I think the original version gets a lot of reflected glory from the later live version, whatever that means


I think it means that Lou ditched the silly falsetto parts. Great song, but you're right--the Rock and Roll Animal version is the definitive one.

FWIW, the original was HUGE on prog FM in the Northeast at the time. Far & away the most airplay anything by the Velvets ever got.

Dress up tonight, why be lonely?

VHM for "Celebrate", another of the 45's we had in our house when I was a wee lad.

I stopped short of making a statement about how popular it originally was, but out here, I heard "Heroin" more than the original "Rock and Roll."  For that matter, I heard a lot of the song about mailing himself in a box (can't remember title right now)

(whew) I didn't botch the lyrics. But, to answer you question, Geoff: I ALWAYS have my tambourine, baby!

I'm not to keen on this "Celebrity Ball" song. I don't know why. I mean, the "celebrate, celebrate" part is nice- but overall? I don't care.

Dave's  Yahoo messenger ID has the following tag after his logon: "anybody remember Pickettywich?"

So, can anyone here clue me in? I'm stumped. (Dave sez it was a national hit.)

No way, man! Tambourining is in my soul.

Now see- this "Montego Bay" song is kinda lame, too- but I like it. Go figure.

I like tambourines!  Your tambourine was mentioned I believe yesterday, and you weren't even here!  Maybe I misunderstood the meaning of Beej's tambourine.

Well now, this is a real sing-along song,

"Sing Out!  Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh"

LOL! It's my own fault, really. Whenever I make some insanely wrong guess about who did what song and am wrong- I mention that if we were a band, I'd play the tambourine. Because, let's face it, tambourining isn't exactly rocket science, y'know?

With the headphones on I heard some nice guitar work in behind the celebrate, celebrate.
