BONUS #2 - http://www.rockremembers.com/2010/07/beep-beep-playmates-1958-top-40.html - What's That Song About?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beep_Beep_%28song%29:
| "Beep Beep" is a song by
The Playmates. The song describes a duel between the drivers of a
Cadillac and a
Nash Rambler on the road. The song is an example of accelerando, in which the tempo of the song gradually increases throughout the song. [1] The song was on the Billboard Top 40 charts for twelve weeks, and peaked at #20.[2] It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[3] Concurrently with this song, American Motors (AMC) was setting production and sales records for the Rambler models.[4] Because of a directive by the BBC that songs not include brand names in their lyrics, a version of "Beep Beep" was recorded for the European market replacing the Cadillac and Nash Rambler with the generic terms limousine and bubble car. |
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Playmates:
| The Playmates were a late 1950s
vocal group, led by the
pianist
Chic Hetti (born Carl Cicchetti, 26 February 1930),
drummer;
Donny Conn (born Donald Claps, 29 March 1930); and
Morey Carr (born 31 July 1932), all from
Waterbury,
Connecticut. The Playmates Donald Claps aka Donny Conn drummer and lyricist Carl Cicchetti aka Chic Hetti pianist music composer and Morey Cohen aka Morey Carr lead vocalist were an instrumental and vocal trio all from Waterbury Connecticut and in the early-1950s at the University of Connecticut, After graduation began touring The USA and Canada small lounges and night clubs in 1952 originally as the "Nitwits" later as the Playmates. Signed to Roulette Records in 1958 as the label's first vocal group[1],Anticapting a Calypso craze the group recorded an album called Playmates Visit the West Indies. They then released two notable top 40 singles — "Jo-Ann" and "Don't Go Home" — before having a surprise #4 hit (July 9, 1958) with the tempo-changing novelty record "Beep, Beep"[2] - which became a regular spin for Dr. Demento. The "Beep, Beep" song was on the Billboard Top 40 chart for twelve weeks. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.[3] Concurrently with this song, American Motors (AMC) was setting production and sales records for the Rambler models.[4] Because of a directive by the BBC that songs do not include brand names in its lyrics, a version of "Beep Beep" was recorded for the European market replacing the Cadillac and Nash Rambler with the generic terms limousine and bubble car. They followed up with a chart listing single in 1959 with "What Is Love" and then again in 1960 with "Wait For Me".[5] After four albums for Roulette, the novelty group — which was known for its between-song comedy and banter as much for its repertoire — broke up in 1965. |

- "Hurricane Matthew":
From http://abc11.com/weather/hurricane-matthews-latest-path-away-from-nc---for-now/1535987/:
| RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) --Hurricane Matthew is making its
way toward the U.S., but the latest forecast track shows the monster
storm continuing to veer away from central North Carolina.
The 5 a.m. advisory from the National Hurricane Center shows Matthew continuing to push it into Florida and curve it south near our coast. Highest sustained winds increased to 125 mph Thursday morning as
Matthew continues moving to the northwest, and could deal a devastating
blow to parts of the east coast of Florida as a possible Category 4
storm by Thursday into Friday. The hurricane will continue to head north, then northeast, but is
still forecast to head east before reaching the North Carolina coast. If
this track verifies, our south coast will receive heavy rain, and a
storm surge of up to 5 feet, but not the devastating winds they will see
in Florida, according to ABC11 Meteorologist Don "Big Weather"
Schwenneker.

ooh
lovely. The hurricane coming our way is actually death. Good times.

A high-school student
came home from school seeming rather depressed.
“What’s the matter son?” asked his mother.
“Aw, gee,” said the boy, “it’s my marks. They’re all wet.”
“What do you mean, 'all wet'?” she asks.
“I mean,” he replied, “well below C-level.”
