Thanks to the heroic efforts of Richard, Stinky, CC, rising star andreyud, and boozy Berni, there are three more entries in the Triple Song Title sweepstakes -- or maybe we should call it an endurance contest. How many more of these can you take? Let's find out -- together!Today's first set could be classified as World Music, but this time from Latin America and the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. You may know them as shithole countries, teeming with bad hombres from the wrong side of the Gulf Of America. There's reggae, cumbia, ska, calypso, pachanga, bossa nova, merengue, mento, salsa, samba -- all those funny little songs that brown people sing while they harvest the ingredients for your taco bowl, landscape your golf course, or build your next hotel.
Next up is New Music, more specifically stuff from the past 15 years. This one includes an ode to the unelected immigrant tech bro who is all up in our servers, PLUS the first song featured on this blog that was created by AI! Can your ears tell which one it is?
And finally, there's Music Of The 70's. Can it be that it was all so simple then? There was a wall across Berlin, not the Rio Grande. There was a president who sold his farm to avoid conflicts of interest. A world of afros and apple pie, Camaro T-tops and gasoline lines. Hey there, baby! Say, what's your sign? You know you got to boogie, cuz your platforms are fine! (Disco will be featured in an upcoming compilation.) This set includes another historic first: the first double triple, where both the song title and the name of the performer (C.C.C. Incorporated) are triplets! Bravo, Richard!
From the bottom of our three-chambered hearts, the ruling troika here at Jokonky offers a heartfelt thank you, thank you, thank you to our clever comrades of the commentariat. Будем здоровы!

DeleteI'm very stubborn :-) NIne Nine Nine - Lie, Lie, Lie (1979)
ReplyDeleteIt didn't occur to me until just now that Lie Lie Lie by 999 is also a double triple! A live version was on the debut of this series:

I've put my crown in a box and handed it back to Jon. See title of previous post
DeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your contributions to this quixotic quest, CD. I thought of you recently when I added a nice used copy of the Party Boys' album No Aggro to my vinyl collection. (They were briefly labelmates of Ten Foot Faces.)
DeleteThe paragraph describing the World Music set is hysterical. Good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read it or it would've come out my nose "cause I was laughing so hard. So politically incorrect. A literal lol.

I wasn't sure how well political humor would go over. You never know these days. Glad you got a laugh from it!
DeleteI got a big ol' smile out of it. If you can't cry about the bullshit going on...
DeleteRegarding 'all those funny little songs that brown people sing while they harvest the ingredients for your taco bowl' If you don't watch out they'll harvest your organs as well, just for fun! ;-)

ReplyDeleteFantastico, Jon!
ReplyDeleteHow bout a cinco? The Fucking Eagles - Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Cheers! CC
ReplyDeleteBless you, CC. My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes, but the fact that a band called The Fucking Eagles existed is a light in the darkness of insanity.
