Aside:   My family lived in Cleveland throughout the 1970’s.   The song “Funky Poodle” was written and performed by Steve Jochum in 1980 as a member of The Wild Horses.   The band, which formed at Ohio State in the mid-seventies , started out covering Rolling Stones songs (duh) and was voted the Number 1 band   in the Cleveland Area for 5 years.   The song is on the soundtrack of the 2006 movie “You, Me and Dupree” starring Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson.

    Why isn’t this one in the Crazy Xians category too? I’d think the “His” Records logo with the cross in the middle gives it away.

    From the Wild Horses website:

    It says Mono in bottom left and Stereophonic in bottom right. Confusing.

    You know how hard it is to admit that some of your hearing loss is attributable to Wild Horses? They were a CWRU staple in the mid eighties and I can say I spent a few too many evenings drunkenly screaming “play that funky poodle song” in an obnoxiously eighteen year old way from in front of the left speaker stack. In public I always blame this on Trent Reznor.
