  1. I watched about the last 75 laps, and not much happened. JG was leading when I tuned in, but slipped back to about 10th because they had to restart his car at the pit stop. He made it up to 3rd, and less than a second behind the leader, before dropping back to save fuel. Meanwhile, Clint Bowyer took the lead for a while, but ran out of fuel with 3 laps to go, leaving an easy win for Smoke.

  2. I'll take it back a decade ...

    Apparently this version, that was a hit in the UK, didn't chart in the US. The

    was by The Drifters, and I see that Tony Orlando also covered it in his brief solo career (although I can't find a video of that one).
  3. You've set the mood now Brian. From the same era:

    Check out the great suits in the video. It's interesting looking at the cross-Atlantic time delay back in the '70s. The Tony Orlando & Dawn song charted in the US in '73, but '74 in the UK. Conversely, this song charted in '74 in the UK and '75 in the US.

  4. ... they even LOOK like the early Rolling Stones! LOL

    They do on the video, they didn't on the album cover:

    It's a fun album. I'm glad I bought it in 1992 because I haven't seen it since.

    I'll continue with some more '80s pop:

    This was from about seven years before they bored everyone senseless by spending 15 weeks at #1 in the UK charts with their cover of 'Love is All Around' from the soundtrack to the 1994 film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'.

    (was it a Renault commerical? Saw a comment on another YT vid about Claudia Shieffer and Renault LOL)

    I've looked into it - the commercial did star Claudia Schiffer, but it was for a different French car maker; Citroën. Here is that commercial for the Citroën Xsara Coupé:

    The album I have it on is this one. It has some great tracks on it including

    (listed as 'Boss Hogg' on the album).

  6. I knew somebody would pull that one out sooner or later! Fortunately it wasn't me. :D

    Tell me you've never had a few beers and found yourself singing along to Neil Diamond and I'll take your derision like a man ;).

    This song was released in 1992, but the album was recorded in mono. It could almost be a lost early Rolling Stones session.

  7. Have you ever tried any of the Hogg product logos? There were "Hoggoco" gasoline pumps at Cooter's in at least one episode. Also, Boss came up with oddball products once in awhile, but I can't remember if I saw sample products in any eps.

    I've done the 'Hoggoco' logo - the only place I've used it so far is my Dukes NASCAR. I'll have to do a larger version for this thread. As for JD's other products, I'll look into doing some of them.

  8. Thought I'd continue the 'Rise' theme. This is a moody instrumental track that I have on a CD of music used for commercials, although I can't remember what commercial it was used for.

    MaryAnne, thanks for reminding me of Herb Alpert - I'll have dig my album out.
