Need some fun songs to sing around the ol’ summer campfire this year? There’s a new “Taboo Tunes” songbook, featuring some easy-pickin’ chord charts and lyrics for wanna-be musicians of all ages. Apparently, Peter Blecha’s critical analysis of controversial songs was a hit in music book business, and the Hal Leonard Corporation asked him to assemble a little songbook of the same name. <\/p>\n
To quote the press releases:<\/p>\n
32 songs that caused a stir when they were first released, all arranged for piano, voice and guitar.<\/p>\n
Brown Eyed Girl
Don’t Fear The Reaper
Eight Miles High

Working Class Hero<\/p>\n<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Truth be told, LOUIE LOUIE was not<\/strong> a controversial song when it was first released by Richard Berry in 1957. It was only after those rascals, The Kingmen, got ahold of it that it became such a sociological hot potato! <\/p>\n
Will Peter Blecha extend this “branding campaign” to include other products under this moniker? Will the world see a “Taboo Tunes” CD compilation? Maybe a “Taboo Tunes” iPod? How about a “Taboo Tunes” mouthwash? Time will tell…..<\/p>\n
In the meantime, if anyone feels inclined to buy the Taboo Tunes songbook<\/a> or the Taboo Tunes history book<\/a> at Amazon, I’d like to remind you that LouieLouie.net has an Amazon affilate link<\/a>. When you buy ANYTHING with the LouieLouie.net referral, I get a small commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
