Happy Birthday Flo.

I the pop sound. Maybe that explains my fondness for Death Cab for Cutie but way back then there was The Turtles.

Nowadays, my tastes for music lean more towards new than retro but I always thought The Turtle's songs were enjoyable to listen to. (I hear the name Eleanor and think of Adam Cohen's Low Million's version but there was an earlier Elenore). Note from Wiki: The blissful-sounding "Elenore" may be the only Top Ten single to contain et cetera in it's lyrics. Ha.

Flo turns 60 today.

Adam Cohen, son of you know who.

The Low Millions are a pop-rock band from California. They launched their debut album, Ex-Girlfriends in 2004, under the recording label Manhattan Records.

Many of the songs on Ex-Girlfriends have lyrics which revolve around love and romance.

The hit single, Eleanor from their debut album has received widespread airplay on radio.

Adam Cohen (singer/guitarist) — son of songwriter Leonard Cohen
Michael Chavez (singer/guitarist)
Jorgen Carlsson (singer/bass)
Eric Eldenius (drums)

The first few riffs of this song are plagiarized by a VISA commercial I’ve been seeing on television. The one where a lot papers fly out of windows into the streets of a city. Has anyone else noticed? I’ve seen it the most during football / sporting events.

LOW MILLIONS LYRICS

"Eleanor"

Fine, I understand
Okay with me, if thats the plan
You can take the stereo, the TV and the video,
The bed, the sheets and pillows,
Before you go.
But for now, unlock the door
What are we doin' all this for?
Let me make you dinner one last time
Then you'll go your way, and I'll go mine.

And I won't call you baby, (anymore)
Won't call you baby (like I did before)
Won't call you baby, anymore
Eleanor

You left your smell, you left your taste
You left me here with my mistakes
And I can't relate to what you say I've done
But just for you, I'll bite my tongue

And I won't call you baby, (anymore)
Won't call you baby (like I did before)
Won't call you baby, anymore

Eleanor I miss you
Eleanor be well
Eleanor I wish you'd release me from your spell

Come on!
Eleanor!
Do it!
You can- Do it!

And I can't call you baby, (anymore)
Won't call you baby (like I did before)

Won't call you baby, anymore
No I can't call you baby, (anymore)
Won't call you baby (like I did before)
Won't call you baby, anymore
Eleanor
