Race Marbles
Toronto DJ Garry Ferrier over at CHUM-AM issued a string of demented hits as a promotional device for the station - his goofy 'Ringo-Deer' (on Capitol) skated along both the Christmas season and Beatlemania to a comfy #7 on the CHUM charts in last week of 1964. In December 1965 with Dylan having plugged in his guitar and caused a storm with Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited, Ferrier unleashed his own send-up of 'Like a Rolling Stone'. As the fictitious studio band Race Marbles, he recorded the nonsensical spoof 'Like a Dribbling Fram', a mostly-forgotten top-40 song that was resurrected in the early eighties as the closer to the original Pebbles Vol. 3 - the Acid Gallery only to slip back into the dustbin of forgotten gems once more.
