The Central High School Cafeteria Band - First Rhapsody For Knives, Forks And Spoons (1963)

Yesterday I had a great time seeing old friends and making some new ones at a birthday party festival of sorts with all kindsa great bands and cool people. Among those many bands I got to see Jonee Earthquake Band again and they're still awesome. I highly recommend.

But, as you know, today's another day and I'm taking a swooping pivot to some seriously unserious wacky territory with whatever exactly we got going on here. I did a little research and found this was released in 1963. And that's about it. The rest is right there in the band name and the song title.

Apparently there is a part 2 on the flipside but I haven't come across it yet. I will use my imagination and assume it's just as good.

Ok. Time to raid the silverware drawer, hit play and play along.

Cindy & Bert - Der Hund Von Baskerville (1971) Cindy & Bert, a German vocal duo (and married couple) mainly played breezy tunes akin to say, Sonny & Cher. Apparently they were quite successful with a number of pop hits on the German charts through the 70s. This here though - it's a bit of a mind boggle. We have our happy couple covering Sabbath's 1970 hit Paranoid, in the German language, but they changed the lyrics to something concerning Arthur Conan Doyle's crime novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (published 1902) which is a story of Sherlock Holmes investigating an allegedly demonic dog.  What ties together Black Sabbath and Sherlock Holmes? Truly nothing I can think of. For additional confusion we get this performance with Bert and Cindy in front of a spooky foggy castle backdrop. It has a similar look to a Hammer horror film. Bert looks a bit disinterested or perhaps high or perhaps undead. The crowd seemingly has no idea how to dance to this ...
