Elton and Betty White

As promised, here are my final 25 cuts by the unforgettable Elton and Betty White.  I think that due to the shortness of their songs, one needs to hear rather a lot of them to gain a better feel for what they did. I suppose I should describe their music to those who haven't heard it, I keep assuming that WFMU reader/listeners know about them; the best and most I could say is that they sing straight from the heart about some earthy, patently human things, and what they may lack in skill as poets and players disappears under the weight of their charm. I didn't even expect to be doing Elton and Betty as my first couple of regular posts here on BOTB, but fate seemed to push them into this spot, in several ways.
By the way- I'm tickled to be here.

The second tidal wave of E & B hits after the break.

So many songs, so many happy memories of hearing and singing them with friends. Delightfully accessible, and yet not music for everyone. I enjoy the little moments in the performance where they aren't singing: Betty cracking up slightly when delivering the name of her song Jack-Off Time, Elton talking about his sombrero or bragging on the power of their music. I won't argue with Elton- I was an immediate fan like so many others. I will admit to being puzzled recently when trying to figure out what the heck key he was playing in on a particular song. I think it must be in the patented 'White' tuning.

On the technical side of this week's tracks, I need only point out that Betty's song I'd Rather Not Have Oral Sex was the unlucky tune on the original cassette that was bridging the first and second sides of the tape. In other words it has a split second missing in the middle of the song. Ugh! And such a fantastic piece, too. Let's hope we see a real release of that one someday!

By the way, I think that Betty's You're So Sexy To Me is one of the sweetest and most romantic mini-ballads I've ever heard. It's still touching to me in it's intensity after all of these years of hearing it.

Oh, and again I'll add the disclaimer that these MP3s are probably NOT work-friendly, nor good for babysitting.

Here are links for some crude cover art (by me), and a full tracklist for all 46 cuts.

Note: the track numbering of the MP3s this week picks up where we left off last time, with cut number 22.
