Like I said: I am in the middle of doing morning radio-shows this whole week with my 60s band ‘the revolvers’
Everyday we do a chalenge: How would this modern song have sounded when it was made in the 60s.

With this Tune I declare 2009 the year of the Schnauzer. It’s a bit hard describe this one; is it an original or a remix? 90% of what you hear is played in the last month.

Note to self: do an original next week.

In 1965 the McCoys had a huge hit with ‘hang on Sloopy’, a song named after Dorothy Sloop, a singer/pianist from Ohio. It became the unofficial fight song for the Ohio state University -their version can be downloaded right here- Of Course as with a lot of 60s songs, there is supposed to be an official dance to it. You guessed correctly: the Sloopy. And what do you get when the French do ‘the Sloopy’? That’s right! ‘LE SLOOPY’!
This clip is from -according to IMDB- the most incoherent low budget movie of the 60s. Sounds good already doesn’t it? ‘Rat Pfink a Boo Boo’ is a movie about… ehm… nothing really.
