by Stu Wright Remember when Peter Noone called out, “Second verse, same as the first!” between the choruses of “Henry the Eighth” by Herman’s Hermits? The song reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1965.It was a revision of British music hall star Harry Champion’s 1910 smash hit. I’ve made some modifications [...]

by Stu Wright The 1963 Beach Boys hit was the b-side single opposite “Surfer Girl,” and was about a b-car; the 1932 Ford model B. “Deuce” in the song title was a result of the last digit in that model year, and the Nissan I drove last week was another “deuce coupe,” [...]
