Count Me In - Gary Lewis & The Playboys

NOTE: Was looking for an old post and saw this one and thought I'd like to listen to it tonight, but saw the original video was now private. I found another and here it is. Originally posted 8/24/07

Wrap it Up - The Fabulous Thunderbirds

Note: I heard part of this tune used as "bumper music" in a radio show I was listening to and couldn't remember if I had posted this video before - I had, back in May '08, but the vid had been taken down, so here it is again!

Go All the Way - The Raspberries

Note:  saw the original video (posted here on 11/5/08) had been taken down, so I'm putting this one in its place. 

This was a fairly controversial tune when it was released. From WikiBecause of its sexually suggestive lyrics, considered risqué for the day, the song was banned by the BBC. (as well as by some radio stations in the U.S., as I recall) The repeat of the words "come on", in the bridge or middle section, is loosely based on the "come on"s that The Beatles did in "Please Please Me" (another sexually suggestive song).

dyad



dyad dy·ad [dahy-ad] noun

1. a group of two; couple; pair

2. Biology:
a. a secondary morphological unit, consisting of two monads: a chromosome dyad
b. the double chromosomes resulting from the separation of the four chromatids of a tetrad

3. Chemistry:  an element, atom, or group having a valence of two.

4. Mathematics:  two vectors with no symbol connecting them, usually considered as an operator

5. Sociology:
a. two persons involved in an ongoing relationship or interaction
b. the relationship or interaction itself


I knew this word, even though it's not part of my every day vocabulary. I had to take an Interpersonal Communication class when I went back to school and I sat down at the first class thinking it was going to be a waste of time, but I changed my mind. I learned a dyad is, as the #5 definition says, the basic form of communication, being between two people.

I think the most important thing I learned about was how people play games and how nearly all of them are dishonest in nature. I wound up enjoying the class and learning a lot about communicating with others and even more about myself. The worst part was when we studied those games, this tune was in my head for a week.
