Han’s Worst Hits of the 70’s- is not a song but a comedy skit by Cheech and Chong called Sister Mary Elephant reached #24 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1974. The funny part of this song is the student who when reading his essay on what he did over the summer- had the same routine every day. But the part that over the years I had forgotten was the running gag through out the skit where Sister Mary Elephant screams at the top of her lungs “SHUT UP”- Today in listening to a replay of American Top 40 from January 1974- this was in the top 40 and I had forgotten that scream. Once would have been more than enough but it was jarring and annoying. I had a headache for an hour after hearing it. Who likes to hear someone scream? Awful stuff. Cheech and Chong had their moments- this wasn’t a very good one.
that was quite a scream. i had forgotten it also. once was enough
hearing this at 7am- really set my day into a downward spiral!
lol i bet!
Listened to a couple 500 Miles To Memphis songs- like them!
Their steel guitar player, David Rhodes Brown, is phenomenal. The drummer and guitarist also area awesome, not to mention Ryan Malott, the singer. They are a super nice group of guys also.
have you seen them in concert?
yes, I’ve seen them live, but only in small venues, aka bars
I will keep my eye out to see if they ever visit the area.
i saw them one time at the clubhouse at the baseball stadium in Grand Rapids but even that isn’t much bigger than a bar
sounds like a great place to see a band- the smaller the better. i think I have gone to my last outdoor stadium concert. Smaller is better!
They came north because of Dutch Henry (another excellent band — check them out!) DH sadly is no longer together but their music is on youtube…
All I remember about Cheech and Chong was how much my brother loved them. Remember the trouble Chong got into because of selling bongs and whatnot and that he even went to prison for a while? The hypocrisy of this country, with a liquor store on every corner of every street in every city and every state, is beyond comprehension!
