Fats Domino - Ain't that a shame

[sauquoit13456]

SON-OF-GUN; JUST MADE IT!!! In 1955 "Ain't That A Shame" peaked at No. 10 thus just making the Billboard's Top 10 and it spent a total of 13 weeks in the Hot Top 100...

Also in 1955 Pat Boone covered this record; and it reached No. 1. Mr. Boone at first wanted to change the title to "Isn't That A Shame" but decided against it..

Also covered by Cheap Trick {#35/1979} & Four Seasons {#22/1963}...

Fats, himself, performed this song in the 1956 movie "Shake, Rattle, & Roll'...

[johnnap02]

14 dislikes really? Ain't that a shame'.

[mega89vision]

[Likety]

Aint they eh shaaaaaaaiiime

[esmaulhusna100]

A lot of people seem to think I started this business, but rock 'n' roll was here a long time before I came

along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people. Let's face it, I can't sing like Fats Domino” Elvis ( from music college's lecture notes..)

[DToxHipHop]

I'm learning this at my school of sound engineering. Important figure for the boogie woogie and Rock & Roll. Great tune : )

[luisxochipa1]

[Adigitayy]

[BulletsLikeDoves]

I'm 16 and i listen to this, my dad is into this kind of music, so i guess thats where i got it from. My friends think i'm weird but, oh well. My sense of music is amazing =).

[TheHitDetector]

This is a beautiful master piece by Fats Domino ....he has a velvety soft but powerful voice. We are treated to a fabulous rich blend of music also. One of my favourite artists and one of my favourite tracks....Superb......I will say that this particular track is not the very very best version of his though.....Having said that it does not detract a single bit from the beauty that this artist has created here.

[7anthonysanchez]

I like this song

[AloisAgos]

You never seem to hear this kind of music anymore...

Ain't that a shame?

[romiboise]

[lordwoodbridge]

I was a little boy dancing to Fats Domino, Little Richard, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, etc., etc. These were the kings of music, a music that has never been surpassed.

[Gollumsmammi]

[Vebbinator1000]

10 people Aint that a shame ?

[mangledinal]

I adore this guy!New Orleans native born in 1928 and married to Rosemary since 1948 with 8 kids. Personal quote: "A lot of fellows nowadays have a B.A., M.D., or Ph.D. Unfortunately, they don't have a J.O.B."

Fats is only 5'4". Hard to believe, ain't it?

[cricoceat]

@mangledinal Oh my gosh, he's only two inches taller than me and he had pipes like that?

[sheribary1968]

good song

[SuperPrivate2011]

In the docu Jools Holland made (Walking to New Orleans) Fats asks Jools not to forget him. How the hell do you forget Fats Domino?

[JassySelucious]

I always remember my grandmother having this song on when I was coming home from school.. Now, she's passed I will always remember this song..

[freakabe]

I love this song

I just finished watchin October sky ( great movie )

[28jake021]

@freakabe I watched that movie in 6th grade Science right after we finished our model rocket unit

[falco12351]

@freakabe that song is more famous in american graffiti

[tuffasgong]

@falco12351 well apparantly that is your opinion...

[Imaman1222]

9 people would'nt know good music if it jumped up and bit in the ass!

[cuteoldguy]

@TubeNumber1USA .....Who is this old fart ? What was said ?

...I'm a 73 yr.old fart ,iv'e loved this since the 50's .

...I want to rip a strip off S.O.F's hide .

...S.O.F. has to know to be quiet .

...Youth know's everything already .

[RevrnDale]

@TubeNumber1USA Who gives a flyin' FU** ??? This is THE best rendition of this song that was EVER made ... 

[kadburyk]

@RevrnDale then again it's all subjective. just like all music is.

[TheSuperonestore]

@PONYBOY430 are u a happy boy?

[phylliswaterfield]

This guys sounds really cool.......luv the sax's.

[phylliswaterfield]

This guys sounds really cool.......

[missmac16]

i miss good music that actually made you FEEL something. music these days really sucks, for the most part anyway:(

[rodat6]

I have a VHS tape from the Eighties, has been in storage since then, On it is Fats Domino and Doug Kershaw doing Toot Toot with the video as shown on MTV during that period, It's a great video, I have no way to play it. Pay postage from Phoenix and it's yours providing you have a way to upload the video with the song. Postage would be less that $5 I would guess and could easily find out.

On the tape is some Zappa and scenes from Tommy but can't play it, lol. -Rod Williams Let me know.

[dannyray6]

always has be my favorites and always will be.

[jizzygeez92]

18 years old with the soul of someone from the 50s.

[MexicanGnomes]

[dagjaxig]

Music from the 40's - 70's are way better than the auto tuned music today. And Fats Domino is one of those classical rock and rollers that are way better!

[puppyloveash]

Im right there with you thetwilightgirl2324 I wish I was born in the 50's

[TheTwilightgirl2324]

I wish I was born in the 50's

[yetitracker]

@TheTwilightgirl2324 wouldn't you have to be born in the 40s to be old enough when this came out to appreciate it? lol I know what you meant though.

[momsher1]

What a wonderful artist...brought so much joy to so many!

[Vietpongcorn]

American Graffiti brought me here

[geowhit88]

Everytime I hear this I automatically think Mardi Gras. Cops shuting down block parties, a drunken fight or three, and having to drive or beads in the road for the next few weeks after... I CAN"T WAIT!!!

[laurabrake1]

This is an excellent post Steve. Thank you. Laura

[kkyley]

[ANTHMX]

[ghostdrummer16]

@ANTHMX you listen to math? wtf?

[ANTHMX]

@ghostdrummer16 mathcore

[Buttchouda]

@ANTHMX Hahah, listening to math sounds hardcore in itself xD

[ANTHMX]

@Buttchouda Quite different (art,lyrics, composition, complexity, etc)

[ImaFunnaKillYou]

0:10 LOOK THE BEATLES!!!!!

[Papacujo]

@ImaFunnaKillYou

Fats was teaching them how to suck less. He failed.

[Telamon8]

@Papacujo

wait for the hate mail... wait for the hate mail...

[missusestlady]

Fats Domino is an amazing artist and legend. I absolutely love his music.

[HoboGus]

Fats Rocks!!!!!!

[austin66678]

i heard this song while playing mafia 2 haha. love this song!!!

[SimonPSC33]

This is why Elvis Presley called Fats Domino the real king of rock n' roll. Great stuff! :)

[wyo13]

October Sky Brought me to this song :3

[3flipmafia]

@wyo13 i heard this song in the lobby of the pop century hotel in disney world:D

[beccawashere45]

Wow,vonly 18,643 views? I thought this song would get more views than that. :(

[Suicidepression]

@beccawashere45 There were videos of it previously posted that had a few million views, but many of them seem to have been taken down after the big copyright crackdown a while back.

[32867lunch]

someone dislikes this? aint that a shame.

[dontdriveforfree]

@32867lunch ha ha ha true sorry. just made me laugh.

[distoman]

@32867lunch ...that's funny

[noivo]

@32867lunch i normally believe in freedom of speech and all that, but yeah, who could dislike music sanged (probably not the correct verb but english is not my language) with such heart and soul..

[otmq]

the past tense of sing is "sung"...sing, sang, sung

[NoisemakerArrow]

@otmq No, that's the past participle.

[MrDiesAlot23]

@32867lunch I love your comment. XD

That's right, if anyone hates this song, thats a shame.

[SuperPrivate2011]

@32867lunch Lol. How could anyone not like this?

[MrDeCorey]

This is fantastic great song.

[ClaySkoal]

i only listen to fifties music and some Robert Johnson but other than country to me fifties is the greatest. I mean old country not new. I heard after Katrina there was a rumor saying fats died if you herd that or believed it hes still alive.

[Mr281mustang]

Great song

[Tw1stedMoogle]

Something i learned watching the $25,000 pyramid on GSN is that Dick Clark's wife gave Fats Domino his name. He was a play on Chubby Checker (Chubby, Fat - Checkers, Dominoes). I Always thought that was funny. :)

[morgantown1]

@Tw1stedMoogle thumbs up, thats a great little tidbit

[JamesA46]

@Tw1stedMoogle I thought it was the other way around. I grew up listening to Fats back in the 1950's long before Chubby Checker came on the scene and Fats was always called Fats Domino.

[shanehenning26]

great song

[Beatleboy62]

There once was a boy from England who heard this song, and wanted to learn to play it first.

That boy was 16 year old John Lennon.

Ain't That A Shame was the first song he ever learned to play.

[halfsloppy7371]

Legend.

[TheLovelyladylover]

One of the best Steve. Debx

[yodathedeathshadow]

I listen to hardcore street punk but THIS is awesome haha

[masuraotitan27]

@yodathedeathshadow thats because its good music, and all of us here are glad you like it as much as we do... kudos to those with good tastes...

[AbjectConformity]

@yodathedeathshadow hell yeah dude, all punks should respect this shit. Frank Sinatra and the old blues shit too. cheers n beers.

[XXXlux1992XXX]

@yodathedeathshadow okT



[ashleybaldwin1]

@yodathedeathshadow We wouldn't have hardcore street punk if it weren't for this guy and a few other awesome dudes.



[indabuildin]

@ashleybaldwin1 I dont see the direct comparison but ok?

[TheHell2Come]

@yodathedeathshadow

I feel you, man. I play drums in a hardcore punk band and every time I'm driving back from a gig, I'm always busting out the oldies like this. I grew up on this music and I'll always love it.

[Xonzi]

i luv hearing this a sweet tune in the mornin. Thanks Orwashepushed, much appreciated.

[z12231]
