The Vintage Explosion Band.

I'd never heard of these guys until a few days ago, and I'm totally hooked... Their lead singer looks like anything but a lead singer... more like a nerd accountant.  BUT when he opens his mouth, it's WOW!...Sam Cooke, Solomon Burke, Little Richard, Dion DiMucci,.... you name it, he does them all.

Check them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.  

Big Mable Murphy  Sue Thompson
Then late one rainy night Scarface Mouzziola
Came in and started shoving folks around
Big Mable Murphy was back in the kitchen
So just for fun he shot Little Melvin down
 
Early next morning down by the river
Scarface Mouzziola was found real short of breath
They say that Scarface had died from a whoopin'
He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head
 
In the Ghetto  Elvis Presley
He buys a gun, steals a car

The Night Chicago Died  Paper Lace
When a man named Al Capone
Tried to make that town his own
And he called his gang to war
With the forces of the law
 
Should be a lot of drug songs but this is the only one I can think of that treats it criminally
Wildwood Weed   Jim Stafford
The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds
And we put 'em in the sun to dry
Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off
Put 'em in the corn cob pipe
 
One day this feller from Washington come by
And spied 'em and turned white as a sheet
And he dug and he burned
And he burned and he dug
And he killed all our cute little weeds
 
Cow Patti  Jim Stafford
'Cause the killer had killed her daddy
Just for spittin' in the road
And you only had to kill her daddy once
To get that gal PO'd

The Streak   Ray Stevens
Is streaking criminal enough?
 
How about speeding and reckless driving?
Hot Rod Lincoln  Commander Cody
Wound it up to a 110
My speedometer said that I hit top end
 
Took a corner, sideswiped a truck
 
They arrested me and they put me in jail
And called my pappy to throw my bail

Take A Message To Mary - The Everly Brothers

Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
Take a message to Mary but don't tell her what I've done
Please don't mention the stage coach and the shot from a careless gun
