Dug it... love it... not a bad cover at all.

It's been a while I think since a drummer had the lead in vocals... I mean a real lead not just the occasional song or three.

Glad to see Rock getting back to where it needs to be.

Original just for old times sake... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMLnDuzgkjo&NR=1

Black oak Arkansas also did this song

For some reason, the YouTube link doesn't lead to the song for this poor Limey .

However, from the front-end it took me too I did find this, which made me smile (as both a gamer and a musician who likes the occasional 'funny' song):

 

[Jade Tigress]

OMG, Black Betty. I have a nickname, people call me "Pam-a-Lam". Any guesses where it came from? lol

Very cool video. :asian:

I like dat song. It's like coffee only it doesn't give me heartburn.

 

[Sukerkin]

After a bit of searching (not that hard I admit ) I found the Spiderbait cover ... and I found it ... well ...

... sorry, chaps and chapesses, but the original is an order of magnitude better.

Mind you, I could never successfully dance to it {that might have had something to so with the fact that I tended to be pretty darned drunk whenever I tried :lol:}

Also, I have found what a pleasure it can be just to link-surf around YouTube sometimes, with the odd adjuncts that you can get.

It lead me to some old vids of Mountain and Rare Earth, which were great and also to a great sadness when I found out that Farrah Fawcett is so very ill (as for many men my age she is an icon of beauty from my youth).

Continuing the link-fest lead me to:

Ah, the ever-so Demi Moore. High heels, martial arts, twin Desert Eagles and a Shelby Cobra :sigh: (yes, I know she's the bad girl of the piece but still ... ).

Wasn't it Ram Jam?

Wasn't it Ram Jam?

The song's been around forever, but yes, Ram Jam made it a hit in this form back in the 1970's. I loved it. This one is even better, I think. And I usually don't care for covers of classics like this.
