Deckman	banned songs (140* d)	RE: banned songs	11 Jul 13
In 1962, for the six month run of the "Seattle World's Fair", the whole region went nuts with fair fever. Of course the Seattle Space Needle, which was built for the fair, was the highlight of the event. A very popular trio, "The Shaggy Gorillas and One Buffalo Fish", wrote a song titled "The Day The Needle Fell." It was an instant hit and was played for three weeks solid on all the Seattle area radio stations. Suddenly, it was never heard ANYWHERE again ... overnight. It had been banned by the major powers to be that ran the World's Fair because it might give folks the impression that the Needle could actually fall. Maggie Savage, a member of the group, gave me a copy of the record recently. btw ... the Needle is still standing ... bob(deckman)Nelson
