American Bandstand --

Rate-A-Record, where three kids would listen and then rate a new song, was a very popular segment. Rankings went from 35 to 98.

"It has a good beat and you can dance to it."

"I'd give it an 85."

thanks for listening betsy :wavey:

It was good --- easy on the ears, and lasted 9 + minutes.... my kind of song...

[On Edit -- "Dick, (as in Clark), I listened to it again....and .... I raise my rating...."I'd give it a 92."

OK, so I am spamming this thread and upping my post count (+1) I want to eventually catch up with Kathy1...


The concensus here at the office...

Becca - "It's pretty good for '97. Microphone on the vocal needs to be louder." 93


Jaime - "I prefer country but this is OK...not bad." 80

Caroline - ""Not bad for a club recording. I'd want to hear it live." 90

Eric - "Ok." 87


Fred - "I'm an old timer. Don't ask." (Fred is a senior citizen 65 years young.)

Which gives us an average of 87.50 and 6 people who listened simutaneously for about 3-4 minutes.... (Boss came out of his office and workers had to scatter...)

~~~~ Happy Screw Around Friday ~~~~ Everybody!!!

Hey Bill it looks like you've got a good PR lady on your team! :D

This rocks. It's so rare to hear a band in a bar these days that can actually do what the bands used to do at Woodstock or the Whiskey.

Yep....that's the one.

And your SNL reference was a classic comeback! I laughed so hard, my 17 year old kid paused Guitar Hero ---and screwed up the song--- to come look at the computer.

You live in my TVland...

(BTW...did you ever see the movie called THE GROOVE TUBE?) I think it was the precursor for SNL.

I haven't seen or heard of it before now.

I looked it up on Netflix. You think it held up enough to be worth a view nowadays?

It starred Chevy Chase and was the first (to my knowledge) to have *fake* commercials...I don't remember a lot about it, but I laughed (back in ? 1974-75 ?) when I saw it.

Let me think and try to remember it -- (i.e. the degree of tasteless and offensive humor...)

And it would probably be dated, by today's standards...
