Just came across this little Tid-Bit, and I thought it would make an interesting Musical Monday post! Whats the 2nd most sung song at any athletic event?......You know it!!!
"Na na na na ...na na na na ....Hey hey hey.....GOOD-BYE"!!!!!
In 1969, a singer named Gary DeCarlo recorded his first single for Mercury Records. He then went back to the studio to record a "throwaway" flip side, something so very bad that no self respecting DJ would EVER play it instead of the "A" side...A few of his friends were at the studio that night; they suggested a tune they once performed in a band in 1961 called "Kiss Him Good-Bye", it was perfect for the "B" side.....Except it had no chorus. No problem-they made up one on the spot, with the "Na na's instead of lyrics...Hahaha...They described it as an embarrassing record....An insult!
But to everyones horror, Mercury LOVED it and decided to release it as a single. No one wanted to take credit for the atrocity, so it was released under the name "STEAM".
"Na NA" sold more than a million copies, but DeCarlo wouldn't make another "STEAM" record.
Mercury got a different group to do the follow-ups, but the best that they could come up with was "I've Gotta Make You Love Me," which reached #46 on the charts in 1970..
Hmmmmmm, this was kinda fun! Maybe a little history of the "One Hit Wonder" could become a regular Monday Post...Stay Tuned..... Peace..... Galen

Ride On.......
Excuse me for being redundant...( Lime and Serena )..
I know that sometimes ( Sometimes?), I get a little carried away with the joys of being on my Harley all the time, but my "Quote of the Day", explains it all!!!
" You Never see a motorcycle,
Parked in front of a Psychiatrits Office"!
(Unless it's theirs)
GOD.....I love this Country.... Peace.

Scuse Me............
WARNING!!!! The post you are about to read is about a French guy. It is interesting, but gross. It also kind of fulfills both Musical Monday AND TMI Tuesday obligations...Hahahaha..Enjoy.....
Frenchman Joseph Pujol, the virtuoso of the anal accordian, earned fame and fortune at the turn of the nineteenth century as La Petomane.While lying in the bath..Pujol made a remarkable discovery that he could modulate sound with complete odorless farting!!
Pujol took his act to Paris where he became an immediate overnight sensation, even outselling France's favorite actress Sarah Bernhardt. His performance included a series of imitations, such as calico being torn, a cannon, an 8 day old pup, A creaking door, an owl, a duck, a swarm of bees, a bullfrog and a pig...he could 'intone' by placing a small horn in his rectum, and playing " By The Light of The Silvery Moon. And he could easily extinguish a candle from 1 foot away..
For the encore, he would insert a yard of rubber hose with a cigarette in one end of his rectun, then drew the cigarrete in and exhaled smoke.
The highlight of Pujols career, was a contiental tour that drew many of the crowned heads of Europe, although King Leopold II of belgium, felt obliged to see the entire act in disguise! When Pujols died in 1945, at the ripe old age of 88, he was succeeded by several imitators, including a female "Petomane" called La Mere Alexandre, who could imitate the farts of the famous, and perform a series of entertaining "Occupational Farts" including those of nuns and freemasons.
Her Magnum Opus however, was the impression of the bombardment of Port Arthur.
In the 1980's, an American "Petomane" known as Honeysuckle Divine, could blow out a candle at two paces and fart "Jingle Bells"...Now if this post wasn't bad enough, I have the uncanny knack of " saving up" my flatulance, as to not be too noxious to my co-workers. When I would go outside to get some air, I would find an opportunistic time to release the Methane! One day a crowd of my co-workers were gathered around the picnic table smoking. One of them knew of my ability to "Fart on Cue",( since I had a Cache' of them stored up) he called out "Oshko"...
"Show this new guy what you can do." I strolled over to the table....Made a V peace sign, and farted out the opening to Beethovin's 5th...Duh Duh Duh Duuuuuuuuuh!!!!!!
As I strolled away in stunned silence, I knew it was my "Finest Hour"........."
I think the guy quit soon after!!... "V" .....FRAAAaaaap!

Buick Open Update.....
Well the Buick Open was great. Unfortunately Tiger Woods was not in attendance, because of the birth of his daughter just 2 weeks ago. That gave an opportunity for the rest of the PGA to stand a chance. A young man named Bateman won the Open, and it was his first tour victory!
Because of Tiger's absence, the crowd was not as huge and suffocating as it usually is....
The place where the Open was played is called Warwick Hills. It is a very pretigious golf course, and the homes on it are awesome. I parked at my friend and mentors place Pete Samaras's house, which is on the 16th fairway, we walked down to My friend Shannon's place which is on the 15th tee box, she was quite gracious to us and we partied for a while then moved on...
For those of you that don't follow golf, there is a very popular golfer named John Daly..
John Daly is like the "bad boy" of golf...He drinks, he smokes, he has publicly admitted to gambling away at least 9 million dollors at the casino's, but he is a great golfer and has won 2 Majors, The PGA, and The British Open....Well he has a huge following as it is, but today it was off the chart because of another reason...He was being followed by another "bad boy" in his own right......Kid Rock!! Kid goes to every major sporting event in Michigan, whether it be Piston Basketball, Red Wing Hockey, NASCAR Racing at MIS, and you can always see him at Comerica Park watching the Tigers ....He was awesome, he shook everybody's hand that was stook out, he signed golf balls, hats, programs, titties, shirts, you name it, he signed it..What was really neat was that the Marshalls on the course, realized what a problem this was becoming, so as a special exception, they got a golf cart for him to ride around in. But this was not any cart, it was a bright red golf cart that was customized to look like a Buick Enclave. Kid looked fantastic riding around in his special red cart, with his Tigers Hat and Tigers shirt on...What a great day to be alive in Michigan!!!..I really don't have much else to say about it except.....
Country Club Chicks, whether they are teeny boppers, preppies, MILF's, old dried up bleach blondes, glamorized "trophy wives", or just decent human beings..........
All have really pretty feet!!!..Perfectly pedied, perfectly polished, no bunions, no corns, no crusty heels, ..they were just all sparkly with cute little toe rings and all.. Much like Susie's or Signgurl's ..AAHHHHHHHH!..A Great Day to be alive in Michigan!!!.... Peace

FORE!!!!!!!!.......
Hi Everybody!!!...What a glorious day to be alive eh?...Some of my blogger friends have been clammering for a little food chat from the G-Man, so I thought I'd share where I went after work today. As you all may remember, my daughter is home from college for the Summer, and it is terrific having her home so we are all together as a family. I work in a town called Fenton, about 20 miles from Flint where I live. And about 5 miles from Fenton is a quaint little Burg called Linden..In Linden is a historical hotel called....THE LINDEN HOTEL!
This hotel is well known for their Fish and Chips..(ahhh)...Sorry, I have to sigh every time I think about this delictable delight that they are famous for.
For 6.99 you get golden brown French Fries, Homemade Creamy Cole Slaw, and the most lightly battered, crispy, flaky, delicious, Lake Superior Whitefish in the world!!! You've seen me, you know that I've eaten in the greatest places in America, so I'm not too much on superlatives, but this is the best I've had!!! And the best part is....They keep the fish coming as long as you want. They start you off with 2 huge fillets, and will keep bringing them upon request.
Well tonight was a special evening, not only was My whole family there, but I invited my Bro-in-law and his wife, and my daughters God-Mother and her friend along too. All together there was 8 people , and we all had the 'special' plus assorted beer offerings..Huge pitchers of Blue Moon, ice cold Labat Blue, MGD, Molson's Golden Ale, ...You get the picture. So after much fun I picked up the tab for everyone, it came to 98.50, so I gave the very pretty and hard working Renay, 120.00 and called it good!!.Everyone agreed that my choice was excellent, and I couldn't have felt better since I love being RIGHT and All-Knowing!!!
Tommorow is one of my favorite days of the year...because thats the day that I go to the Buick Open Golf Tournament...One of the perks of the car business is that you score free shit all of the time. The Buick Open is played in Grand Blanc Michigan, and that is only 10 miles from my home. I scored 3 tickets WITH club house passes for free!! I'm taking my best friend Alex, and our friend Barry. I'll post about it tomorrow....
If you happen to be watching it on TV, you may want to pay close attention to the 15th...
My friend Shannon lives right on the course, and her back yard butts up to the Tee Box. We will be partying in her back yard, drinking Frozen Margerita's and partaking of other Party Favors!
Keep on eye out for the G-Man, he will be the one with the Huge Grin tatooed to his face!!!
Peace......Galen
