Rockit is resting

Hi Everyone.

Rockit is resting for a while but should be back in February.

But feel free to browse my blog http://wolfiesworld-oz.blogspot.com/
as I'll be posting there quite a bit over the month.

Billy Idol - Jingle Bell Rock

This seems unlikely...



But then I saw this:

"Have yourself a Merry little Christmas" - Twisted Sister.



Wolfie!

More than This

Mum was great, One year she offered to get me an album, but didn't know which one's I liked... so I wrote down five albums... She bought the lot for me.

I'm missing both My parents terribly, but the memories of them were good.







A proper video of this can't be found, so we'll settle for this:


Wolfie!

This week it's one of my favourite comedy songs ever.

I used to play this a lot on my radio show years back, and it would annoy some members of staff, oh dear, I'm such a naughty boy.

It's Mojo Nixon with "Debbie Gibson is Pregnant" [With My Two-Headed Love Child]



Wolfie!

To a lovely Guy

One of My favourites, the end of the song cracks me up :)

Max Headroom - Merry Christmas Santa Claus.

I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

This song was said to be a fund raiser for the Oklahoma zoo who wanted a hippo of their own for Christmas, When this song by Gayla Peevy [ten at the time] soared up the charts worldwide in 1953, The zoo got it's Hippo.

However anoter story goes that in 2007, in a radio interview with Gayla.
"Peevey clarified that the song was not originally recorded as a fundraiser. Instead, a local promoter picked up on the popularity of the song and Peevey's local roots, and launched a campaign to present her with an actual hippopotamus on Christmas." (Wikipedia)

The campaign succeeded, and she was presented with an actual hippopotamus, which she donated to the city zoo.

The Hippo was named Matilda, and lived for fifty years.



The B-side of the record was equally charming, Here's Gayla Peevy again, with "Are my ear's on straight"



Have a lovely Christmas everyone!

Wolfie!

Being nice to everyone
