Can I Dance With You?

So really the only part of The Trogg's With a Girl Like You that's stuck in my head is the "Ba ba ba ba baaa, ba ba ba ba" part, but this would be a pretty dull post if that was all I wrote. Not that my earworm randomness is all that riveting, but still. So, here's what I learned today about these guys. First of, they really like the F bomb. Second, they provided inspiration for one of the scenes in This Is Spinal Tap with their accidental recording of the infamous Troggs Tapes. And lastly, they really, REALLY like the F bomb. So the Troggs Tapes (if you're like me and didn't know because you weren't yet conceived at the time of their making) consist of 11 and a half minutes of the dudes in the band yelling obscenities at each other in the recording studio without realizing that they were in fact recording every word. And if you listen to it while thinking of Nigel Tufnel ("Well, it's one louder, isn't it?") and David St. Hubbins ("He was the patron saint of quality footwear,") you will probably laugh yourself out of your chair.

Oh, and one more thing. Reg Presley (The Troggs' lusty vocalist) wrote a book in 2004 called Wild Things They Don't Tell Us. It explores Presley's unwaivering passion for and committed research on...UFOs and cropcircles. Yep. So. There's that too.
