The Mad Musical World of Mel Henke - La Dolce Henke (1962)

In 1952, Mel Henke was a commercial industry composer and songwriter who came up with this sweet little jingle for Chevrolet:

Ten years later, the "swingin' 60's" were in full effect when Mel released a very swingin' (in more ways than one) album called La Dolce Henke. Here, he gathered plenty of his friends from the world of commercial jingles - musicians, voice actors, singers, Foley artists - and composed a poppy Cocktail Jazz album full of innuendo, naughty winks and nudges, wacky sound effects, and plenty of moaning ladies.

This is the album that Austin Powers would have recorded if he were a musician/real person. 

ENJOY.

Wizard Radio setlist 4/19/09

This morning i was short on time and only grabbed a few records out of my own collection, so had to use mostly stuff from the station's collection, leading to one of my most "freeform" and strange sets yet. I liked a lot of it though, and actually was able to record it from home via my realplayer...

BUT I still don't have an mp3 for yall.. turns out Realplayer records on a specific fileformat (IVR) which currently is completely un-convertable... so until someone invents a software to convert this format, i have nothin to show yall... its such a pain in the ass.. but i'll have to figure somethin out eventually. anyhow heres the setlist regardless:

Barry White - "Let Me In & Let's Begin With Love" (love this joint)
Nouveaux Nation - "Party Time Lovers"
Prefuse 73 - "Dubs That Don't Match"
Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - "Betcha By Golly, Wow"
Dam-Funk - "Black"
Enon - "Hocus Pocus"
Little Junior Parker - "Next Time You See Me"
Miriam Makeba - "House Of The Rising Sun"
Pansy Division - "Alpine Skiing"
Lou Rawls - "Gee Baby, Aint I Good To You"
The Stylistics - "Pay Back Is A Dog"
Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - "Lost In The B-Zone"
