Supertramp.

OK, girls and boys, back to the 70s: This seminal prog-rock and pop band started out in 1970 London as Daddy. They quickly became Daddy Longlegs before settling on their eventual name, inspired by a 1908 book by Welsh author William Henry Davies. Princess Diana was a huge fan and was quoted as saying that they were her favorite group. Singers/songwriters Roger Hodgson (guitar and vocals) and Rick Davies (keyboards, harmonica and vocals) were founding members, along with master saxophonist John Anthony Helliwell. Their sixth studio album, "Breakfast in America" (1979), by far their biggest-selling one, won two Grammys, went 4X Platinum, reached #1 for six weeks and won the Ivor Novello Award. It contained the lion's share of their charting hits, even though they never had a #1 single. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of internal turmoil within the group because of royalties and they have been "dormant" since 2012. ...AND they're still NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (don't get me started!)! Group? Answer: Supertramp. One of those many acts that I completely missed when they were at the peak of their popularity, as I was in the process of becomong a physician (Queen was another one!). The group's name came from the book "Autobiography of a Super-Tramp". Now, talking 'bout a hit-packed album - "The Logical Song" (#6), "Take the Long Way Home" (#10), "Goodbye Stranger" (#15) and "Give a Little Bit" (#15)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kln_bIndDJg&list=RDkln_bIndDJg&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZUE4_PtOk0&list=RDkln_bIndDJg&index=2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B885n08hOmw&list=RDB885n08hOmw&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Pts0jqX-yY&list=RD_Pts0jqX-yY&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aykOwwRf-Q&list=RD9aykOwwRf-Q&start_radio=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzuX-gm67GM&list=RDyzuX-gm67GM&start_radio=1

"All I Want Is You" ("The Little Farmer") from the Lay's 2025 Super Bowl commercial. (Posted on FB 6/24/25).

OK, girls and boys, coming at ya from farm (hint, hint!) country: Children's music singer/songwriter Barry Louis Polisar composed and first recorded this catchy, lilting 1977 tune. Featured in the opening credits of the 2007 film "Juno". It was "rediscovered" and recorded under a new title by Caroline Says, becoming the background music for a 2025 Lay's Potato Chips Super Bowl commercial that captured the hearts of the nation and placed the spotlight on agriculture. Speaks of the deep-rooted traditions and noble hard work of the American farming family. Inspired by real-life 5th generation Wisconsin potato farmer Jeremie Pavelski and his kin, especially his 7-year-old daughter. Killer acoustic guitar work on the commercial evocative of the late-great John Prine's trademark fingerstyle picking. Original song? Lay's commercial version? Answer: "All I Want Is You" by Barry Louis Polisar. "The Little Farmer" by Caroline Say...

"Where Do You Work A-John?" aka "The Delaware-Lackawan Song".

OK, boys and girls, back to the 20s (a toughie!): This classic "Italian"-American novelty song was written in 1926 by Harry Warren (Salvatore Anthony Guaragna), "Hollywood's Unknown Composer", with lyrics by M. Weinberg/C. Marks/E. Krickett/E. Stamper. Minor hit in '58 for Lou Monte. Featured in Betty Boop's "Mask-A-Raid" in '31 and in John Wayne's "Fighting Seabees". Song? Alternate title? Answer: "Where Do You Work A-John?" aka "The Delaware-Lackawan Song". This song was a staple at the "notorious" Phi Chi Medical Fraternity Wednesday night parties in Philly in the early 70s along with "Roller Derby Queen", "Born to Run", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and, of course, the one about the Fugawi Tribe ("The Wild West Show"). How the heck did we do that and make it to lecture the following morning?! YOUTH!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLgqKm8NC2o...
