Giorgio and the Morodians

Bla-Bla-Diddly

I first heard this one maybe 15 years ago and it always kinda stuck with me in the back of my head. At the time I was not aware of the fact that it was seemingly the second single released by Giorgio Moroder, who'd later become world renowned for his work on Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and that one spoken word track on Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories."

In some weird alternate universe, it feels like this song could just as easily be written by the Monks. Especially the "In this crazy world today..." change...that sounds STRAIGHT out of Gary Burger's mouth. I mean shit, Germany 1966 did EVERYTHING have these touchstones? We may never know, or I may just be too lazy to explore much further.

This record is an earworm to the nth degree so do proceed with caution. Excitingly, it's also wicked cheap to pick up a copy. Also, this particular picture sleeve is kinda punk...the ripped paper esthetic seeming quite forward thinking for '66. And straight into my DJ box it goes.
