I originally posted this track a couple years ago on my now-defunct Newstalgia site. I realize there are a bunch of you out there who are new to this site, never having heard of the old one, so all this is new to you.Īnd even if you’ve been following the old site, this is still a great almost totally unknown track by a band that quick got pigeonholed as a One-Hit Novelty Act.
#Acapulco gold rainy daze tv#
Pop and Cub Handy Lumpy Jacky Mime Cub is watching TV when Pop comes in. Which was a shame, as The Rainy Daze had a lot more to say than merely Acapulco Gold (their big claim to fame). He tells Cub to go play outside, so Cub heads out. Pop wakes up to the sound of thunder and sees its raining outside, he freaks out realizing Cub is outside. He puts on a raincoat, grabs an umbrella and heads out. Tonight it’s the follow-up single, first issued in May of 1967 under the title Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum and later reissued around August as Blood of Oblivion. Rainy Daze Crye Baby On Tap at the taproom, Very pale foggy light-yellow. Despite the title change, it didn’t fare well for the band and the single went almost nowhere. Lots of fresh sharp biting op aromas and flavors. I remember hearing it once when it first came out via my local Top-40 station, and then it was never heard from again. Sadder, this track never wound up on the debut Rainy Daze album and has subsequently never been reissued by anyone even recently (as far as I know). Settle down and let the tranquil energy of Rainy Daze LoFi wash over you and clear your mind. Making matters worse, the original 4-track masters were destroyed in the great fire at Universal City a couple of years ago. So the likelihood of hearing a Stereo version of this track are remote at best.īut with all that in mind, you can’t keep a great song down and this is one of the many overlooked classics that are hidden away on the b-sides of singles, or the dusty tape shelves or the initially poorly received follow-up singles. The song 'Acapulco Gold' by the Rainy Daze was released in 1967 and had just begun its climb on the pop charts when programme directors figured out what it.
It’s all history, it’s all music and it often makes no sense. The group released an album, That Acapulco Gold, and the title song (written by Tim Gilbert and his roommate, John Carter) made it to 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967 1 but was pulled once it was realized it was a pro-marijuana song (see Acapulco Gold ).
