National LampoonRadio Dinner(Cassette - MCA, 1972) ** National LampoonGoodbye Pop(Vinyl - Epic, 1975) ***
Genre: Comedy Places I remember: Marbeck's (stickers intact) Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles:Southern California Brings Me Down
Gear costume:Kung Fu Christmas, Art Rock Suite, Those Fabulous Sixties (from Radio Dinner)
Active compensatory factors: National Lampoon is an American spoof outfit that is kinda working the same adsurb side of the street as Monty Python at times. Goodbye Pop is the more long lasting listen - featuring Bill Murray and other Lampoon stalwarts, it has some cool musical spoofs of musicians like Neil Young and genres like prog rock. Radio Dinner is worth a listen for the Beatles spoofs, and a dynamite Lennon parody, but it's mainly spoken word stuff that is rooted in the sixties/ early seventies, so it's quite dated in comparison. Where do they all belong? File alongside Monty Python, Robin Williams and Cheech and Chong.
Ray Parker Jnr and Raydio A Woman Needs Love (Just Like You Do)/ So Into You (Arista, ATA 592, 1981) Ray Parker Jnr Ghostbusters/ Ghostbusters (Instrumental) (Arista, K 9454, 1984) Ray Parker Jnr Ghostbusters (Extended version)/ Ghostbusters (Dub version), Ghostbusters (Short version) (Arista 12", MX 62905, 1984) Ubiquitous. It means 'omnipresent, ever-present, present everywhere,all-pervasive, universal, worldwide, global'. In 1984 Ray Parker Jnr hit ubiquity city with the theme to the movie Ghostbusters. It helped that the film was cool (Bill Murray IS Mr Cool) and popular. It helped that MTV, introduced three years earlier, was becoming a force. It helped that he was a fine looking dude. It helped that the song rocked its socks off. The song just oozes appeal - the memorable tag lines (I can't hear you, who you gonna call? Bustin' makes me feel good), the crisp 1980's production and that unrelentingly chirpy Ghostbuster beat. Hidden gem: B side is the instrumental version - I prefer the A side with Mr Parker Jnr.
