Casey Kasem's American Top 40 - The 70s

[Channel98]

Here is a story that I can't assume everybody already knows – and you all know I'm not the assumer I used to be. In L.A. Woman, Jim Morrison sings "Mr. Mojo risin'." The words are an anagram of his name. He didn't reveal that to his bandmates until after they'd finished recording the song,

How the Doors Discovered the Meaning of ‘Mr. Mojo Risin’

John Densmore recalled in June 2020 that the phrase Mr. Mojo Risin had already inspired L.A. Woman before Jim Morrison told the Doors it was an anagram.

True. Kinda like HecticArt.

True. Kinda like HecticArt.

It was coincidental, not influential.

I like the Doors in the right time, right place, and moderate doses.

 

[sadchild]

Kraftwerk was like the MS-DOS of music

True! But they were and are still considered pioneers of EDM. ELP, Yes and Doors were pioneering keyboards in a different direction.

And I agree my hate for The Doors blurs my vision.

Fair enough!

 

[Channel98]

True. Kinda like HecticArt.

The letters in HecticArt can be anagrammed to spell "ratchet it." Hah! And I bet you guys thought I couldn't figure it out!

Not quite runner-ups, but from the list the website kicked out.

Great Googly Moogly. . . . And the hits just keep coming!

OK.

Hadn't heard "Green Eyed Lady" song in a while. I like that one.

 

[Channel98]

The "green eyed lady" was Kathy, the girlfriend of Sugarloaf lead singer/keyboardist Jerry Corbetta, who co-wrote the song with David Riordan and J.C. Phillips. On August 4, 1978, Corbetta released a solo album, cleverly titled Jerry Corbetta. It included a remake of Green Eyed Lady. Here is a live performance by Corbetta & The Classic Rock All Stars from 2013. (The person who posted the video got their name wrong!) The group included former Rare Earth drummer/vocalist Peter Rivera and former Iron Butterfly guitarist/vocalist Mike Pinera. Corbetta died in 2016.
