In the latest show, we frat-ernize with our friends, John Davis and Bobby Beaton of The Gruesomes AND Fuad and the Feztones - the latter of which are known to perform this week's song, "Ooh Poo Pah Doo." We focus on four versions:
1. Jessie Hill, Part 1 (2:31) Our guests are experts on New Orleans R&B and what makes Jessie Hill's opening 1960 salvo so important - hint: it's sexual! They poo-poo Erik's talk of voodoo. But if you combine the sexual with the spiritual, then you create a textbook-worthy reading. Ooh!
2. Jessie Hill, Part 2 (42:39) Why was this mostly-instrumental side the hit version? Poo!
3. Paul Revere & The Raiders (1:09:34) Why aren't these guys in the R&R Hall of Fame? Pah!
4. The Mystics (1:36:32) Weldon and Erik like this 1964 garage version, but John and Bobby think it's poopy. Doo!
