Prowlin' With Matt The Cat

Trashmen: Bird’s STILL The WORD!

“Surfin’ Bird ”

Trashmen : 65 Votes

The Ramones : 6 Votes

The original “Surfin’ Bird” is still THE WORD as a great majority of Prowlers voted for The Trashmen last week.

This week, those BITCHIN’ surf tunes continue as I feature a full show on SURF INSTRUMENTALS. This time, you’ll have the chance to VOTE for your favorite SURF INSTRUMENTS. Choose one of the 9 choices that I have posted OR if your favorite isn’t listed, then vote for “OTHER” and list it in the comments section of the page.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July.

Friday Night Cat Fight On The Web!

Robins Fly Over White Cliffs Of Dover

“The White Cliffs Of Dover'”

Robins : 55 Votes

Blue Jays : 39 Votes

More Prowlers seemed to prefer the Robin’ uptempo take on the WWII classic, “White Cliffs Of Dover” over the Blue Jays mellow version. Since bluebirds are a North American bird and can’t fly over the real White Cliffs of Dover in England, maybe Robins can now fly over them?

This week, we get back to our Summer Theme on the FNCF with the first of 2 shows dedicated to Surf Music. This week’s show is all about the vocal side of Surf Music, featuring tunes from The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, The Fantastic Baggys and The Honeys as well as a Cat Fight between The Trashmen and The Ramones over the classic, “Surfin’ Bird”.

These bitchin’ tunes are BOSS!

Ruby Is Queen Of Summer Love!

“My Summer Love ‘”

Ruby & The Romantics : 66 Votes

The Tymes : 19 Votes

Ruby proves that she is the queen of summer love as she wins the final “Summer Song” Friday Night Cat Fight. It looks like Sam Cooke has pulled ahead with 3 votes over Billy Stewart over “Summertime” from 3 weeks ago. The Marcels are just one vote behind Billy. This is the closest Cat Fight yet and it still rages on.

This week’s Friday Night Cat Fight returns to the bread and butter that made my XM programs so successful; Doo wop. I’m featuring an hour of “ultra” rare doo wop records. How rare, you ask? Well, these records are SO RARE that none of them were EVER played on my old radio programs. I intentionally stayed away from the ol’ Night Prowl Show favorites. So if you were a big fan of the old show, you’ll be hearing a lot of “new” stuff on this week’s Cat Fight.

Whether you call this music doo wop or vocal group harmony, you’re sure to dig this extra heapin’ helpin’ of smooth harmony sounds. You will also get to vote on the doo wop classic, “White Cliffs Of Dover.” I’m presenting 2 versions that never got airplay on the old show. So sit back, relax and pretend like it was 2006 and all is well with the world.
