I'm trying to track down several songs that I heard some time ago,
stuff you aren't going to hear on normal hours of any AOR stations.
A song probably called "Big Rock Candy Mountain". Upbeat - Who does it?
A song probably called "Ariel", a story of romance "deep in the bosom
of suburbia". Who does this and on what album?
A super-bizarre song, "Hamburger Lady", has an ebb and flow synthesizer
effect.
Any help would certainly be appreciated, please reply via mail.

Who does this and on what album? It was indeed called "Ariel"; it was Dean Friedman's only hit (Lifesong 45022), back in 1977. It's on the album "Dean Friedman", Lifesong PZ-35001. BTW, there were two versions of it. The line "She was a Jewish girl" was changed to "Her name was Ariel" on later pressings. Andrew W. Rogers ...{harpo|ihnp4|ima|esquire}!inmet!andrew

Throbbing Gristle -- now THAT'S music. I believe that `Hamburger Lady' was originally released on the earlier `DOA'(1978), which has recently been re-issued. If you like Velvet Underground, Residents, (old) Cabaret Voltaire, PiL, &c., then your brain is ready to become the swiss cheese that this record will most certainly transform it into. One of my desert island choices. Surely there must be other industrial noise enthusiasts out there.. -michael `no space cadets here -- just us admirals' ellis
