The Past Is Another Country Dept.

     If you’re around my age, you’ll surely remember the days of AM music radio, before the FM alternatives were well established. You might also remember that pop music in those days could be a bit...strange.

     Oh, we had all the treacly love-pop we have today. We had the beginnings of “protest pop,” though there wasn’t very much of it. But we also had categories that appear to have dwindled away. Whether that’s a good or a bad thing is a matter of taste.

     Here are the categories I have in mind at the moment:

• Summer Love songs: This morning I awoke with my skull DJ playing Peter and Gordon’s “Yesterday’s Gone,” but my favorite will always be Chad and Jeremy’s “Summer Song.”
• Teen Death songs: Who can forget the bathos of “Teen Angel” or “Leader of the Pack?”
• Car and Driving songs: The Beach Boys had hits with “Little Old Lady from Pasadena,” “Little Deuce Coupe,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” and “My 409,” while Jan and Dean scored with “Dead Man’s Curve.”
• Surfing songs: Here’s the Beach Boys again with “Little Surfer Girl” and “Surfing USA,” and Jan and Dean with “Surf City” and “Ride the Wild Surf.”
• Novelty songs: The Playmates’ “Beep Beep,” Sheb Wooley’s “Purple People Eater,” Dave Seville’s “The Witch Doctor,” Bobby Pickett’s “The Monster Mash,” The Searchers’ “Love Potion Number 9,” and Napoleon XIV’s “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Hahah!” top that list.
• The Uncategorizable: Chad and Jeremy’s “Rest in Peace,” Strawberry Alarm Clock’s “Incense and Peppermints,” Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky” and “Canned Ham,” and John Fred’s “Judy in Disguise” don’t seem to fit anywhere.

     What varieties of nonsensical but fun pop music come to your mind, Gentle Reader?
