Title: Whats the song?
Post by: Dem0nizer on March 21, 2011, 01:34:39 AM
I saw a bump which was talking about a song featured in a Boondocks episode. Its the episode with the art teacher who is crazy. I didn't see what the song was called but i love it. If someone could help me that would be wonderful

"Today" by Tom Scott, originally from the album 'Honeysuckle Breeze.'  If I remember correctly it was released the same year as the original by Jefferson Airplane - 1967. It turned up in recent years as a sample on the track "T.R.O.Y (They Reminisce Over You)"

I picked it up on a vinyl album called "Soul Treats"

Great track, and one of the favourite Boondocks episode.
They selected a good voice for art teacher in Russian version, by the way.

That's amazing... when the episode first aired five years ago it was near impossible to find a legal copy of that song. The CD had a brief release in the late '90's - I'm assuming in response to T.R.O.Y., which I didn't realize dates all the way back to 1992 - but it was long out of print when "Riley Wuz Here" aired. I felt lucky to have found the 'Soul Treats' release from 2000.

Now the original 'Honeysuckle Breeze' is available on CD (2010) (http://astore.amazon.com/bumpw-20/detail/B0049YVALQ) AND vinyl (2011)  (http://astore.amazon.com/bumpw-20/detail/B004K4X9TQ) :-o  It has to have been some sort of chain reaction from The Boondocks, I swear  :lol:

Thanks for the update, PL  :wink:
