Hot Butter - Telstar

[SteveCarras]

And this started life as #1 song for studio group The Tornados.:) RIP producer Joe Meek...

[xsupernazix]

NO WAYY

[AbzWayne]

WOW!! Now I know this is a real old song, and I know its one of the main examples of Electro music... But, who minds of the Telstar / Stars on 45 Mixes!! Loving the song though, takes me right back!

[wsbp100]

esta musica me da notstalgia, lo hace a uno recordar cuando la musica era verdaderamente sacada del corazon, y no de una verga como la musica de ahora

[wsbp100]

esta musica me da nostalgia

[john111257]

now this should work...but it dont for me...better versions im afraid

[Jimkaider]

Reminds me of the Great Robot Westerns of the 1950's.

[speeta]

@Jimkaider That's what I've always thought too. Despite being a "space age" electronic instrumental, the melody evokes the Old West.

[LukePetticrewTime]

Wow,they actually made another song than popcorn?! XD

[Benstudio13]

@LukePetticrewTime They didn't make Popcorn OR this song.

[LukePetticrewTime]

@Benstudio13 Okay, remakes then. -_-

[john111257]

@LukePetticrewTime they did a few..percolator comes to mind..as well as apache..shadows tune..

[robrusdavies]

A new version of TELSTAR with a great video is TELSTAR by THE DUELLING PIANOS... please check it out!

[caveman823]

MOOG - MOOG - MOOG - MOOG !!!!!!! MOOG FOREVER!

[htfussman32]

Good cover, but doesn't hold a candle to the original

[FL0D0S]

@htfussman32 which is...?

[htfussman32]

@FL0D0S By the Tornadoes.

[john111257]

had this album and single...respects to joe..i guess...not the best cover

[fassola80]

I'm the 31,000th viewer !

[defaultoasis]

this is not techno.. this is OBSCURO, a special type of psychedelic --- id like to describe it this way. techno has got things to do with disco more than this, u gotta know that not all of those 60's music which used moog or drum machine contributed to techno and house.

[thud153]

This is great, See people retro tech is as good as the new stuff. Slide Rule still rules !!!!!!

[sarahthediva]

The birth of Techno

[Thomsonicus]

@sarahthediva see: Kraftwerk.

Although the Moog is fantastic here. Needed looooads of work, i guess.

[000Zephyrus]

@sarahthediva

Not techno, but electronic music.

[opsprowler]

old ppl should probably get over themselves

[Jimtophius]

prefer the tornadoes version

[delbard1]

@Jimtophius Tornaadoes take was the hit

[chg657]

Telstar, for those of you who care to know, was one of the 1st trans-Atlantic telecommunications satellites, launched in 1962. It enabled live TV & better telephone service between N.America & Europe, this was a VERY Big Deal at the time. See, kiddies, there WAS life before Ipods, X-box, & Blackberries...

[1963Pure]

@chg657 Yes and also a hit From the Torpedoes in 1962 with the great joe Meek as producer.

[heathclifffe]

Tornados...not Torpedoes.

[1963Pure]

You're right. Sorry.

[heathclifffe]

'salright! I notice I spelled Tornadoes wrong, anyway.

[annacronism]

chg657,

Another interesting bit of info: Sir Arthur C Clarke, famed Science Fiction author, was the first man to propose a comsat with a geostationary orbit, in an article which was published in 'Wireless World' in 1945. Without his contribution we might not even have satellite t.v., radio, or anything else which involves most satellite functions in general, today. Regards, Anna

[munipuca]

Yeah, but the kids were unable to listen those sounds on their own devices then.

Now every third has some of it in the NY subway.

[Khultan]

@chg657 Thanks for the info

[TheSunmanho]

@chg657

ipods etc use satellite tech as well, only people don't know or care anymore. they use it like a negro or stone age man would do.

[MightySaturn5]

@TheSunmanho lol

[hihat101]

sorry but this crap compared to Joe meeks genius version with the tornados

[wcclark]

It's still pretty good regardless. I agree that the Tornadoes version was better, but I don't think this is crap.

[Hessu26]

As cute as a little kitten ;)

[PolskaRezystans]

There's also a rare electronic disco version by a group called OVNI.

[manannanmaclir]

Analog Moog & concentrated happiness!

[steadfastcoward]

Kids, this ws originally an early 1960's classic byt The Tornado(e)s, in a style eerily predating the theme to Star Trek (itself odd as it's a latin beat) but the two do seem tied somehow.

The beauty of You Tube is discovering a bunch of stuff by an artist you NEVER KNEW OF and then growing from the experiences into a better music lover.

Yeah, I know Tommy Smothers and the Association were better at speeches : )

[6364gg2]

Im a kid and this is what I mainly listen to!

[steadfastcoward]

When I was a kid, I listened Barry Manilow, Chicago, ELO...actually about anything they played. Popcorn was a favorite of the fabled morning team at 670 AM KBOI Boise, Lon Dunn and Paul J. Schneider. Later on I would hear Bonnie Raitt, The Smiths, Depeche Mode.

Bach, Handel, Richard Strauss, Chopin, Shastakovich and certainly Leonard Bernstein are favorites and more than a few movie music writers.

Anything by Henry Mancini, Herb Alpert, Harry James and Andy Williams.

Keep searching!

[Hessu26]

So cute song ;)

[MeltedGiggles]

Popcorn's still better but it's still techno! XD
