- 0:38SPEAKER_01: Today we're just gonna hop right in here.
- 0:40SPEAKER_01: Um, what we're gonna go over today is we're gonna go through uh where remakes are better than the originals.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: There's also probably some songs on here you had no idea were remakes.
- 0:52SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: There's a couple, and I'm looking through these things, and I said, Oh man, really, that was a remake.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: Some of my new some some things I knew off, you know, oh, this remake was by who and who, and the other one's better.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: So, do you want me to go my first one?
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I uh mine aren't in any particular order.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Me me either.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: It's just a list.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Just a list.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: Well, just a list.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: Just a list, man.
- 1:19SPEAKER_00: Just a list.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: We're known as thinking patches.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, go ahead and start, man.
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: Let's see where we're at.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, I mean, the first thing I got here is I got Crimson and Clover.
- 1:29SPEAKER_01: And it was uh Okay, speak softly.
- 1:33SPEAKER_01: All right, Tommy James and the Shandell did it, but then Joan Jett remade it in 82.
- 1:42SPEAKER_01: And I think I like Joan Jett's version better than Tommy's.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was Tommy's was good, but I just like the harder rock and the sound she gave it in '82.
- 1:53SPEAKER_01: Right on.
- 1:54SPEAKER_01: Do you remember that?
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: I do.
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: That was uh uh during her uh uh height, so to speak.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 2:04SPEAKER_01: That was when she was making it on her own.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right after the runaways, I think, right?
- 2:10SPEAKER_01: She had quite a she I think she's on my list a couple times because she had uh a couple other uh remakes that she did of the songs that turned out to be better.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: Well, let's keep it on that theme.
- 2:22SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: So uh I love rock and roll.
- 2:25SPEAKER_01: Uh oh, there you go.
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh by uh that was remade by Joan and the uh Joan Jett and the Heartbreakers in 72.
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: Um The Arrows, who I have to say I never heard of.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: Um until I got into this and I listened to them, and I I still I don't know.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: Anyway, that was uh The Arrows did it in 75.
- 2:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:55SPEAKER_01: I did know it was a remake when she originally when she put it out in what 81?
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah, 81 she put it out.
- 3:02SPEAKER_01: I did know it was a remake at that time, but I did not know the name of the group was the arrows.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: And I I don't know if I even knew it was her it was a remake back then.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: You gotta remember, right?
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: Unless you knew.
- 3:17SPEAKER_01: Oh, you didn't know when she released it.
- 3:19SPEAKER_01: You thought she wrote it.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: Well, either she wrote it or, you know, she recorded it.
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: But I didn't know it was a as a cover.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: And uh, you know, back then you didn't have a computer in your pocket.
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: No, you couldn't look stuff up, right?
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Nope.
- 3:36SPEAKER_01: So you had just had to have a friend that knew everything.
- 3:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I had a lot of friends that knew a lot.
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's Johnny.
- 3:43SPEAKER_01: He knows everything.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 3:45SPEAKER_01: She also, her other song, I don't have it on my list, but um The Jukebox.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: Uh oh gosh, what was the other song she had?
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: Same time frame.
- 3:57SPEAKER_01: Oh, she was gonna drive me crazy.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: Jukebox.
- 4:03SPEAKER_01: Oh, oh well, we'll come back to it.
- 4:05SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 4:06SPEAKER_01: I'm sure it'll get in my head somewhere.
- 4:08SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 4:09SPEAKER_01: All right, another one.
- 4:10SPEAKER_01: Uh the my one of my favorites all time is coming through again, the Wild Thing.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 4:15SPEAKER_01: You know, we talked about that.
- 4:17SPEAKER_01: It's got like 7,500 different people have tried, you know, whatever.
- 4:22SPEAKER_01: They they took licenses so they could use it for one reason or other.
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: And it was done by the Wild Ones first off in 65, and then the Trogs did it in 66, and man, it took off after that, and then it's everybody's repertoire, or everybody plays rock and roll.
- 4:38SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's played their song.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: Anywhere plays that song.
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: And it's still everybody uh wants it.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: You know, towards the end, everybody still loves it.
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, it's a it's a good song just to I don't know, rock to and dance to and sing to and belt out your voice.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: And it's so easy that you anybody knows it.
- 5:01SPEAKER_01: Just you know, it's not tough words.
- 5:04SPEAKER_01: Yep, yep.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: Um, so this one I like.
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: Um it was originally a Bob Seeger song.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: And um he wrote this while he was on a loss lost on Lonely Highway uh east of Omaha.
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: And uh it was done.
- 5:38SPEAKER_00: My favorite version was uh Metallica.
- 5:42SPEAKER_01: Oh Metallica, yeah.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: So I really don't like it.
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: You like their you like that version better than Bob's?
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: Yes, I do.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: You do?
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: I do.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: Just maybe it's just more updated, and you heard the Bob's version for so many years that I like bands.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: His live version obviously was better than his studio version.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:03SPEAKER_00: And I like bands that uh record if they're gonna do a cover to do it and make it theirs.
- 6:11SPEAKER_01: That's true.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: Instead of just doing exactly what the original did, you might as well just listen to the original.
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: If you're not gonna change it or update it or whatever, then why can't you?
- 6:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're just doing doing it to make money, I guess.
- 6:25SPEAKER_01: Well, there's that.
- 6:26SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's how well that's probably what makes the world go round.
- 6:30SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 6:30SPEAKER_01: Um, I have Come On Feel the Noise by Slade in '73, and then Quiet Right it blew it up, made a big hit in '83, like ten years later.
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: And Slade um huge, huge in Europe.
- 6:47SPEAKER_01: Tons of songs in Europe.
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: Um, and actually, quite right did another one of their songs later on.
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: We're all all crazy now.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I didn't know that was a remake either until I did not do that.
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: Um and I'm like, that's that's not quite right, huh?
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: And uh so yeah.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: That kind of turned me on the slate.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: I listened to them a little bit, and it's like they're pretty good, man.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and they actually because of Quiet Riot, their one album, uh geez, oh shoot.
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: Um they released an album that like same year or the year later, and it they got a lot of airplay out of it because Quiet Riot made their song.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: I bet you a lot of these actually did.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: So they tried a lot of good songs.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they did.
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: A lot of good songs.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Um my next one I would have to say is better than the original.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: The original was uh done by Bob Dillon.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: And it was Hendrix?
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: Yes, all along the watchtower.
- 8:05SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes.
- 8:05SPEAKER_00: Much, much better.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: Great remake by that.
- 8:08SPEAKER_00: Oh man, that was a good song.
- 8:10SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, Jimmy's version was uh way, way better than Bob's original.
- 8:16SPEAKER_01: And a lot of people don't know that.
- 8:18SPEAKER_01: No.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: They think uh Jimmy wrote it, and that was he was the uh first one to release it and everything, but nope.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: Nope.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: He copied it from Bob, got it from Bob.
- 8:27SPEAKER_01: He did.
- 8:29SPEAKER_01: Now here's one that I do like both versions, but I have to say the remake was better with a little help from my friends, obviously the Beatles, done it in 67, then Joe Cocker did it in 68.
- 8:43SPEAKER_01: Yes, and I believe I remember the video of uh Cocker doing it at um um Woodstock.
- 8:52SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 8:52SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, it was so nice.
- 8:55SPEAKER_01: It was he rocked that one out.
- 8:57SPEAKER_01: Oh, he did.
- 8:58SPEAKER_00: And that uh his other hit, he he never he was every all of his hits were covers.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: It seemed like a lot of Ronstadt's rock and roll stuff were all covers.
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: She did a lot of covers.
- 9:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:14SPEAKER_01: She did uh one of my favorites, Buddy Holly's.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: I thought you were gonna uh which one was that?
- 9:23SPEAKER_00: That was oh I can't remember.
- 9:28SPEAKER_01: Um you made me lose it.
- 9:33SPEAKER_01: Oh good.
- 9:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we know a lot here.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: Um we're doing this a little later in the night.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: Uh so we're not quite as sharp.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: We uh usually in bed by now.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 9:47SPEAKER_01: Um all right, but anyway, is it my no?
- 9:50SPEAKER_01: I said it.
- 9:51SPEAKER_01: A little help from my friends.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: Joe Cocker's version is excellent.
- 9:53SPEAKER_01: So if you haven't listened to that or seen it, listen to Joe.
- 9:57SPEAKER_01: He's he really kicks it out of the park with that one.
- 10:00SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 10:01SPEAKER_01: Not that Ringo does a bad job.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: I like it, but Cocker just kills it.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: And then another one, um, that's one of my favorites, is uh one that was done by uh Paul McCartney and Wings.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: Uh Live and Let Die.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: Oh the Guns N' Roses version.
- 10:26SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: I like that version a lot.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: That that is a good version.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean I like the original too.
- 10:33SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 10:34SPEAKER_00: But the the uh the Guns N' Roses version just kind of kicked it up a notch.
- 10:39SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: They they rock it out a little more.
- 10:42SPEAKER_01: Well, I think Ronstadt did, That'll be the day, was one of them.
- 10:46SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's right, yeah.
- 10:47SPEAKER_01: Buddy Holly's.
- 10:48SPEAKER_01: But she also had um another song.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: I know I'm going blank too.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: I just anyway.
- 10:59SPEAKER_01: Enough of that.
- 11:00SPEAKER_01: Okay, here's another one that probably a lot of people don't know, was originally done by Anita Carter.
- 11:11SPEAKER_01: The Ring of Fire.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: And then uh when hers didn't like kick it off, Johnny Cash came along and said, Hey, can I take a shot at this?
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: And he released it again and he put those horns in it.
- 11:25SPEAKER_01: And then it went, you know, huge.
- 11:27SPEAKER_01: Everybody knows Ring of Fire.
- 11:28SPEAKER_01: Everybody knows that song.
- 11:29SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: But that was not originally the first one to do it.
- 11:32SPEAKER_01: Johnny was not the first one.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: So I didn't know that when I saw that, too.
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: That was it was kind of uh yeah, you always disassociate that song with him.
- 11:40SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
- 11:41SPEAKER_00: And um here's another one that I've always associated with the group that really made it famous, and that was uh Twist and Shout.
- 11:54SPEAKER_00: Uh The Beatles covered that, and it was actually done by uh Top Notes.
- 11:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 12:00SPEAKER_00: Who I never heard of them at all.
- 12:03SPEAKER_00: No, I I've heard the Isley Brothers version.
- 12:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:07SPEAKER_01: But not the tops.
- 12:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think the top notes, then the Isley Brothers did it, and then I think the Beatles covered that after that.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think it was 61, 62, then 63.
- 12:15SPEAKER_01: Like, it was like Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 12:17SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I wouldn't uh I always thought the Beatles actually did that once, though.
- 12:25unknown: Hmm.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think I think when I originally heard it, it was, and then later on I heard Isley Brothers, but then I did, I thought they were original, but it wasn't.
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: It was the tops.
- 12:35SPEAKER_01: Okay, here's one that's kind of crazy.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: Do you remember the song Betty Davis Eyes?
- 12:42SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: It was originally done by Jackie DeShannon.
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: Really?
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: In 74.
- 12:50SPEAKER_01: He did a version, and then Kim Carnes came along, you know, in 81 and made it huge.
- 12:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 12:55SPEAKER_01: And I always thought Kim Carnes, that was that was hers.
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: She did.
- 12:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 13:00SPEAKER_01: Nope.
- 13:00SPEAKER_01: That was a remake.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: No, I didn't.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: Um really didn't.
- 13:07SPEAKER_00: Well no, I wasn't too keen on that song.
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: I thought it was cute.
- 13:12SPEAKER_01: I know Betty Davis didn't like it.
- 13:14SPEAKER_00: No, uh-uh.
- 13:15SPEAKER_01: She did not like it.
- 13:16SPEAKER_01: No.
- 13:17SPEAKER_01: And then uh remember um uh The Crazy Guy.
- 13:22SPEAKER_01: Um always did remakes, but he changed the words.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: Uh oh, Weird Ow Yank.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: Weird Out.
- 13:27SPEAKER_01: Weird Owl did version, Betty Davis Thighs.
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 13:31SPEAKER_01: She really hated that one.
- 13:34SPEAKER_01: She did not like that at all.
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: That guy suffered.
- 13:40SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 13:40SPEAKER_01: What else do you got on your little list of great songs?
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: Um, another one.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: Um that was redone by Disturbed.
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: Uh, The Sound of Silence by Simon Garfunkel.
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: That is uh that is a good one.
- 13:59SPEAKER_01: That is a good one.
- 14:00SPEAKER_00: They did that very well.
- 14:02SPEAKER_01: They did.
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:03SPEAKER_01: They really kicked it up a notch.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:06SPEAKER_01: When they drew that.
- 14:08SPEAKER_01: The guy's vocals, his voice, and everything was just so powerful in that.
- 14:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:13SPEAKER_00: That's a good that's a good one.
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: That's probably something you wouldn't expect from a you know, quasi heavy rock band.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: You know.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: But uh, yeah, that was that was a good one.
- 14:26SPEAKER_00: I like that a lot.
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: It's probably on my top five there.
- 14:30SPEAKER_01: I know, I've heard you played it several times.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: Okay, here's one.
- 14:37SPEAKER_01: It was done by the Regents in 61, and then Beach Boys remade it in 65.
- 14:45SPEAKER_01: And it's called Barbara Ann.
- 14:48SPEAKER_01: Oh, no kidding.
- 14:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:50SPEAKER_01: I always thought the Beach Boys uh were it.
- 14:53SPEAKER_01: They wrote it, they did it, but they know it was released originally in the Regents.
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: Huh.
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: 61, four years earlier.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: I did not know that.
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: That's a good song to sing and get everybody just clapping along with.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we learn a lot from not doing this.
- 15:09SPEAKER_01: You learn a lot.
- 15:10SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 15:10SPEAKER_01: And it was not in school that I learned this.
- 15:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: Um let's see.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: You got another one?
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: I do.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: And it's uh oh, I got a ton of them.
- 15:29SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: Um another one that uh I really like by Guns N' Roses.
- 15:37SPEAKER_00: They redid uh Knockin' on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan.
- 15:41SPEAKER_00: That was a good one, too.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and that's one that's been remade number of times.
- 15:46SPEAKER_01: Number of times.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I do.
- 15:48SPEAKER_01: I think Guns N' Roses version is one of the better ones.
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: One of the better ones out there.
- 15:53SPEAKER_01: They really rock it, and that guitar lead he does in it is just phenomenal.
- 15:58SPEAKER_01: Well, here's one oldie butty goody.
- 16:03SPEAKER_01: Um, Hound Dog.
- 16:06SPEAKER_01: Was originally done by Big Mama Thornton in 52.
- 16:11SPEAKER_01: Then Ellis came along and just changed the words totally around in the 56, and you obviously made a huge, huge hit out of it.
- 16:19SPEAKER_01: Because Big Mama Thornton's version was basically about a guy coming around her door asking for handouts.
- 16:27SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 16:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you ain't nothing but a hound dog coming knocking on my door.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: Wasn't she like a great guitar player?
- 16:35SPEAKER_01: Am I thinking the right person?
- 16:36SPEAKER_01: I don't know about the guitar playing, but I know she she was big blues.
- 16:40SPEAKER_01: Did a lot of blues.
- 16:41SPEAKER_01: You know, and Ellis turned it around to make it seem like he was actually talking about a dog.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 16:47SPEAKER_01: And hers was about it like a panhandle.
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: Because back in the back in the days, you know, depression every day is people would just ride the rails and then come up to people's homes and just ask for handouts and food.
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
- 16:59SPEAKER_01: That's kind of that's what the song was really, really about.
- 17:03SPEAKER_01: So give that a shot.
- 17:05SPEAKER_01: If you never listened to it, look up Big Mama Thornton's Hound Ball.
- 17:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I will.
- 17:09SPEAKER_01: Tell me what you think.
- 17:10SPEAKER_01: Right on.
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: Here's one that uh I I knew, um, but I think Van Halen made it as famous.
- 17:29SPEAKER_00: It was already famous, but I think they they took it up a notch, and that was You Really Got Me by the Kinks.
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: They they did that on their original.
- 17:39SPEAKER_00: I think that was on their their first album.
- 17:42SPEAKER_01: Yes, it was.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: And um that was the one I knew they remade, but it didn't um didn't somebody else do that, the Kinks.
- 17:56SPEAKER_01: You really got me?
- 17:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 17:57SPEAKER_01: I I think there's a number of people that have done it.
- 18:02SPEAKER_00: But I can't think of Yeah, I can't think of any.
- 18:04SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean it's Eddie's guitar on it that really gets you going on on that that that song with them.
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:12SPEAKER_01: And here's one of our favorite songs, Louis Louis.
- 18:17SPEAKER_01: And we always sing the Kingsman version in 63.
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: But it was originally done by Richard Berry in 57.
- 18:25SPEAKER_00: That's uh yeah, that song's been around for a while, isn't it?
- 18:30SPEAKER_01: And they say that uh the Kingsman version was not supposed to be released, it was like a demo, and he was like singing it, you know, from the microphone, not really up to the microphone, and they were getting it, you know, and that's why you kind of can't understand the words and everything to it.
- 18:47SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 18:48SPEAKER_01: And you remember all that stuff about the what is it the um the FBI CIA or FBI was investigating it because they thought it was a dirty song.
- 18:57SPEAKER_01: That this this thing is it should not be played on the radio and it got banned and everything, and it's just Tommy banned nothing dirty about it whatsoever.
- 19:05SPEAKER_01: No, it's a guy just missing his girl.
- 19:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 19:10SPEAKER_01: But they couldn't understand the lyrics, so we must bat it.
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like anything else, you just make up your own.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: If you don't know, that's what I did.
- 19:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 19:19SPEAKER_01: Nobody notices.
- 19:20SPEAKER_01: Nobody notices, especially if you don't sing it out.
- 19:22SPEAKER_01: You go, oh well.

- 20:39SPEAKER_01: Hard to handle.
- 20:40SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes.
- 20:42SPEAKER_01: It was originally done by Otis Redding in '68.
- 20:45SPEAKER_01: And then the Black Crow did it in '90.
- 20:48SPEAKER_01: No, that wasn't originally a Black Crow song.
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: No.

- 21:09SPEAKER_01: Well, I always say if I if I learn something new, then something else is gonna be lost.
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
- 21:15SPEAKER_01: Something else has got to get out of that range.
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: You got it.
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: Um that I didn't think about, but it when I saw this, um I really liked it.
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: It's uh Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.
- 21:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 21:31SPEAKER_00: And uh Johnny Cash red that on his last album.
- 21:35SPEAKER_00: And that was uh that was a that was a heart wrencher when he did it.
- 21:40SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: Uh you know, Johnny Cash.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, Johnny Cash version.
- 21:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 21:45SPEAKER_01: It was yeah, it was really, really good.
- 21:47SPEAKER_01: Really emotional.
- 21:50SPEAKER_01: Alright.
- 21:51SPEAKER_01: Um, how about George Harrison's Got My Mind on You?
- 21:56SPEAKER_01: He uh did the song in eighty seven, but it Originally done by James Ray in 62.
- 22:04SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 22:05SPEAKER_01: I always thought George did that song when I heard it the first time.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, uh, it's funny because I thought Jeff Lynn wrote that.
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: From ELO.
- 22:16SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
- 22:16SPEAKER_00: He wrote a lot of uh him and George wrote a lot of the songs together.
- 22:21SPEAKER_00: Maybe you did the arrangement.
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: Could be, yeah.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: But it kind of sounds like an ELO song to me, too.
- 22:29SPEAKER_00: It does.
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: It does.
- 22:32SPEAKER_00: Well, we'll have to change.
- 22:37SPEAKER_01: I wish we could play the like the original and play the, you know, the remake.
- 22:43SPEAKER_01: To see how different it is.
- 22:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you could tell the difference.
- 22:46SPEAKER_01: But people go and look it up and listen to them and tell us what you think.
- 22:50SPEAKER_01: You guys are crazy.
- 22:51SPEAKER_01: That other one's better.
- 22:52SPEAKER_01: Come on, hold on.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: Come on, hold on.
- 22:56SPEAKER_00: So you're you're up next, sir.
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: I think, right?
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: I just I just did that one.
- 23:00SPEAKER_01: I got some more.
- 23:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I can do um now Santana did a lot of remakes.
- 23:05SPEAKER_01: This one was Blad Black Magic Woman.
- 23:08SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:09SPEAKER_01: Originally done by Peter Green when he was in Fleetwood Mac in 68.
- 23:14SPEAKER_01: So it was a Fleetwood Mac song before Santana did in 70.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:18SPEAKER_00: And I keep thinking, you know, back then that it wasn't the same Fleetwood Mac.
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: It wasn't.
- 23:25SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 23:25SPEAKER_00: No.
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: Because Lindsay and uh what's her name hadn't joined.
- 23:29SPEAKER_00: Stevie.
- 23:29SPEAKER_00: Stevie Nixon.
- 23:30SPEAKER_00: Stevie Nixon.
- 23:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 23:32SPEAKER_01: Even um the other girl.
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:35SPEAKER_01: McVeigh.
- 23:36SPEAKER_01: McVay.
- 23:37SPEAKER_01: She wasn't even in it at that point.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: Uh-uh.
- 23:40SPEAKER_00: So yeah, completely different.
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: Totally different group.
- 23:42SPEAKER_00: Totally different.
- 23:44SPEAKER_00: The same, but different.
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: Same, but different.
- 23:47SPEAKER_01: But different.
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: I think they the the the Fleetwood and the bass player, I think, were s the same.
- 23:56SPEAKER_01: Everybody else was new, different.
- 23:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 23:58SPEAKER_01: They had total Fleetwood.
- 24:00SPEAKER_01: Mac had a lot of different lineups.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:03SPEAKER_00: But then their biggest hit was Lindsay and Stevie and McVeigh and her husband.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: And rumors.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: Rumors album.
- 24:13SPEAKER_01: That's a great album.

- 24:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:57SPEAKER_01: The animals.
- 24:58SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was.
- 24:58SPEAKER_01: Animals in 64 did it.
- 25:00SPEAKER_01: But did you know that was a traditional folk song?
- 25:04SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 25:05SPEAKER_01: And there's really nobody really, really knows who originally came up with it at all.
- 25:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:11SPEAKER_01: That's crazy.
- 25:12SPEAKER_01: I mean they updated it.
- 25:14SPEAKER_01: I think they changed some words and stuff in it, but it's originally a traditional folk song.
- 25:19SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: They make huge.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: Did you like the oldest song?

- 25:37SPEAKER_01: I do know that the oldest known recording that people say uh 1933 by Clarence and Tom is they called him Tom.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: Ashley and Glenn Foster did a version.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: That's the oldest one they can tie it to.
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: Other than that, they just know it was a traditional song that a lot of people just sang.
- 26:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 26:01SPEAKER_01: Huh.
- 26:02SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 26:03SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 26:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that song was uh that was that was a hit.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: Wonder if they had to pay real attention to anybody on that one.
- 26:13SPEAKER_00: Uh house in New Orleans.
- 26:18SPEAKER_00: And I started out that that uh I always thought was about haunted ghosts and stuff.
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 26:27SPEAKER_00: I could see that.
- 26:28SPEAKER_00: When I was little, you know.
- 26:30SPEAKER_01: You know, I was I was uh telling my wife the other day we were listening to music, and I said, Man, you know, I always thought this said, you know, this is a whale song or something.
- 26:41SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, that's not the words at all.
- 26:43SPEAKER_01: I said, that would be a good podcast where everybody gets the words wrong.
- 26:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 26:48SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of things.
- 26:48SPEAKER_01: This is what everybody thinks they're singing, but no, this is what they're really singing.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: And I we did it all the time.
- 26:55SPEAKER_00: Crack me up.
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: Anywho's and right on, and another one that uh um I didn't even know um well it was Hurt It Through the Grapevine, originally done by uh Glass Knight and the Pips, and CCR came out with that, remade it.
- 27:18SPEAKER_00: I didn't even know Glass Knights and the Pips did that originally.
- 27:22SPEAKER_00: You didn't?
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: No.
- 27:24SPEAKER_00: No.
- 27:24SPEAKER_00: I thought it was literally a CCR.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: Um well, actually, you know, I wouldn't even have picked CCR for that one.
- 27:35SPEAKER_00: Do you like I like Gladys's version?
- 27:37SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I have to go back and listen to that because I like her version.
- 27:41SPEAKER_01: That's one of my favorite ones.
- 27:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 27:42SPEAKER_01: And then didn't um there was a a lot of people did that song.
- 27:46SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I'm thinking of the one I I think of when I think of that song.
- 27:50SPEAKER_00: It was uh I think of the song.
- 27:53SPEAKER_01: Did Marvin Gaye?
- 27:54SPEAKER_00: Did Marvin Dade?
- 27:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Marvin Gay did it.
- 27:56SPEAKER_01: That's the that's the one I think of when I think of uh I I just think of that commercial with the dancing grapes, remember?
- 28:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 28:03SPEAKER_01: It was like a cartoon and they were dancing and singing that song.
- 28:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:08SPEAKER_01: For the life of me, I can't think of what the what the commercial was about.
- 28:13SPEAKER_01: Um it had something to do with grapes.
- 28:16SPEAKER_01: Maybe oh, it's California grapes.
- 28:18SPEAKER_01: That's what it was like it was just California grapes.
- 28:20SPEAKER_01: It was about grapes.
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's actually about grapes.

- 28:32SPEAKER_01: Who knew grapes could dance?
- 28:34SPEAKER_00: Yes, and they danced well.

- 33:15SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 33:16SPEAKER_01: And she changed it, changed lyrics obviously around to make it a female point of view song.

- 34:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 34:07SPEAKER_01: So I've got um some kind of wonderful Grand Funk had a big hit out in 74 with it.
- 34:15SPEAKER_01: Oh, yes, but it was done by the Soul Brothers Six in '67.
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: Wow.

- 35:20SPEAKER_01: Everly Brothers did it, and then uh Nazareth came along.
- 35:24SPEAKER_01: I don't think Nazareth was too keen on it originally, because you know they're hard rock, they got that you know, jam and rock sound, and they just kind of went with this mellow, you know, love hurts, and they put in a nice guitar sound to it.
- 35:38SPEAKER_01: And it's really a good great cover version of that song.
