Ray Stevens - Shriner’s Convention (1980)
9th June
“Shriner’s Convention” is a novelty song written by Ray Stevens.
It is allegedly based on his experiences at a hotel where an actual Shriners convention was being held. It is reported that some real-life Shriners groups are not fond of this song, as it appears to portray Shriners in a poor light; however, many other Shriners have taken the song for the harmless piece of humor that it is, and have even welcomed Stevens’ participation in fundraising activities, as Stevens’ fame attracts attendees to charity events, and Stevens’ presence indicates that Shriners have a sense of humor about themselves, making the group seem more accessible.
The backdrop of the song is the “43rd Annual Convention of the Grand Mystic Royal Order of the Nobles of the Ali Baba Temple of the Shrine”.
The main humor of the song involves a one-sided dialogue, via hotel phone, between two members of the Hahira, Georgia, delegation: leader “Illustrious Potentate” (Bubba), and member “Noble Lumpkin” (Coy). Stevens voices Bubba, while Coy’s voice is unheard, his comments made known only by Bubba’s reactions to them.
Bubba (a strait-laced individual) becomes increasingly upset with Coy’s sophomoric actions during the convention. Despite the fact that the Shriners are supposed to be, as Bubba puts it, “pillars of the community”, Coy has managed to pull off such hijinks as getting his Harley-Davidson motorcycle into his hotel room and on the high diving board of the hotel swimming pool, hanging out in the pool at midnight with the cocktail lounge waitresses, and (despite being purportedly married to a “Charlene”, who apparently did not accompany Coy to the convention) having one of his girlfriends streaking through their banquet yelling out the “secret code”, wearing nothing but Coy’s fez (which Coy tried to deny, only to be reminded that he was the only member whose fez had “a propeller on top”).
Eventually, after repeated attempts to warn Coy about his behavior, Bubba tosses Coy out of the delegation, which has no effect on Coy, who simply revs up his Harley and disconnects the call, after mentioning that he might join the Hells Angels instead. Single by Ray Stevens from the album Shriner’s Convention.

Mad Yank on a Monowheel
20th May
THE concept of a single wheeled motorcycle is one which has intrigued designers through the ages. Various people have experimented with the format but the idea has never really caught on, partly because the single wheeled layout is inherently unstable without significant design and development, and the end result has never really been enough to justify the time and resources required to make it work. So the monocycle, or monowheel, has remained a novelty on the sidelines of motorcycle development history. Until Kerry McLean came along, that is.

TOM & JERRY-((aka-SIMON & GERFUNKEL)) 1962- SURRENDER,PLEASE SURRENDER
15th May
Late 1959 marked Artie Garr’s (aka Art Garfunkel’s) first release for Warwick Records, a doo-wopish ballad with the mysterious title “Beat Love”. Jerry Landis also had records out on Warwick in 1960 and 1961 which were more or less boring ballads. In the summer of 1961 Paul got to know a few local singers named Crew-Cuts (not the Canadian pop group), which were just founded by a guy named Mickey Borack to win a local talent contest at Parson’s Junior Highschool. Together with Marty Cooper and Gail Lynn they performed the first time at the Forest Hill Jewish Center. By accident Paul Simon was in the audience and they asked him to sing lead with them on “I’ve Told Every Little Star”. This led to a partnership which resulted in a record for Canadian American in October. Both tracks were strong doo-wop ballads. “I Wish I Weren’t In Love” featured the whole group, who later became known as Tico & The Triumphs”. The long was originally intended as the flipside of their first Madison release.
Together with Howie Beck the group recorded two songs for Madison Records where Paul was also responsible for production, arrangement and writing. They named themselves Tico & The Triumphs”, but after their release of “Motorcycle” Madison went bankrupt. Amy Records picked up the masters and in November 1961 their record got a little push towards the charts with the help of WINS radio, N.Y. and Murray The K’s show, where the record just lost the weekly contest against Boris Pickett’s “Monster Mash”. In January 1962 “Motorcycle” entered the Billboard Top 100 at position 99 for just one week, but the song became the number one in Puerto Rico and Baltimore. About 100.000 copies should have been sold of the Amy release. The group performed live with DJ Buddy Dean’s show in Maryland on a Chistmas concert with The Drifters in Camden, New Jersey, a TV-show in Rhode Island with Brian Hyland plus The Marcels and a concert in Detroit with Del Shannon.
Their next two releases on Amy flopped, but that was no surprise, because both missed the originality of “Motorcycle”. Only “Cry, Little Boy, Cry”, again a doo-wop effort, won Murray the K’s weekly contest. This forced Paul Simon to release another record under the pseudonym Jerry Landis, now with more luck. “The Lone Teen Ranger”, put out at the end of 1962, was again a novelty title with references towards the TV series “The Lone Ranger”. The flipside “Lisa”, used the same instrumental track as “I Don’t Believe Them” (on the backside of “Motorcycle”). “The Lone Teen Ranger” reached number 97 on the Billboard charts in January and stayed there for three weeks……I DO LOVE DOOWOP AND RARE DOOWOP .50′S.60′S & Golden Oldies SOUND.!!
