicheren Zukunft nach Staffel 3 entgegen blicken, ist sich dafür aber bereits mindestens eines (potentiellen) Spin-Offs sicher. Und so sehr sich die Leute auf "Ballerina" freuen, so groß war die Kritik an der "Continental"-Serie, einfach nur deswegen weil sie überhaupt existiert hat. Leute fürchten sich nun vor "Young M", "Moneypenny", "Felix Lightner" und "Jimmy Bond"-Spin-Offs in Serien- und Filmform.

Noch dazu ist Amazon jetzt nicht gerade für seine qualitativ überragenden Eigenproduktionen bekannt. Sie bewerben sich selbst gerne damit, doch die wirklich guten sind meistens Co-Produktionen oder Mini-Serien oder Serien, die nach einer Staffel eingestellt werden, bevor sie die Mehrheit der Menschheit ansehen konnte. Die gelungenen und erfolgreichen Filme sind meistens gekauft worden, nachdem sie von anderen Studios produziert wurden. Selbst "The Expanse" begann ihr Leben nicht als Amazon-Original, sondern wurde nur gerettet und dann in den Boden gestampft (mit offenen Ende bzw. sinnlosen Tease für einen Zeitsprung in spätere Bücher, der nie adaptiert wurde). Klar, manche Serien sind gut oder wurden im Laufe der Zeit besser und sind nun ganz beliebt, aber alles in allem genommen ist es nicht so, dass Amazon Original gleichbedeutend mit "das wird sicher gut" anzusehen ist, eher mit "die stecken Massen Geld in was, das okay ist, aber eigentlich sein Geld nicht wert ist". Trotzdem könnte aus der Bond-Franchise was Gutes herauskommen, aber die Streaming Services wollen heutzutage ja immer alles gleich. Vier Serien und ein Film werden vermutlich gleichzeitig in Entwicklung gehen, und was dann abgesehen vom Film an Ende rauskommt, wird nicht unbedingt das Interessanteste oder Beste oder am Besten umgesetzte Projekt sein.

Also ja, die Leute sind besorgt. Vermutlich aus gutem Grund.

Aber was können wir schon tun? Die gleichen Leuten waren es, die so lange herumgejammert haben, dass kein neuer Bond-Film kommt, bis es deswegen zur aktuellen Lage kam. Insofern sind sie so oder so nie zufrieden. Wenn nichts kommt, jammern sind. Und wenn was zu kommen droht, dann jammern sie erst recht. Und das ohne zu wissen was am Ende rauskommen wird.

Immerhin leben wir in Zeiten, in der alle Geld sparen wollen, insofern ist es durchaus möglich, dass Amazon tatsächlich nichts anderes macht als einen neuen Bond-Film, der eine neue Reihe beginnen soll. Und der wäre früher oder später sowieso gekommen. Also abwarten und Tee trinken. Oder Martini. Den im wahren Leben übrigens niemand jemals geschüttelt trinken würde, aber das nur so nebenbei.

64. The Jolly Green Giant by The Kingsmen debuted Jan 65 and peaked at number four, scoring 888 points.

The music for the song is from The Olympics' Big Boy Pete (peaking at 50 in 1960), and the lyrics are based on a popular tv commercial for Green Giant frozen vegetables.

While the song is now forgotten, it's hit status proves The Kingsmen were not a one hit wonder with Louie Louie. They also made the top 20 with a remake of Motown's first top 40 hit, Money by Barrett Strong, charting higher than the original.

I got tagged in this one, so why not share some random stuff with the people following :) love getting to answer random things so people can know more.

• My favourite colours are deep crimson red and any kind of unsaturated dark blue, since I love adding red and blue as colours in sketches

• The last song I listened to was Coconuts by Kim Petras... I was drawing Spy x Spy. I can explain

• The last movie I watched was The Kingsmen, and I watched someone else react to the movie. (I don't watch stuff much and like any kind of company during it to keep me focused)

• Currently, I'm technically reading a book on handling anxiety with little activities inside.

• Currently craving some good sleep and a hot chocolate, specifically Galaxy Caramel flavour.

• Currently watching GrayStillPlays on one screen and Police body cam footage where they deal with Karen's on another. Tv and laptop working overtime.

• Coffee or Tea. I can't really have either cos caffeine, but decaf coffee is my favourite out of the two. I love the smell of coffee. (I've betrayed my people. The British army will soon come for me)

I don't really know who to tag, and I'd love to know about any of my followers of anyone who comes by this. So anyone who wishes to, definitely take part :)

Rules, answer and tag 9 ppl who you would like to get to know better!
