WOS Disco Dead, "Good Lovin'"
Quick, Stat!  Must inject anti-venom!

Good Lovin' is a great thing the Dead did; it became a spiritual gospel sort of thing.  Have you heard the version with Lowell George singing?
Sorry, it's dreadful Dead-ful. And one of Clive Davis' worst ideas ever, which is saying something.

TANC: "Shakedown Street" made a cameo appearance on  The Simpsons Sun nite. Homer: "oooh, I've been listening to this song for three days... and it's still only the first verse!"
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

WOS Disco Dead, "Good Lovin'"

Whatever else you think of this song -- and while I admit it's not their strongest work, it's
far from their worst -- I don't hear any disco influence to speak of.  It doesn't have the
the insistent beat on the one, for starters.  (See for example, The Rolling Stones' Too Much Blood.)
If anything, I'd say the rhythm borrows more from the Carribean, although I'd be hard-pressed to
be more specific than that.

As always with The Dead, what appears on vinyl is less important than what happens at their shows.
