Talk:The Holy Modal Rounders

Isn't "(Do You Like) Boobs-A-Lot" one of their most famous songs? Shouldn't it be mentioned? - Nunh-huh 00:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Nah, you're thinking of the Fugs. --ILike2BeAnonymous 08:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Nah Nah, that was always Steve Weber's song -- which is how it got onto the Fugs album. It is also on "Good Taste Is Timeless" and "Steve Weber and the Holy Modal Rounders B.C."  There's also a fun flash cartoon floating around.--DeHypnotist 21:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

the "hit" was the Rounders 45 which gat considerable airplay in LA, particularly throughh Dr. Demento.

Some of the dates seem to be a year or two off; those of you who were around at the time should feel free to correct these. Bradluen 11:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

New (2004) CD: Bird Song: Live 1971
Released by Water, the SF-based reissue label. Extended liner notes by Stampfel which include the addition of Roger North (drums) and Teddy Deane (reeds) to the line-up. The notes are from 2004, recording date "sometime in 1971" at WLIR. My edits of the article follow from the liner notes. R. H. Ellis (talk) 17:13, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

The Rounders' Folk Background
One thing that oughta be mentioned in this article, somehow (haven't figured out how to work it in) is that the HMR actually did have a deep background in American traditional music, something that is evident upon listening to their material. At first hearing, it might seem as if they're just two crazy guys mocking hillbilly music or something, but they actually had an extensive knowledge of fiddle tunes and folk songs. (Just tended to butcher them in their performances.) I don't know anything more about this background, though (like where and how they picked up all their repertoire). Anyone else? --ILike2BeAnonymous 08:20, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Weber's Retirement

Merge proposal
I'm proposing the merge of Clamtones here because that page claims they are actually the same band. Zytsef (talk) 20:07, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Don't merge Clamtones/Rounders
They shared personnel at various times, but played quite different music depending on the frontman/frontmen. Clamtones maybe should have mention in HMR page, but I don't think merger is called for. --Dalriata (talk) 00:10, 9 February 2008 (UTC)


 * On reading the Clamtones article again I agree. I'm taking out the templates as I write this. Gotta clean up the Clamtone's article to make it clearer, though. Zytsef (talk) 01:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Indian War Whoop release date
I've changed the date from 1966 to 1967 because that is the year as listed by ESP-disk. Does anyone know the month of release? 121.44.213.114 (talk) 09:00, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Any reason we don't have a separate article on Peter Stampfel?
Stampfel left the Rounders decades ago, but has been out there playing ever since. Shouldn't he have his own article? Currently, his name redirects here. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 19:57, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
 * In any case, I have placed several recent photos in commons:category:Peter Stampfel. They might be useful here, and would certainly be appropriate in a separate article on Stampfel.- Jmabel &#124; Talk 21:26, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
