MORE 60s garage punk rock classic Diddy Wah Diddy

[Bronson309]

WOW Great THX

[jezmundberserker]

42,000 views? At least half of them are mine. I love this video.

[KOSMICKEN09]

I don't like bitching about pop music lol but wouldn't it be great to hear some garage rock on top 40 again???

[mikehickerson]

Filmed at the east end of Zuma Beach. They used extras and kept us locals out. Thata why they look so goofy in the water.

[jezmundberserker]

I hope Don realized how much people not only dug his music and paintings but also appreciated him as a person. He'd didn't have much contact with the outside world after retiring from music in '82, yet his death feels like a huge loss. A great artist who will forever be fondly remembered. What else could anyone ask for?

[asajdera3]

RIP Don Van Vliet . The Captain.

[LimeStreetBlues]

Briiliant! I always thought I imagined this song from my childhood. Here is proof I didnt. Great to hear again after all these years

[lamccaugh]

LOL!! at 1:44

[jezmundberserker]

@lamccaugh: I noticed it too before reading your comment. The Captain doing some wobbly knees dance moves. So freakin' cool!

[lamccaugh]

@jezmundberserker He looked like he was doing the Charleston!

[Lucasisdemon]

Ahhhhhh that fucking bass. Heavy before heavy was heavy. You feels me?

[0Natashaizere]

Check the bathers out ! excellent guitarist

[20adventures]

you still got that 357 behind the bar

[PieceofMindmusic]

the one person who went out of there way to dislike this clearly has no soul....and I'm not writing this so you can give me "thumbs".

[Broyd]

May you find peace in eternal chaos, Captain. I'll forever be your shipmate.

[jamanko]

RIP. Someone who wasnt afraid to be original.

[burnjim]

RIP big fella.

[blacflag]

RIP, thanks for the music.

[missionrd100]

The Captain really has a great voice. The harp playing is OK but I've heard him do some really kick ass harmonica playing on the "Strictly Personal" album.

[yarekhunt]

AMAZING JOB!

[blackpage555]

Doug Moon, Jerry Handley, John French and Alex Snouffer in this video (audio sourced from A&M sessions most likely). Ry Cooder wasn't around yet, he was really never a member, more a session musician who thought about joining, but thought better of it. Note his absence in the Safe As Milk photo shoot, even though his slide is all over that LP.

[TumbrelJockey]

@blackpage555 He really wimped out .Guess Cooder thought about running for prez one day lol :)

[onezitman]

it's on an album called the a & m sessions...great tune came out in '65....ry cooder on lead...clear spot came out years later

[Debaser11]

@onezitman

Ry Cooder is not on lead here.

[fuzzprobe]

The bass sound on this record is amazing. I love how they blended the harpsichord into it!

[purdy1986]

Is this version on any of the nuggets albums?

[Sandbagger300]

@purdy1986 Yeah it's on the Nuggets box set.

[shanethepioneer]

gumbalin trumbalin veselo qpon4e

[adaytimedilema]

Running Jumping Standing Still does an amazing version.

[onezitman]

ry was only around for the first album..safe as milk. diddy wah diddy was before that, and didn't appear on any album...but i don't know if he was on the a&m sessions

[6motion6]

@onezitman Diddy Wah Diddy is on an LP, I think it is called "Clear Spot."

[onezitman]

wooopp...zat ry cooder on lead?

barry & remains also did a smokin version

[NewPaltzIndie]

heard The Sonics version of this but it simply doesn't compare! listen to that bass, sounds like an electric heartbeat! you just cant get better than that

[rt16]

Fool; you can't explain or justify Beefheart. He just is.

[loucheslaw]

[mojochessclassics]

[frenzexperiment]

[titostacos]

It's weird how the kids on the beach seem as though they have been coached how to frolic.

[gumby909]

[gumby909]

[Sandbagger300]

Love the Bass Line on this song.This is a pretty normal song compared to his Trout mask Replica album songs!

[craig1873craig]

the remains did a amazing version of this song

[KENVAIL]

he could rock before he got totally in outer space lol....i like both sides of him.

[PAULLONDEN]

How is that one; made well??

Some old footage & interviews maybe?

Thanx,

Ruben

[etrigan68]

The Lynch Doumentary is from the 90's and is like 89 mins long. I saw it once in FYE, and thought man I need to buy this, and that was the one day I didn't have my wallett on me! :(
