Today's song can be found here - click on the cut for details and poll.

Lancelot Link And The Evolution Revolution - "Sha La La Love You" - today's submitter (who has AFAIK never taken part in Poptimists Orgafun before, so a warm welcome to them!) says: "Todays so called song writers could learn a lot from the investigative
monkey and his hippie pals! Perfect bubblegum pop!"

YOUTUBE CONTENT: The Evolution Revolution in action (NOT playing "Sha La La Love You" though so don't vote based on this.

[Poll #1136630]

For previous panels - including yesterday's - go here: http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/tag/panel (all polls still open)

To submit a track send an MP3 to leagueofpop@gmail.com

Starting sometime this week we will be streaming the tracks at Freaky Trigger, at least on day of release, which should hopefully up the voting levels a little bit!

Thank you, mystery provider of this song. Ever since reading Cooper and Smay's Bubblegum Music is the Naked Truth anthology, I've wanted to hear some Lancelot Link. And this doesn't disappoint. The group's "theme tune" in that youtube vid merits a 6 at best, but "Sha la la Love You" is right up there with the best of The Archies (whose sound this song strongly resembles) and Salt Water Taffy. Immaculate placement of grunts and handclaps and la la la's earns the chimps a 9.
