So it's Friday afternoon, about 5 pm, and I'm in the car, riding back to the hotel from finishing up a CPO Class up here in Watertown (AKA fast food & chain restaurant hell), and on the XM, I hear thump, thump, thump, thump, badda da badda da badda da badda da bump - and yeah, it's Dave Clark, pounding out the opening to "Bits and Pieces" on the drums.
What a terrific song! And, back in the day, some theaters asked the guys not to perform this tune, since all of the kids would stamp their feet along with the drums, and owners were afraid that all of the stomping might cause a balcony to collapse!
With another great lead vocal from the late Mike Smith, one of the great voices of rock and roll, here's the DC5 doing it!
