This Week's
"DEEP DIVE"
BAD GIRLS
This week we've got the spotlight on the girls who might be
heartbreakers or lawbreakers, but they're the girls we love!
(YOU'RE A) BAD GIRL - Today's show opened with this bad girl Raider song, written by Mark Lindsay and Terry Melcher up at their Cielo Drive pad on that magic piano, and recorded in July 1966. Mark always thought the song sounded somewhat unfinished and needed more lyrics. Terry liked the song, and considered it for a single, but when it came time for putting together the next album (Spirit of '67), a song that he and Mark wrote later that summer won out. Both Mark and Terry agreed that "bad-bad-bad-bad girl" was too repetitive with "good-good-good-good thing" and THAT song, which they wrote a few months after Bad Girl, was the hit record. But perhaps it had its inception in the earlier writing session? Quite possibly.
THE RUNAWAYS - In the first set, Mark played songs from the solo careers of two ex-Runaways, Joan Jett and Lita Ford.
Trivia: Not too long after the Runaways broke up, Lita, and another ex-Runaway, Cherie Currie, came up (separately, a couple of weeks apart) to Mark's home studio at the top of Wonderland and asked him to produce them. At the time he was committed to another project and had to turn them both down.

NIGHTMARE - Mark played this song from 1966 by The Whyte Boots in the second set. The band was a fictional creation of the Motown songwriting team of Lori Burton and Pam Sawyer, in the tradition of The Shangri-Las. That's actually Lori singing, but 3 models were hired for all the other media.
STEPPING STONE - Also in the second set, Mark played a version of this song by The Trashmen, just one of the dozens of bands who have recorded it over the years. He mentioned that two bands recorded Stepping Stone AFTER the Raiders and BEFORE The Monkees. And here they are!
BURN LIKE A CANDLE - If you ever wanted to hear how a song developed out of an intense personal experience, you can't miss the story of how this song came to be. Mark told the story in between sets 4 and 5, and 5 and 6. And if you can get through it without getting emotional....
THE LOVE I SAW IN YOU WAS JUST A MIRAGE - In the seventh set, Mark played this 1967 song by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles. Here's a clip of it when it was used in the Richard Gere movie, American Gigolo
