Brazos John Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 A quick search of the all-knowing OZernet said The Marvelettes released it. Too much other internet gibberish to get anything else relevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing a tapping sound he becomes scared and quickens his pace. The tapping gets louder and Jack is now scared out of his wits. Then he notices a man chiseling a tombstone. "Thank goodness!"

You can call me up and have a date, any old time. Written by Marvin Gaye, William "Mickey" Stevenson and George Gordy, the lyrics are about the narrator wanting a man she just met to call her number in order to "have a date, any ol' time." Like all the Marvelette's singles during the first phase of the group's career, the lead vocal was by Gladys Horton. The song's co-writer Marvin Gaye played drums on the track, which William Stevenson produced. The song's title is derived from the now defunct use of telephone exchange names in telephone numbers. In this case, the significant portions of the exchange name were the first two letters of "Beechwood" (BE), and the remainder of the number. In conventional modern use, this telephone number would be 234-5789. "Beechwood 4-5789" has become a signature hit of Motown's early period but was not one of the label's biggest hits, reaching #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the autumn of 1962. The track did reach the R&B Top Ten where in fact the single enjoyed double A-side status with "Beechwood 4-5789" reaching #7 and the flip "Someday, Someway"; the latter track was a ballad from the writing-&-production team of Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier and Fred Gorman and featured Berry Gordy Jr's wife Raynoma Liles as organist. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I don't know why Captain America would have the Marvelettes as backup singers. I've never heard of Professor Marvel. Professor Xavier - Professor X of the X-Men - him I've heard of. But again, I don't know why he would have the Marvelettes as the backup singers. Now Gomer Pyle's favorite superhero - Sha-ZAAM! - Captain Marvel He might have the Marvelettes backing him up. By the way - when I went looking for a picture of Captain Marvel, all I could find was pictures of women. Has he gone trans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 A man goes before Saint Peter….. Saint Peter asks ‘Where were you born?’ The man thinks for a moment and says ‘Austria-Hungary, Lemberg.’ ‘Where did you go to school?’ ‘Poland, Lwow.’ ‘Where were you married?’ ‘The Ukrainian S.S.R., Lviv.’ Surprised, Saint Peter asks ‘Where was your first child born?’ 'In the German Reich.’ 'And where did you die?’ 'At home in Lvov, in the Soviet Union.’ Astonished, Saint Peter shouts 'My, you moved around a lot!’ 'What are you talking about? I never left the city!’ 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. The plane had a layover in Sacramento. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in one hour. Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. Another man had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the gentleman was blind because his Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for an hour, would you like to get off and stretch your legs? " The blind man replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs." Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines! True story....Have a great day and remember... Things aren't always as they appear 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, that happened within about two years of it's release. I'm surprised that there is anyone over the age of 45 or 50 that doesn't fill in the rest in their head on hearing "867-". Never heard of the band or the tune. LL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
