NINA HAGEN: Habanera [MERV GRIFFIN + DON RICKLES wishes Lex10 a Happy Birthday!]
Nina Hagen performing "Habanera" from Carmen on Merv Griffin, takes seat next to Don Rickles on the couch. Hagen is extra-strange here, and her topics of discussion include: God,UFOs, politics, animal rights, vivisection, alien sightings, her marriage to 18-year-old Punk, 'Iroquois', and an Acapulco recitation of her anthem, 'Don't Kill The Animals.' She also discusses her upcoming tour with Stiff Records Artist, Lene Lovich, for 1986,as well as wishes Stephen [lex10] the alien a happy birthday--fucking weird shit.
In late 1980, Hagen discovered she was pregnant, broke up with the father-to-be Ferdinand Karmelk, and moved to Los Angeles. Her daughter, Cosma Shiva Hagen, was born in Santa Monica on 17 May 1981. In 1982, Hagen released her first English-language album: NunSexMonkRock, a dissonant mix of punk, funk, reggae, and opera. She then went on a world tour with the No Problem Orchestra.
In 1983, she released the album Angstlos and a minor European tour. By this time, The English version of Angstlos, Fearless, generated two major club hits in America, "Zarah" (a cover of the Zarah Leander (#45 USA) song "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen") and the disco/punk/opera song, "New York New York" (#9 USA). From 1984 to 1985, she dated Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Her 1985 album Nina Hagen In Ekstasy fared less well, but did generate club hits with "Universal Radio" (#39 USA) and a cover of "Spirit In The Sky" and also featured a 1979 recording of her hardcore punk take on Frank Sinatra's My Way, which had been one of her signature live tunes in previous years. Her contract with CBS over, she released the Punk Wedding EP
Mötley Crüe: Bastard (live)
Mötley Crüe live (bastard)
Video sent by asinetteMötley Crüe est un groupe de heavy metal américain formé en 1981 à Los Angeles. On estime qu'ils ont vendu plus de 40 millions d'albums à travers le monde, dont 25 millions aux États Unis. Après avoir quitté le groupe London, le bassiste Nikki Sixx rencontre le batteur Tommy Lee (alors batteur du groupe Suite 19). Ils décident de fonder un groupe, et trouvent par le biais d'une petite annonce le guitariste Mick Mars, qui trouvera le nom « Mötley Crüe » (qui signifie littéralement « Équipe bariolée »). Le groupe cherche alors un chanteur, et lorgne sur un ami de lycée de Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, mais ce dernier refuse de quitter son groupe Rockandy, jusqu'à ce que celui-ci se sépare. Les membres de Mötley Crüe décident de le recontacter, et Vince Neil accepte alors de passer l'audition et d'intégrer le groupe. Le groupe se fait vite une réputation à travers les clubs de Los Angeles, et s'entoure du manager Allan Coffman. Ils sortent un premier album sur leur propre label Leathür Records, fraîchement créé, dès novembre 1981 : Too Fast for Love, qui se vend à 20 000 exemplaires.
Un an plus tard, le groupe désigne Doc McGhee et Doug Thaler en tant que managers et signe chez Elektra Records, qui ressort Too Fast for Love, en version remixée. Le groupe, dont les années 1980 seront synonymes de gloire, va marquer les esprits non seulement par sa musique, mais également par son attitude provocante : avec leur style vestimentaire, mais également par une consommation importante de drogue et d'alcool.
Russell Arms: Many Times [Your Hit Parade: 1953]
What a show Your Hit Parade was! From the live broadcast of October 17, 1953, Russell Arms sings Eddie Fisher's hit Many Times. Russell was only one member of A stellar cast that included Gisele MacKenzie, Dorothy Collins, Snooky Lanson, Raymond Scott and Ray Charles' Hit Parade Singers.
The announcer was..Andre Barouche
Yes, Andre was on every Hit Parade show, with the exception of a few. I have one video where he isn't annoucing and it seems odd not to hear him. Andre appeared on Hit Parade tributes in later years with the show's stars like Gisele MacKenzie!
Crosley Electronics {"See it on a Crosley"} was the "alternate sponsor" of the series with American Tobacco's "Lucky Strike" during this period...
"YOUR HIT PARADE" was on Saturday nights at 10:30pm(et) on NBC, directly following Sid Caesar's "YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS" from 1950 through 1954...then it was on after "THE GEORGE GOBEL SHOW" from '54 through '57...
