I guess Dave was actually in the studio for the recording of Jimi's version, thus a sort of pedigree, or 'right to play' this song!

[ggould]

I'd forgotten about this.

BOS the Cat Man -- here's a cover I can get behind. Just goofy enough to work.

BOS Kiki Dee!!  What a great track -- has Dave ever played this?

I feel just the opposite way -- I abhor this song in all its incarnations, and it seemed a particularly cynical attempt at a hit for the Cat man.

On the other hand, a big ol' BOS2 to the Mistress Kiki, who gets a hold of her blues and just plays them.  I feel butcher already.

On one hand we have Sam Cooke, Kiki Dee in the other, and what?  You choose Kiki?

oy!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, he needed a hit and a cover always works. But why hate the song? too much early-'60s sexism?

Now you can stride into Gym Sports Bar like a Colossus and knock 'em dead!

Oh, it's not even close.  Kiki had one of the greatest fake-endings ever.  Sam, you know, I hate to shoot a cannon at the canon, but I just dislike everything about his voice.  I find his style overmannered and his lyrics painfully corny (yes, they were of their time; but no, I have never been of that time).  Cokes in the icebox?  Yawn.  Much of his repertoire exists in my worst-of list, including "Saturday Night," "You Send Me," "Cupid," and "Having a Party."

NOT sam cooke. NOT sam cooke.
and that comes from a cat fan. i hate his version of that song. hate it. it sounds like carnies gone awry.
here's bowie for those who guessed!
but bos to kiki. my boss came to talk to me about "old school," (which i watched last night, at her suggestion), so i missed the coolest part of the song - the intro.

best license plate frame of the morning commute: at least i'm enjoying the ride

i think i have to return my card now. when gaz wrote "I feel butcher already," i thought he was using rhyming slang, so i looked up "butcher's hook," but decided that didn't make any sense ("look"). then i just assumed i missed some inside joke...

so you mean, butcher, as in butch? i'm so slow...

He just meant he's in the mood for some, er, meat

Who's doing this nice soft shuffle?  Reminds me of Brewer & Shipley, or the Stampeders.  VHM, whoever it is.  A breakout to me.
