Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post comes from my series Didn't Hear THAT Coming! (Unexpected Covers In Concert), this time looking back at my favorite power pop group The Flashcubes covering the Herman's Hermits hit "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter."
Well...sort of covering "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter." See the piece for details.
Although it's been a while since I've written anything new in this series, I hope to return to Didn't Hear THAT Coming! with more concert memories starring Let's Active, The Rascals, The Ramones, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Smithereens, The Skeletons, Cheap Trick, and Paul Revere and the Raiders, with each act playing a cover song I did not anticipate ahead of time. The other previously-posted entries in the series will likely be reprised at Pop-A-Looza in the near future.
But for now, we turn our startled ears with delight and surprise as a raucous power-pop punk combo in Syracuse gets its Herman on. The Flashcubes singing "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter?" Didn't hear THAT coming! And its story is the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
