Title: The trend (mostly in the late 60's and 70's) of bands doing "old timey" songs.
Post by: orangewhip on August 12, 2013, 12:10:34 AM

You know, rock/pop bands doing vaudeville or music hall style songs.
Harry Nilsson did this a lot.  So did the Monkee's when they did his song "cuddly toy".  Queen's "Good Company" and "Seaside Rendezvous".  The Beatles "When I'm 64".  Randy Newman.
Personally I'm a fan of this kind of thing, but I know it's not for everyone.  What are some other examples of this?

The Kinks, almost all the time.

Yeah, I need to expand my Kinks library.
