Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: campfire Date: 14 Mar 01 - 07:10 PM Geez, my sisters had this album when I was a pre-teen! All I remember is:
It's Goog news Week I'll have to do some searching, now that you've piqued my memory... campfire |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: campfire Date: 14 Mar 01 - 07:31 PM There is a mp3 here:
but I can't get it to play past the first few lines.
It starts as I remembered above, then:
Someone's found a way to give
then my computer says it can't find the file and it cuts out.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 14 Mar 01 - 08:07 PM Thanks again, Campfire, but I already have the song on CD, and I've got the first two verses and the bridge figured out. The thing that's really got me stumped is the first line of the third verse, which sounds like "Farrah's taped her knees to coal", although I somehow doubt that's the line...Appreciate your sourcing out the mp3, though...

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 14 Mar 01 - 10:32 PM It conjures up quite a picture, YES. Although I liked Jaclyn Smith more. Which has nothing to do with any of this... |

It's Good News Week
It's Good News Week Hedgehoppers Anonymous were really five boys on active duty in the Royal Air Force, masterminded by mid-sixties pop mini-mogul Jonathan King (who sang "Everyone's Gone to the Moon"). The lads, originally The Trendsetters, were spotted by King at the Bedford R.A.F. and reformed as the Hedgehoppers (an obscure air force slang), with King's amendment to their name in the form of "Anonymous." At one point, in fact, it was assumed that they were just Jonathan King in funny suits. King wrote this one hit, and it enjoyed a few weeks on the charts before the group collapsed into obscurity

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 14 Mar 01 - 11:53 PM Erm...no, that's not quite it. I knew about Hedgehoppers Anonymous' history, since one of my, um, shall we say "vices" has been a fondness for all that British Invasion stuff from the 60s. And that's what makes this lyrics quest all the more frustrating. I mean I SHOULD KNOW THIS!! I've spent (I'm not kidding) HOURS on the internet looking for the words to this one song, and I haven't turned up anything yet. It's funny, because it was such a huge hit in England in 1965. Oh, I've found pictures of Hedgehoppers Anonymous, their names, and I think I even found their birthdays listed somewhere. The lead singer appeared on the British soap opera Coronation Street for a while. But do you think I can find that one silly line in the third verse? Anyway, I'm ranting, albeit with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Thank you Amos for pitching in, we'll solve this mystery yet!! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Mar 01 - 12:19 AM OK, Timothy, it's not your fault I didn't find this till bedtime, but man! Now I got a similar melody all stuck in my head-- It's a Turn Down Day! And I don't even know how I know that song, or what IT'S words are! Could Farrah's Taped = Third Estate? First Estate? Farrah's taped her knees to coal... Third estater needs to call... Fair estate... Real estate... Fear escaped her... ????? What are the other words in the crazy verse? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 12:53 AM I don't know a song called It's A Turn Down Day, but if you need the lyrics, I know a few dozen places not to look...Okay, here's what I do have for I'ts Good News Week: It's good news week, Someone's dropped a bomb somewhere, Contaminating atmosphere And blackening the sky, It's good news week, Someone's found a way to give The rotting dead a will to live, Go on and never die, Have you heard the news? What did it say? Who's won that race? What's the weather like today? It's good news week (Pharohs tape the need for coal...garble-garble) By stimulating birth control, (We're/While) wanting less to eat, It's good news week, Doctors finding many ways, Of (wrapping brains in metal trays?) To keep us from the heat. ...So that's as much as I've deciphered. We're really close...The truth is out there...We're through the looking glass here people...etc... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: Rick Fielding Date: 15 Mar 01 - 01:20 AM Just a quick interruption here...'cause I haven't a clue about "Farrah's rotting underwear...." or whatever the hell the lyric is. I DO know however that Timothy Cameron is one of Canada's best kept musical secrets (he's still young, so that could/should change) and his album "Never Mind The Hyperbolics" (great pun there for some) has been on our "A" list chez Fielding for about three months now. Heather absolutely loves his song "She Dates Creeps"!! Made a great radio guest as well. I think he hangs out at kerplonk here Good luck Tim. My Mudcat friends have come up with some pretty obscure lyrics. Rick

Better go back to the FAQ and look at my instructions again. If the link is not at Mudcat, it must have http:// and the rest of the address. If it IS at Mudcat, then you can leave out about half the address, upt to the end of org. I fixed your link. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 09:54 AM Morning all, I just woke up and connected to Mudcat to see if overnight anybody had added to my lyrics request. Imagine my pleasant surprise to find Rick Fielding's comments. Thanks Rick, your support is greatly appreciated. By the way, for any Mudcats (or is the correct term "Mudcatters"?) that are in the Toronto area, I'm playing tomorrow night (Friday) at Holy Joe's, which is located on the south east corner of Queen and Bathurst, on the second floor. Thanks again to Campfire, Amos and S for their input. I realize this isn't by any means a traditional song, by it's kinda fun, and sort of a protest theme, don't you think? By the way, I don't know why the lyrics I submiited last night came out as one long line. I hit the Enter button after typing each line, and it looked fine before I submitted the message. Any suggestions? Should I hit tab instead? Timothy |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 10:43 AM Martin Ryan you are a wonderful human bean!! Thanks for digging that up. A musician friend of mine said he thought there was something about a sacred cow in the third verse, and there it was in that old thread! Hedgehoppers Anonymous must have recorded two versions of the song though, because the third verse on the version I have DEFINITELY has the line "by stimulating birth control", and that's nowhere to be seen on the thread from '98. Close enough though, the song's only two minutes long, I don't want to make a career out of it. Kinda gives one the willies to think there are TWO "Good News Week"s out there... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Mar 01 - 01:26 PM (Pharohs tape the need for coal...garble-garble) By stimulating birth control, While wanting less to eat. OK, what worldwide problem was going on then that would have been improved by fewer people and each one less hungry? What would have been a bad solution they'd have procalimed as good news in the spirit of the song? And what the &*(&&* IS the Third Estate? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Mar 01 - 01:27 PM And... wouldn't you suspect it might have had 7 verses originally? ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Mar 01 - 01:37 PM It's Good News Week! Far as ... told, By stimulating birth control, While wanting less to eat. Foreign states... Is there a line missing there? And do the verses, taken in order, lead into one another, and so does this verse hook with one before or after it? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 06:09 PM Oh geez, maybe I'll just do "Eve Of Destruction" instead. As far as "Good News Week" having seven verses, if there are two versions of the song, and each version has four verses, then techically that's eight verses, and as we all know, according to British bands of the 60s, there were eight days a week. Of course some of the verses are the same between the two versions, but who among us hasn't had a Wednesday that seemed like a Tuesday?...Sorry about this monster I've created... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Mar 01 - 06:20 PM Oh no ya don't! We gotta solve this! LOL! Come on, take my words and listen one more time.... pleeeeeze.... ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 07:00 PM Okay,~S~, I'm with ya. We're like a couple of Don Quixotes charging away at this windmill, but life is full of silly little distractions, anyway, so why not? I think the first word is "Famine(s)", which would tie in with the bit about "wanting less to eat" at the end of the verse. "Famines strake the need f**k all"..."Famine steak..."...AAAARRRRGGGGG!!! "The eastern world, it is explodin'".... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 15 Mar 01 - 09:12 PM Oh Tim, I'm sorry. My name-- the sound effects and spittle it must take to say ~S~! Please! Call me Susan! Is there a verse for each Plague? This folk process is so folked! ~Susan

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: Amos Date: 15 Mar 01 - 09:44 PM The French revolutionary writer Abbe Sieyes coined the expression "The Third Estate" to describes all those in society who made exchanges and delivery happen. He characterized them thus, around 1780 or so: "What is the Third Estate? [Excerpts] What is necessary that a nation should subsist and prosper? Individual effort and public functions. [Individual Efforts] All individual efforts may be included in for classes: 1. Since the earth and the waters furnish crude products for the needs of man, the first class, in logical sequence, will be that of all families which devote themselves to agricultural labor. 2. Between the first sale of products and their consumption or use, a new manipulation, more or less repeated, adds to these products a second value more or less composite. In this manner human industry succeeds in perfecting the gifts of nature, and the crude product increases two-fold, ten-fold, one hundred-fold in value. Such are the efforts of the second class. 3. Between production and consumption, as well as between the various stages of production, a group of intermediary agents establish themselves, useful both to producers and consumer; these are the merchants and brokers: the brokers who, comparing incessantly the demands of time and place, speculate upon the profit of retention and transportation; merchants who are charged with distribution, in the last analysis, either at wholesale or at retail. This species of utility characterizes the third class. 4. Outside of these three classes of productive and useful citizens, who are occupied with real objects of consumption and use, there is also need in a society of a series of efforts and pains, whose objects are directly useful or agreeable to the individual. This fourth class embraces all those who stand between the most distinguished and liberal professions and the less esteemed services of domestics. Such are the efforts which sustain society. Who puts them forth? The Third Estate. [Public Functions] Public functions may be classified equally well, in the present state of affairs, under four recognized heads; the sword, the robe, the church and the administration. It would be superfluous to take them up one by one, for the purpose of showing that everywhere the Third Estate attends to nineteen-twentieths of them, with this distinction; that it is laden with all that which is really painful, with all the burdens which the privileged classes refuse to carry. Do we give the Third Estate credit for this? That this might come about, it would be necessary that the Third Estate should refuse to fill these places, or that it should be less ready to exercise their functions. The facts are well known. Meanwhile they have dared to impose a prohibition upon the order of the Third Estate. They have said to it: "Whatever may be your services, whatever may be your abilities, you shall go thus far; you may not pass beyond!" Certain rare exceptions, properly regarded, are but a mockery, and the terms which are indulged in on such occasions, one insult the more. If this exclusion is a social crime against the Third Estate; if it is a veritable act of hostility, could it perhaps be said that it is useful to the public weal? Alas! who is ignorant of the effects of monopoly? If it discourages those whom it rejects, is it not well known that it tends to render less able those whom it favors? Is it not understood that every employment from which free competition is removed, becomes dear and less effective? In setting aside any function whatsoever to serve as an appanage for a distinct class among citizens, is it not to be observed that it is no longer the man alone who does the work that it is necessary to reward, but all the unemployed members of that same caste, and also the entire families of those whoa re employed as well as those who are not? Its it not to be remarked that since the government has become the patrimony of a particular class, it has been distended beyond all measure; places have been created not on account of the necessities of the governed, but in the interests of the governing, etc., etc.? Has not attention been called to the fact that this order of things, which is basely and--I even presume to say--beastly respectable with us, when we find it in reading the History of Ancient Egypt or the accounts of Voyages to the Indies, is despicable, monstrous, destructive of all industry, the enemy of social progress; above all degrading to the human race in general, and particularly intolerable to Europeans, etc., etc? But I must leave these considerations, which, if they increase the importance of the subject and throw light upon it, perhaps, along with the new light, slacken our progress. It suffices here to have made it clear that the pretended utility of a privileged order for the public service is nothing more than a chimera; that with it all that which is burdensome in this service is performed by the Third Estate; that without it the superior places would be infinitely better filled; that they naturally ought to be the lot and the recompense of ability and recognized services, and that if privileged persons have come to usurp all the lucrative and honorable posts, it is a hateful injustice to the rank and file of citizens and at the same a treason to the public. Who then shall dare to say that the Third Estate has not within itself all that is necessary for the formation of a complete nation? It is the strong and robust man who has one arm still shackled. If the privileged order should be abolished, the nation would be nothing less, but something more. Therefore, what is the Third Estate? Everything; but an everything shackled and oppressed. What would it be without the privileged order? Everything, but an everything free and flourishing. Nothing can succeed without it, everything would be infinitely better without the others. It is not sufficient to show that privileged persons, far from being useful to the nation, cannot but enfeeble and injure it; it is necessary to prove further that the noble order does not enter at all into the social organization; that it may indeed be a burden upon the nation, but that it cannot of itself constitute a nation. In the first place, it is not possible in the number of all the elementary parts of a nation to find a place for the caste of nobles. I know that there are individuals in great number whom infirmities, incapacity, incurable laziness, or the weight of bad habits render strangers tot eh labors of society. The exception and the abuse are everywhere found beside the rule. But it will be admitted that he less there are of these abuses, the better it will be for the State. The worst possible arrangement of all would be where not alone isolated individuals, but a whole class of citizens should take pride in remaining motionless in the midst of the general movement, and should consume the best part of the product without bearing any part in its production. Such a class is surely estranged to the nation by its indolence. The noble order is not less estranged from the generality of us by its civil and political prerogatives. What is a nation? A body of associates, living under a common law, and represented by the same legislature, etc. Is it not evident that the noble order has privileges and expenditures which it dares to call its rights, but which are apart from the rights of the great body of citizens? It departs there from the common law. So its civil rights make of it an isolated people in the midst of the great nation. This is truly imperium in imperia. In regard to its political rights, these also it exercises apart. It has its special representatives, which are not charged with securing the interests of the people. The body of its deputies sit apart; and when it is assembled in the same hall with the deputies of simple citizens, it is none the less true that its representation is essentially distinct and separate: it is a stranger to the nation, in the first place, by its origin, since its commission is not derived from the people; then by its object, which consists of defending not the general, but the particular interest. The Third Estate embraces then all that which belongs to the nation; and all that which is not the Third Estate, cannot be regarded as being of the nation. What is the Third Estate? It is the whole. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 09:55 PM "For we've slaked the need to cull" fits rhythmically, but I'm sure the first word is "Famine", or a sloppily enunciated "families". And there's a word like "need". Maybe it's "neat". Maybe the whole line is one seven syllable word that the composeur Jonathan King found in a rhyming dictionary."Faster than filet of sole"...nah. There must be some Mudcat who knows somebody, who knows somebody, who knows the bass player from Hedgehoppers Anonymous. By the way, I did a search for Jonathan King, in case he had his own web site. Didn't find any such site, but there were a few hundred other sites carrying the news that he was arrested in January for sexually abusing a minor. Well, thanks again Susan, and thanks Jeri for jumping in on this too. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: Jim the Bart Date: 15 Mar 01 - 09:58 PM I think I have some of the lyrics for you. Second verse: I'ts good news week Lot's of blood in Asia now, they butchered up the sacred cow They've got a lot to eat It's good news week Doctor's finding many ways of wrapping brains in mental trays To keep us from the heat. I had a band called the Maroons that did this and "Eve of Destruction", among other oddball 60's stuff. We took a few liberties with the songs (they're all over age, after all) and did "Eve" ala Bruce Springsteen; we interspersed the instrumental hooks from a bunch of his tunes, with the "Born to Run" lick as the outro. It was fun. Another great song from that era that we used to do is "Have I the Right" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 10:05 PM Yow, Amos, now THAT'S a thread addition! Bravo! What started out as one obscure folk-punk in Toronto trying to find the lyrics to a goofy little tune from '65 has now hit a new plateau, and I'm eager to see where this leads! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 15 Mar 01 - 10:27 PM Welcome Bartholomew. Earlier today Martin Ryan guided me to an old thread from 1998, when somebody else had asked about "Good News Week", and there was a complete set of lyrics there which had the "sacred cow" lyrics. One of my fellow musicians here in Toronto also said there was something about a sacred cow, which has lead me to conclude that there are two versions of this song, because the version I have DOES NOT match the lyrics you and Martin sent me. One version must have been considered unsuitable for radio or something. Maybe the "lots of blood in Asia now" line was a bit much for an audience who were heading off to Viet Nam, so another vocal track was hastily done with alternate lyrics. I'll settle for the "sacred cow" version though if we can't solve this mystery. It sounds like Susan is listening to the same version as me. In a perverse way, I'm beginning to enjoy this quest. Are we having fun yet? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: Jeri Date: 15 Mar 01 - 10:51 PM Famine's taken ....toll? Famines take an even toll? Famines take our need(s) for...dole? ...oh, the hell with it. I like the "Farrah's taped her knees to coal" one. Or "Ermines hate to be a stole" I give up. I'd really like to know the answer at some point, but I have my own sanity to consider... |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 16 Mar 01 - 12:13 AM Alright, this is it!!! I have the answer!!! A few days ago I sent an e-mail to an agency in England that represents Alan Avon, former lead singer of Hedgehoppers Anonymous. I just checked my e-mail, and lo-and-behold, Alan himself had sent a reply! And a very nice one it was too. Anyway, fellow Mudcats, the lines are: "We have stemmed the need for gold, By stimulating birth control, And wanting less to eat." So that's it, it's about as official as you can get, since it's from the man who actually sang the song! Thank you all for participating. I'll be back. Might even get me a membership... Timothy

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 16 Mar 01 - 12:35 AM That's IT? Tim-- I did not have a version to listen to. I just turned my head loose on what could go with the sounds you gave. ~S~ |

For what it's worth, I distinctly remember hearing the version with the verses about the blood in Asia and birth control on the radio. I just couldn't remember the actual words. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 16 Mar 01 - 08:19 AM But did anyone find the complete lyrics? I found lots of discussion, lots of sound clips, the link to the composer referred to above but any that promised lyrics turned out to be dead links. I'm sure I knew this song once! (that and a hundred others that have gone!) RtS |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: wysiwyg Date: 16 Mar 01 - 08:49 AM Oh balls, I thought the new posts meant more clarification. ~S~ |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Timothy Cameron Date: 16 Mar 01 - 11:03 AM Yeah, okay, it's me again. Granted, the first word of that line DOES sound like "famine". Maybe Alan Avon's memory altered the lyrics, since he probably hasn't sung the song for thirty years. Maybe it's "Families stem the need for gold", or something similar. I mentioned to Mr. Avon that we'd embarked on this discussion here, so who knows, maybe he'll actually get in on the proceedings himself. Oh, and Roger, if you look way up on this page to an entry made yesterday by Martin Ryan at 10:04am, you'll find a blue clicky thingy, and that leads to a complete set of lyrics, with our verse in question being replaced with: "Lots of blood in Asia now They've butchered up the sacred cow, They've got a lot to eat" Anyway, enough of this. Happy St.Pat's everybody, we'll talk soon I'm sure. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: Rick Fielding Date: 16 Mar 01 - 12:48 PM Jeez, if Alan Avon DOES see this, I hope he knows we do a lot of kidding on Mudcat. Alan I didn't really mean OUR verses were better than yours.....only different!!! YOU'RE the guy with the million seller!.....at least until Timothy puts it back on the charts! Rick |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: Peter T. Date: 16 Mar 01 - 01:02 PM So what are the complete lyrics after all these hyperbolics? yours, Peter T. (Who always had a fondness for "Everyone's Gone To the Moon", and -- I hope Rick Fielding has stopped looking at this thread, because he really hates this song -- when I was 16 I really loved "Eve of Destruction" (over and over and over and over and over again, my friend....) yours, Peter T. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'It's Good News Week' From: GUEST,Dita (at work) Date: 16 Mar 01 - 02:50 PM One possibility for differing lyrics could be the fact that in addition to the Hedgehopper's version, Jonathon King also recorded it himself on his first LP "Everyone's gone to the Moon." love, john |
