In this week’s episode we celebrate the classic “Little Bit o’ Soul,” penned in 1964 by the British beat songwriting duo of John Carter & Ken Lewis. Your hosts Erik & Weldon spin the original 1965 version by long-haired Coventry combo the Little Darlings and discourse on the song’s profane and holy implications (0:39). The Music Explosion’s boffo box-office 1967 version reached the top of the charts and is a staple of oldies radio to this day, which proves that bubblegum stays in your body for years (37:20). And finally, we fly to Spain to hear Los Rockeros perform some kind of mystical Catholic ritual which transforms the song into “Tómalo Con Humor”, which’ll have you shouting “Hey!”, man! (1:02:34)
