This song is sung better by Drake Bell

Yeah, Setzer-pretty young and singin' and playing those licks...yeah I agree, it's a song that doesn't get much attention.

this song is so under rated. The guitar picking is so good...and Brian Setzer is bouncing all around the stage doing it too.

I was 10 when this was recorded. When I watch it...I still feel like a giggly, swooning 10 year old girl. He's the king of the cats! Please check out this song I wrote as a tribute to Setzer and the Cats. I reference 15 Setzer/Cats songs. youtube.com/watch?v=XwZrO2zmRwM

@gldeluca I was born in 83 and he is my favorite guitar player...they are one of my favorite bands...it's amazing how timeless he is/they are, and how vapid and contrived a lot of popular music today is. Rockabilly in the 50's and in the 80's was popular AND good...not just good. It's disappointing, today's young guitarists don't have a Setzer, a Satriani, a Hendrix, a Slash, etc. They all go back to good ol' rock and roll.

can we just leave drake out of this thread? his rendition is a total FAIL and he's soooo gay.

dicetoggleswitch 1 year ago

no offence to anyone who loves drake bell, but how on this earth can u compare him to setzer... Setzer who, along with Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom brought rockabilly to the masses in the 80's.. sorry no comparison...

Honestly, I gave Drake Bell a chance (only because I couldn't believe he had the audacity and nerve to cover this song) and he did an absolute AWFUL job.

Drake and his "band" tried to do the Stray Cats justice. They failed. All the teeny boppers who witnessed his "concert" probably don't even know the roots of this song.

He couldn't even play Brian's lead by himself. Drake Bell doesn't have enough talent.

Brian Setzer has skill. Just him, Jim and Lee. No second guitarist in the Stray Cats.

@ONENIGGER2ANOTHER Drake Bell is a very good musician. Not like Miley Cyrus and all that stuff.

Obviusly, not as Stray Cats, but he made a good cover anyway. He is a good rocker.

great musicians.hendrix ,gallagher ,SRV, Setzer and gibbons are my favourites

jimihendrix1975 2 years ago 2

Setzer is really just playing a twelve bar blues in G, which means that The main chords are G C and D

but he's using a cool bunch of Jazz chord substitution chords..

So here, a normal G can be turned into a G13 :D

None The less he's amazing!!!

Great vid! :)

Michaelbirchy 2 years ago 3

I don't wish to appear pedantic, but this isn't a twelve bar blues , it's a sixteen bar "blues" ( if you want to call it a blues, but the chord sequence isn't really a typical blues sequence ).

it isn't even a blues as such

murrmac 2 years ago

no, you're actually right man...

He does use the same sort of sixteen bar blues chord pattern in 'Rock This Town'

not calling blues is your own thing man.

Michaelbirchy 2 years ago 3

I agree it does have that blues feel, but you will notice that the chord sequence goes from 2 bars of the I chord straight to the V chord. There are loads of rockabilly songs that do this, but imo blues songs ALWAYS go to the IV chord after the I chord, never to the V chord.

whatever, it's a great performance by a great artist.
