Did Scooby doo get his name from the lyrics of everyday people or was it just some bizarre coincidence.

Can we get the title of the thread changed so we can have this as a general Sly Stone thread? @moderators @Gorkys_Forever

Iā€™m not sure that coincidence is the right word, as scooby-doo was a scat/slang phase used in jazz and beatnik poetry

Fuck :((

Thereā€™s A Riot Goinā€™ On is one of those weird miracles of recorded music in a shouldnā€™t-exist-but-does way that just isnā€™t really getting made anymore, deserves every ounce of reverence it gets, desert island record for me.

Spaced Cowboy is also somehow the only song ever that makes yodelling not annoying.

Stand!, followed by Thereā€™s A Riot Goinā€™ On - with enough time between the two for ā€˜Hot Fun In The Summertimeā€™ and ā€˜Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)ā€™ - is a ridiculously imperious run. Would have turned music upside down with those alone.

So just ā€œSly Stoneā€ as the title or what??

Itā€™s been changed already, was initially about his documentary

Ahh ok! As you were then
