And I'm gonna use every trick in the book I'll try my best to get you hooked Hey, baby (Hey, baby) And every night, every day I'm gonna say I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you Look out boy, 'cause I'm gonna get you
Too Good! All that hair and smarm!! The insincere sincerity of the seventies on display!!!
The dress is something else too. Maybe Sixty G could use a swatch of that for his seat cover on the curved chair.
What's the difference between a hook and a tee-up? Motive. Both are setups. edutcher's tee-up leads to the following:
Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien.
The confidence she exuded on vinyl was a facade masking severe insecurities, addictions to drink and drugs, bouts of self-mutilation and fear of losing her career if exposed as a lesbian. With her towering blonde beehive hairdo, panda-eye black mascara and elaborate hand gestures, Springfield had a decade of international hits in the 1960s before moving to the U.S., where her career faltered and her demons crippled her career...
Springfield struggled with drug and alcohol abuse--usual rock-career plagues--and also manic-depressive tendencies and sexuality issues. When she embarked on a "gay marriage," she and spouse bashed one another with cookware, and Springfield ended up in the hospital
In her early career, much of her odd behaviour was seen as more or less in fun, described as a "wicked" sense of humour, including her food fights and hurling crockery down stairs According to wiki, she and her brother were both prone to food-throwing as adults, as was their mother during their childhood.
The weird, things are not as they seem, nature of the 70's still creeps me out.
The dress is fun.
On a side note, Tom Jones, who is younger than I thought, is 79. He admits to sex with up to 250 groupies a year at the height of his fame. His philandering once led Linda his wife) to assault him. After reading about one infidelity in a newspaper, she punched and kicked Jones, but he did not fight back; "I took it", he said. That he did.
That admission reminded me of a Dorothy Parker quote, which led me to a long list of things she said or was claimed to have said, and what can I tell you - she was one funny woman.
About a Yale prom she said "If all the girls attending it were laid end to end I wouldn't be at all surprised."
They're always "struggling" with drugs and alcohol And throwing pots and pans; I never got it and still don't fall For folks who fuckup their own plans.
I'm guessing the Happy moniker for Madame Rockefeller arrived early on (as in, What a happy baby ) due to the bulkiness of her given name, with Dusty as a descriptor settled on a little girl, not a baby, as a negative for the way she played or looked. Hardly a lovely name to hang on a child.
Her father is described as a perfectionist in her authorized biography, Dancing with Demons.

The woman or the carpet?
Shame on you, making fun of an Irish girl.
Now, do you know how she got her nickname?
And I'm gonna use every trick in the book
I'll try my best to get you hooked
Hey, baby (Hey, baby)
And every night, every day
I'm gonna say
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you
Look out boy, 'cause I'm gonna get you

Not an exact fit, but close enough.
Something was up for grabs.
Well Poor You
They're always "struggling" with drugs and alcohol
And throwing pots and pans;
I never got it and still don't fall
For folks who fuckup their own plans.
I just checked: Tony's Mother doesn't say "Well, poor you," she says "Oh, poor you." An immortal phrase.
In the end, Mama didn't answer the question, so I will assuage the curiosity of all those out there (and you know who you are) regarding her nickname.
She was called Dusty because she liked playing the rough sports with the boys.
I'm guessing the Happy moniker for Madame Rockefeller arrived early on (as in, What a happy baby ) due to the bulkiness of her given name, with Dusty as a descriptor settled on a little girl, not a baby, as a negative for the way she played or looked. Hardly a lovely name to hang on a child.
