Poldo's Music Trivia II

OK, boys and girls, back to the 30s: This classic 1935 "arrabalero" tango was penned by its singer with lyrics by Alfredo Le Pera. A compulsive gambler compares his penchant for horse-racing with his attraction to women. The melody is based on Mozart's Rondo in C Major for Violin and Orcherstra K. 373. Al Pacino danced to it on "Scent of a Woman" and Schwarzenegger in "True Lies". Answer: "Por Una Cabeza" by Carlos Gardel. The tango scene in "Scent of a Woman", when Pacino dances with Gabrielle Anwar, is one of my favorite movie clips ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2zTd_YwTvo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ1aTPM-dyE&list=RDSJ1aTPM-dyE&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPlv1QKiUwg

OK, girls and boys, more 60s one-hit wonders: This instrumental band's only hit peaked at #3 in February of 1966. It was "lifted" off a popular Alka-Seltzer commercial. In the 70s, the band "evolved" into Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds (as in "Don't Pull Your Love" and "Fallin' In Love"). Hit? Group? Answer: "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)" by The T-Bones. The Ventures also did a wonderful cover version (dang, those Mosrites sound so sweet!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfdL62ss-vQ&list=RDxfdL62ss-vQ&start_radio=1

OK, boys and girls, back to the 70s: John Paul Jones set out to write "a song that people couldn't 'groove' or dance to". Inspired by Muddy Waters' "Electric Mud" and by the call-and-response between the singer and the band in Fleetwood Mac's "Oh, Well" ('69) this heavy-metal classic peaked at #15 in '71 and is #294 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All time. The title comes from a Labrador Retriever roaming around the recording studio and has nothing to do with the rest of the song. Jimmy Page's guitar work consists of 4 overdubbed Gibson Les Paul tracks. The high A towards the end is Robert Plant's highest note ever recorded (ouch!). Song? Group? Answer: "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin. In my book, Zeppelin DEFINES Heavy Metal - that's where the genre was born and ended - no other metal act can touch them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tlSx0jkuLM&list=RD6tlSx0jkuLM&start_radio=1
