The Slits - I Heard It Through The Grapevine

[SatanicMechanic79]

Love it so much!

[rezdout]

EAST BOUND AND DOWN

[Jazzxoxo3]

I diggg. Its Funkay and Kinkay;)

[deftones311100]

better than the original

[ckrehbi1]

"Im comin for you."

[sigurjong]

Eastbound and motherfucking Down YEAH KENNY F UCKING POWERS YEAH!!!!

[supasta3]

omg this song is beyond catchy.

[dettsyland]

"Attention Mexicains !!! For once in your life get off the couch and do something, Come see Kenny "Fucking" Powers"

[jamstar8088]

Forced to watch a Will Young album advert before this. Come on YouTube, are you taking the p!ss?

[musgrave68]

hail palmolive!!

[taperambles]

@musgrave68

Unfortunately Palmolive didn't play on this or any tracks from "Cut". A reggae session musician (a guy) named Maxie did before they hooked up with Budgie for 'Cut'. Palmolive had a much more original but untrained style that this that the Slits were trying to move away from and they apparently couldn't find another girl to replace her.

[nickyjames1000]

The drumming on this is wicked...

[Benthamisim]

Phat tune id love your stems for a re-work if around , hit me on soundcloud under benthamisim

[Prescottstud]

This sounds awful try the original by ccr.

[robaly123456789]

@Prescottstud that aint the original mate. it's a motown tune written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong but I do like da creedance version!

[dvlbartus]

@Prescottstud , you are a moron. Heard it through the Grapevine by CCR? how old are you? 12?

[THEHORGANATOR]

You're fucking out.

[cokeworthy]

anyone know the name of the chick in the yellow shirt? she's fucking hot

[theindiegirl41]

love it

[TheFreakyStyler]

I heard it through the baseline...

[Kryp2ni8]

Slits i am still single . . do you like ?

[girlie347]

@Kryp2ni8 dumbass ... they were a band in the 70s (and not a good band either, poor musicians and very arrogant about it) so they're in their 50s now. Except the singer who died a year ago.

[Kryp2ni8]

@girlie347 Ha ha , thank you for explaining me . . i´m in the 50 too . . . . and i like as well Kleenex / Lilliput . . . enjoy it my dear :*

[aeonautic]

Palmolive had some serious fucking chops, though. She played with the Raincoats and a bunch of other groups too, didn't she?

[ColPanick]

Heard this on Eastbound and down and had to find out who it was. Awesome cover and an awesome band.

[glaeken14]

I like

[socabwai]

Only discovered this because of Danny McBride. I thought it was some Bjork I had never heard. She should cover this.

[Kryp2ni8]

i heard it through the Heineken ;-)

[ovechtricky]

People who dislike this cover don't understand that bands cover songs to put their own spin on them.

I love this one, the Marvin Gaye one, and the CCR one. It all depends on what kind of mood I'm in as to which version I'll listen to.

[theofficialescalion]

@ovechtricky Maybe they just don't like the style of it?

[MrBarcaAjax]

Pff, this is so horrible !!!!!!

[DanielBoriSM]

Its just me or her voice and singing style really sound like regina spektor !?!?

[clems111]

@DanielBoriSM

just you

[TheCoverHeaven]

Great post punk cover by The Slits!!

Released in 1979 in their 'Typical Girls' 7'' vinyl and also in some versions of their 'Cut' album (also in 1979).

[wheelmanstan]

AWESOME!!

Eastbound and Down rocks!

[emacsdisciple]

Brilliant! Thanks Eastbound and Down for bringing me here. Fantastic cover.

[TheHobbgobblin]

love the timbre in ari's voice, great energy from this group.....not many today this gutsy and creative.....great beat, great sound........diggin this

[EpicBombTime]

are you fucking shitting me? a two minute ad? what has this god damn world come to?

[MrDirtyratmiller]

I admire the fact that you are the Slits. Like, Saurichian, and shit.

[JimboRd1]

I heard it through the bass line!!

[pgheran]

This is a sick cover. Great vocals, so funky.

[luckoftheirish317]

63 people heard it through the grapevine...

[wonderlin1]

PUNK

[pekkz2]

Eastbound and down brought me here, best show on earth.

[southerngrrrl29]

how could anyone hear this and not be in a good mood?!

[innercitygritrecords]

Hey we are putting on a tribute event for Ari Up in Bristol, UK with Tessa Pollitt, Hollie Cook, Viv Albertine, Adrian Sherwood and Mark Stewart! Please watch our ad youtube.com/watch?v=qE5BCjxH5g­M and check out our facebook event if you are interested? Big Love

[sleepypoodle]

I still listen to my tape of 'Cut' which I bought over thirty years ago and even today it sounds pretty contemporary, it's such a shame that they were too chaotic/poorly managed to succeed as they deserved to.

[molly3ish]

Ari RIP. Cut, one of the best albums of the 70's. This is one of the best cover versions ever - covers punk, reggae, house, ska = all the dj's want to play it!!

[ConcreteBarge]

da da dadah!

[birdlaunch7]

eastbound all day every day baby

[tudgemyster]

Are they still going? i seen a gig list for a festival week in salford and the Slits where on the bill.

[1falconhell]

[tbrown55]

[dobbsiancant]

ari up and lizzy mercier descloux_the two coolest women of the twentieth century.both artists and visionaries.both door smashers.both gone before their time.r.i.p. girls.

[dobbsiancant]

[yagoutr7]

this is the fuckin worst song that i ever listen in my life

[95saved]

they deuced all over this song

[ShipCannon]

53 people wouldn't know talent if it gut-fucked them.

[Lakonik1]

this is terrible.

[MidgetHammer]

@Lakonik1 is it hard to type with a dick in your mouth?

[hotchocolategirl100]

wtf.........

[RainmanCT]

the slits - the roots of triphop! love it

@jasondaman8 wooo hoo

[lavastorz]

"I'm coming for you."

[jasondaman8]

@lavastorz best part of the season

[crazy4blues]

Sorry, but I think they take a soul song and, basically, remove all of the soul. This really sucks.

[miamiwax]

RIP ARI.. FOREVER IN MY HEART!!!

[tommy2tyme1]

[tommy2chips]

[sm1llz]

[blahhh2000]

I'm OBSESSED with this song.

[lashwhip]

@blahhh2000 Me too, I can't get enough of the Slits cover- screw those raisins.

[marinturk]

@blahhh2000

Omg ME TOOOOOOOOO . Why is it so good???

[banana637]

I really like this version and I want to see them live!

[phildread]

@banana637 would be difficult ; singer Ari Up died last year battling cancer. RIP.

[Skarebel69]

@phildread Are you fucking with me??? RIP... poor johnny...

[phildread]

@Skarebel69

shit no why would i say such a thing if it wasnt true ?

[Skarebel69]

@phildread It wasn't so much calling you out... just an term of shock...

[phildread]

@Skarebel69

apologies. Slits were a great band.

[Skarebel69]

@phildread Alright.

that's true. No one deserves to go from cancer, let alone people like that.

And Johnny's stepdaughter, too. That's where the john thing came from.

it's all good.

[kmctavish]

love it

[TheTruthSayer1]

In the show most of the lyric parts are volumed down. the part at 2:54 to 3:25 get volumed up because it fit the scene. The lyrics sound like shit.

[teimu2]

love that yoodle, at 0:34

[joezetank]

This is fucking shit, Urgh It's so bad, i just can't understand why you'd even consider releasing this, such a shit, shit cover i'm sorry

[JohnnyLovely2]

@joezetank This is by far the best version of this song

[joezetank]

@JohnnyLovely2 I think it's terrible, just my opinion

[ginbrandy]
