Mike Blakesley said:I have to agree with the choices of "Tijuana Taxi" and "Spanish Flea" and "Taste of Honey" as the quintessential TJB songs. If I had to pick one of those three to send out in an interplanetary time capsule, I think I'd go with "Flea." It has it all: Great beat, plenty of hooks in the melody, a great fun arrangement and a memorable melody. (The only thing it DOESN'T have is Julius on marimba!
Maybe his most famous song, and he ISN'T featured on it...never thought of that before, it IS ironic, isn't it?
"Monday Monday" has that great stop-start arrangement and is my favorite Bob Edmondson recording.

Lonely Bull, Zorba the Greek, Spanish Flea, Tijuana Taxi... those are probably my favorites.
Wasn't one of the HA & TJB songs used for the cartoon the "Anteater?" I really thought they used their songs in some TV shows but could not find an answer on the discography.
