"I just realized that there are two songs, although different genres
of music, that are similar in structure and in how they were re-issued for
greatest hits compilations. I'm comparing The Dillards' 'She Sang
Hymns Out of Tune' with KISS' 'Detroit Rock City.' Both songs begin with
a radio news broadcast by a member of their respective bands, Mitch Jayne
and Gene Simmons. Both, ironically, are also the bass players.
When 'She Sang Hymns Out of Tune' was compiled for The Dillards
'There is a Time (1963-1970), the radio preamble was omitted. This was also
the case for the "news broadcast" in 'Detroit Rock City' when 'Double
Platinum' was released in 1978."
The Andy Griffith Show and KISS. Now there is a comparison that I could not
have made. Interesting, Very Interesting!
