Legendary actor Vincent Price played "I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby" by Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band when he was the guest host on a BBC Radio 1 show called 'Sounds of the 70s: Sequence', broadcast in July 1973. John Cavanagh heard the show at the time and he posted a comment about it on this page yesterday. Here is John's comment:
'Hearing Vincent Price play I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby when he was depping a BBC Radio One show called The Sequence. For reference to readers who are familiar with John Peel's name (and it pops up quite a bit in this thread), The Sequence was in the same strand on a Friday that had Peel's shows on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the time.
I was 8, I already loved horror movies, especially ones involving Price, Cushing and Lee, so the combination of this strangely wonderful record and VP playing it on the radio hooked me straight away!'
In 1980 Don Van Vliet did a vocal impression of Vincent Price on the Doc At The Radar Station track "Sue Egypt", saying "Bring me my scissors and those hot waters!" - i wonder if he knew that Vincent had played one of his tracks on the radio 7 years before?
