The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for July 13, 2020

Feels like there’s a drum solo in the air tonight.

Maybe a duet this time…

Interestingly enow, I had that earworming me when I took my first solo flight back in 1982… :)

Well, it’s in the air tonight!

“I’m an Ape Man, I’m an Ape-Ape Man, I’m an Ape Man” (The Kinks, 1970!)

Goo goo g’joob

Early version of the Nairobi Trio?

Well it does have a good beat and you can dance to it…

That song was used in a commercial from Europe, with a gorilla that played that infamous drum solo. So, that’s a nice tie in!

They go ape over the percussions.

Hmm…. that’s three in a row I’m not “getting” this morning: Off the Mark, F-minus, and now Argyle Sweater. I need coffee…

This just Takes Me Home, back to the 80’s

How about “Wipe Out”

Next up, some Rush.

Jungle Boogie?

Free Bird!

the origin of rap.

Every time I hear that song I think of this video…If you watch it I’m sure you will too!

As famous drum solos go, this one is surprisingly unimpressive. I guess it just hasn’t stood the test of time.

So that’s the…..genesis…..of that behavior in apes?

Where the human natives got the idea for their drum social media.

what’s the song?

Gorilla my dreams?

Cue Matthew Mcconaughey.

I saw what you did there, I saw it with my own two eyes.

YESSSSSSSSSS!

Let’s listen to Wipe Out next!

Next they’ll celebrate where they live….In A Gadda Da Vida which is drunk talk for Garden of Eden…..Iron Butterfly

I can hear it comin in the air tonight
