Distinct similarities

Listen to this golden oldie from 1965. Better than that, you should check out the video from the Ed Sullivan Show, below, which includes the insane dance they were doing for the song.



As I said, insane. There's another clip on YouTube from the TV show Shindig! that's even more bizarre, but you have to watch until about the 2:10 mark to find it.

But that's not the reason for this post. Check out this song by Joe Jackson from Amazon.com's MP3 download site. Seems Mr. Jackson borrowed heavily from Freddie when he wrote "Rush Across the Road". That said, I do like the song.

BTW, I recommend Amazon.com MP3 downloads. Less expensive than buying the CD "hardcopy" and much more instant-gratification-enabled, as well. I also buy albums from Magnatune.com, though chances are you've never heard of any of those artists.

Happy listening!
