From Spectropop-"The mother of all Spector tributes, 'Please Phil Spector' by THE ATTACK (Philips [UK] 1585) is a tongue-in-cheek tune written (as Mike Lendell), sung, and co-produced (with Johnny Cymbal) by Spectropop's own Mike Rashkow. There's no better way to get into the spirit of this article than to quote the song's lyrics in full."
Please Phil Spector,
Make me a star;
Help me get up where the Righteous Brothers are.
I know I can make it if you'll help me along;
All it would take is a really perfect song and you, so
Please Phil Spector,
Give me a break.
All the big disc jockeys play the records that you make.
Get Gene or Garry or Specs to write the charts;
Give me the Blossoms to sing background from their hearts,
Oh, please, now...
Mr. Spector, I'd get down on my knees to you;
If you won't help me, I'll get Bob Crewe.
Please Phil Spector,
I need your helping hand
And if you please, one hundred pieces in the band.
But as a favor, let me have my choice
Of who you're gonna use, baby, to overdub my voice.
Please Phil Spector.mp3
