The Standells on the Munsters
June 05, 2007 02:36PM
Watching the Munsters on TVLand right now, and am surprised to see the Standells making a guest appearance. Why do I not remember ever having seen this? So far it's great - Eddie plays one of their records and it makes smoke come out of Grandpa's ears and Herman begins pounding on the sofa in a frenzy!

Yeah, I remember that one. Too bad they had to put on Beatle suits and do "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" or sumthin instead "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White."

Herman's beat poetry, however, is the MOST, daddy.

I remember that episode. A truly great one. . . "Dirty Water" hit 11 or something on the charts in 66. Along with the Sonics' "Have Love, Will Travel," one of my favorite '60s garage rock tunes.

btw, thanks for reinforcing the stereotype of us TP guys by staying inside and watching vintage TV during the day. No really: THANKS.

Didn't somebody assemble hundreds of guitar players on the banks of the Charles River a few years back, and have everybody play "Dirty Water" in an attempt to break some Guiness World Record? I tried a quick Google and couldn't find a report. but I swear I heard this happened.

Fiction Plane were unimpressive, btw. Dunno if Sting really did his kid any favors by dragging him out on tour after all, since cavernous hockey arenas are not really a good place for a little known band to connect with an audience.

This is an interesting question, Joe.

Bill Janovic (sp?) from Buffalo Tom was staring out into the crowd at a street concert in Albany last month, and he (a Bostonite, obviously) said, "It's great to see Yankees and Red Sox hats living in harmony." That about sums it up. It's a real collision of New England and New York culture in Albany, with an equally strong Red Sox Nation and yankee contingent.

UPDATE: The book is called The Standells and the Improbable Red Sox Victory Anthem by Chuck Burgess & Bill Nowlin, published by Rounder (yes,same people). I saw it in my local bookstores & it's available on Amazon.

Re: The Standells vs Love

Yeah, decent is the word for 'em (I, however, love Television). I'm generally not really into that hippie-era stuff anyway. Love did some terrific rawkers like "7 & 7 Is" and "Little Red Book" as well as plenty of stuff on their most famous album "Forever Changes" with flutes and strings that I can take or leave.

I prefer the "Nuggets"-y garage stompers of the Strip: apart from Herman Munster's pals, there's The Seeds, The Leaves, Capt. Beefheart (yup, his first album is a classic of garage/blues/weirdness). Heck, even The Mamas and the Papas - love those vanilla harmonies, ala The Free Design, Beach Boys, etc.

I would take Love over The Doors any day of the week, tho.

I'm currently reading Dominic Priore's Riot on the Sunset Strip, which is about that era of '65-'66, which is pretty interesting so far. As for Love, I'm more into them than the others. A good start would be Rhino's 2-CD comp, Love Story 1965-1972 or in the alternative, look for Rhino's Best of Love vinyl comp which they put out circa 1980 in the used bins (there's also a single CD comp). As for the Byrds, their first three albums (Mr. Tambourine Man, Turn!, Turn! Turn!, 5Dimension) are great, especially the CD reissues w/the bonus tracks.

There are many reasons to know and love Love, first and foremost is the now deceased Arthur Lee who, in my humble opinion, was an absolute genius (the Lennon of the group), and with his cohort Bryan MacLean (the McCartney, so to speak) they inspired Jim Morrison to form a group that would be "bigger than Love".

They may not have sold millions of records but in fact they, like the Velvets, inspired most of their fans to form groups of their own! and... if you listen closely to Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy, you can hear Love/Arthur Lee influences ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE!

Strange but true...

The first three Love albums always will have a place in my collection. Same goes for all three Nuggets box sets on Rhino.

The third box does kind of stretch the concept a bit. But it's so jam-packed with choice selections that only a purist and/or curmudgeon would mind.

Robert Plant never was hesitant to acknowledge Love's influence. In fact, he sang at a benefit for Arthur Lee, when Lee was diagnosed with leukemia.

Only books about Boston sports lore, though.

Speaking of which: My grandfather was a local, rural politician in upstate NY and used to host a benefit where he would bring in sports figures to speak. Bob Cousy slept at my dad's house when my dad was kid. My grandmother put on a huge spread for breakfast and according to my dad all the Cous wanted was a cigarette and a black cup of coffee. A different era, I tell you.

Great story, Erik. Hmmm, maybe the Couz should have been in CIGARETTES AND COFFEE.

Speaking about "a different era", do you remember when pro athletes used to have real (as in paying the rent) jobs in the off-season? I think the last pro athlete that had a real job in the off-season was baseball's Ritchie Hebner, who was a gravedigger.

Also, it seems that your family are life-long New Yorkers, yet you're a big Boston sports fan. Are there many of you around?

As a little kid I lived in Brookline, Cambridge, Sommerville and Dorchester (peripatetic hippie mother) in the '70s over a several year period. One trip to Fenway, one diving catch by Yaz, and one homerun by Pudge changed my life.

As a high school kid in upstate NY in the '80s, I was an obsessive Larry Bird fan. But my people are NYers (Bronx on mom's side, upstate on my dad's). Albany is littered with Sox and Yankee fans; you get down in the Hudson Valley and lower and it's all Yankees. And that peculiar breed of NYer who follows the Mets.

Thanks, Erik. I was just curious about the oppressed members of the Nation (or as the Fearless Leader of this site would say Red Sox Stooges) behind the Empire's Iron Curtain. I read that the guy who put the Ortiz shirt in the new Yankees Stadium was a Sox fan from Queens who grew up idolizing Jim Rice. You don't hear too much about NYC-born 'n bred Red Sox fans. The only one that I can think of is the film critic Jeffrey Lyons. I always thought that the malcontents will always gravitate towards the Mets.

As promised, here's my report on Love That Dirty Water! The Standells and the Improbable Red Sox Victory Anthem by Chuck Burgess & Bill Nowlin (the latter is one of the founders of Rounder Records, who also published the book), which I just finished.

Most of the book is about the Standells themselves and how "Dirty Water" first became a hit back in '66 (surprisingly, it first hit in Knoxville, TN & Orlando FL). There's a lot of interesting information about the members of the band and Ed Cobb, the former member of the Four Preps who produced them & wrote the song (it was about a night he had in Boston while touring w/the Preps). It also talks about how the song first got played in Fenway after a dramatic Opening Day win in 1998 & how it snowballed from there, culminating in the appearance by the original members of the Standells performing the song at Game Two of the 2004 World Series. There's also chunks of information on other areas involving music & the Red Sox, including the musical career of the late great Tony Conigliaro, who released several singles in the mid-60s & the song "Tessie", the song of the Royal Rooters, the original Red Sox fanboys, which was updated by the Dropkick Murphys.

I thought it was a enjoyable read. Reading about the Standells' career reminded me of That Thing You Do. And to bring this to the subject of the thread, among the many pictures in the book was a copy of the cast call sheet for the Munsters episode called "Way Out Munster" & a picture of the group w/the late great Fred Gwynn in Herman uniform cradling a Telecaster. It also seems that the idea of bringing the Standells to Fenway Park was apparantly start when a sportwriter & a Red Sox honcho were discussing The Standells on The Munsters. As the sportwriter said in the book, "Who would ever imagine there'd be a link between 4 Yawkey Way and 1313 Mockenbird Lane."

This revival of the greatest thread ever is for Dick Dodd, Standells drummer and singer, most notably on "Dirty Water." May the Sox keep that voice alive... RIP.

You had to awaken the sleeping giant, didn't you.

Wow, no Left Coast dates. That's rather unusual, unless this is the first leg of a tour.

Of course, we're counting on those who can go see The Standells to do so, and to report back (on this thread, naturally).

A bit of new life to this thread!

Check out "Late Night Radio" by my friend and Colorado homeboy Dan Markell, featuring Standells guitarist Tony Valentino.

The latest issue of Ugly Things actually has an interview of Pat Priest, the second Marilyn Munster by Greg Prevost, as well as Standell Larry Tamblyn's memories of being on that Munsters episode.

This farce has gone on long enough. For the record brad reno stole the idea for this thread, when I, under the heading of "HIGH SCHOOL POP" mentioned the Standells on the Munsters, June 4, 2004 a full three years before. with that said, I'm going back to sleep.

The latest issue of Shindig! Magazine has a cover story about the Standells, which includes, naturally, their appearance in The Munsters.
