EV73 (S3E13) Come on Down to My Boat, Baby

A celebration of the brief super-stardom of the four-hit wonder, Every Mother's Son! Is the Theme from H.R. Pufnstuf "already been chewed" gum? A tribute to the great Lee Pockriss, the best songwriter you've never heard of! A dramatic profile of Lidsville and Munsters star, Butch Patrick, from a 1972 guide to the "pop scene"! And which version of the forgotten classic, I.O.I.O., do you like better- the Bee Gees' or  Butch Patrick's? Two versions of I'm a Believer, the good and the strange! And plenty of great bubblegum music from Bo Gentry and Richie Cordell, The Monkees, Ohio Express, Two Dollar Question (with Ron Dante), The Cufflinks (with Ron Dante), the Living Strings, Pilot, Andy and David Williams, The Troggs and Andy Kim!
