Musiquizzers – Guess that song: 60’s
An evening pause: It is amazing how many of these short clips (as well as the full songs) are still so familiar and well known, considering its more than a half century since they were first played on the radio. Speaks well to their originality and uniqueness.
But how many of the songs and performers can you guess?
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

Don’t think I’ve ever been consciously aware of “Les Cactus,” but everything else was familiar.
Ditto for me
I missed 7. 2 I got the song wrong in words. 1 I got the wrong song, but the band basically played the same song. The rest, I just had brain farts. Every song was familiar. I never knew the title of Las Cactus, but I’ve heard it, and as soon as it started I said to myself. “No clue.”
Being as old as I am, I got all but one — that “Cactus” item I don’t believe I ever heard. Did it actually make the charts?

->We need a guess-the-Movie quiz!
“Les Cactus,” apparently, if the internet is to be believed, reached #4 on the French singles chart, in 1967.
Pretty sure I never heard it.
One favorite of mine is “Camel Walk” from Southern Culture on the Skids
