The Blue Fox

[blue fox]

Hi Guys,
             great to see so many J&D Fanatics out there. I'd like to pick your brains if I may, I've always been fascinated by Dean's sweatshirt on the cover of  The Little old Lady... LP . It has an image of a fox and the words "The Blue Fox".
ANYBODY know what it represents?? i've searched long and hard over the years and no luck.  I have a suspicion it was a garage or bodyshop ( Due to J&D's love of hotrods???), anyone tell me?

I'm a musician from New South Wales, Australia and i named my own independant record label Blue Fox Records in honour of Jan & Dean, 3 EPs released in 10 years and still going strong!!!!!!!

There was a series of dragsters called Blue Fox -- supposedly inspired by the cafe and strip club of the same name in Tijuana -- but I don't know if the car name dated back to 1964 or not.

There was also a restaurant called The Blue Fox in Long Beach.

Actually I buy into that. Its typical of the J&D humour to see how far they could push it. A brilliant concept - an album cover, all very family friendly with a Little Old Lady, and a covert reference to a strip club. I've thought for a while of writing a piece on the innuendo and double meanings in a lot of J&D lyrics (I mean, check out a song like Dragstrip Girl - its pure filth!). I really can imagine Dean thinking - "OK, lets see how many people get this one".

Yep bit influenced by Jan & Dean, especially in the humour department,  click on the link below and it will take you to our Facebook Band page of the group The Lamplighters, and go to the songs and the first tune is "Hot Dog City"  a tribute to Jan & Dean. Its a premastered version, I'll try to get a fully mastered version up soon, but you'll get the idea!!!!!

Great stuff. There was a thread here a while back in which we posted music member s had made:

As a point of shameless self promotion (come on, what would Jan have done?!) I put up more tracks:
https://soundcloud.com/jacques-defoe
A couple surfy numbers ("Betty isn't surfin anymore" and "Girl form Salzburg") and a J&D tribute ("eureka california"). And some other stuff, best ignored (to quote Bruce Johnston, a lot of it sounds much better if you don't get to hear it).
