Ever stop to think about really creative musical group names? Well I have and am offering up Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airman. George Frayne IV was Commander Cody.

Frayne was an interesting individual in that he taught at the University of Michigan while earning a M.F.A. in sculpture and painting. He was doing this from 1966-68 and in 1969 moved to San Francisco and took his band Commander Cody with him. He had formed this group in 1967.

The song I choose was “Hot Rod Lincoln”. It was written in 1955 by Charlie Ryan. Ryan and others released the song but it was Commander Cody’s 1972 version that gave the song popularity. It appeared on the album Lost in the Ozone.

Here are the lyrics:

Next week the prompt is Alluring, Beautiful, Charming, Graceful, Seductive
