HiDave

I'm glad your'e still singing.......always loved your voice(and drumming).

I'm still out there banging away on keyboards.

All the Best ....Cres

[sproutcentral]

@crescrisp Hi Cres. Good to hear from you. Nice to see that you're still playing too. It was a pleasure working with you all those years ago, albeit for only a brief time.

Cheers, Dave.

[perryinsanfrancisco]

Sweet!

Still behind the drums and the mic to some degree, Dave? If not, you owe us an explanation ;-)

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Perry.

No longer a drummer...the band scene over here ain't what it used to be.

I work as a soloist now, singing and playing the guitar. And I make a living out of it so no complaints.

Cheers, Dave.

[MrCatstail]

Great work as usual Dave.

[sproutcentral]

Thanks very much.

Cheers, Dave.

[mommarox2]

fantastic singing my friend. I like this better than the original.

love this song and you all sound fantastic here, Do you all keep in touch. Have you ever thought of getting back together

for doing a few remakes. Whoot, that would be awesome

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Di. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm in contact with some members of the various bands I played with...trouble is I live in another part of the country now. But never say never.

Not sure if you do any Tom Petty but something like "Free Falling" would really suit your voice.

[sproutcentral]

Merci Marie-Alix.

Cheers, Dave.

[SharineONeill]

Wow Dave, this really sound fantastic and has a high quality sound. It rocks and the voice of the female singer is great but your singing is superb! You know I find it hard to play drums and sing - any other instrument is easier to sing along - at least for me ... and I don´t play the drums lol. 5 huge glittering stars and Love and Light - Sharine

[sproutcentral]

Thanks so much Sharine.

Drumming & singing together just came naturally for me. I had to practice of course, but I guess you can either do it or you can't.

As to the sound, I'm amazed too that the quality is still there on a 26 year old cassette.

Dave x

[KarenEng]

Sounds Wonderful! ;)

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Karen.

Cheers, Dave.

[boogpatton]

Good one sprout!

[ElemeFF]

@BigLoveZone: Very funny ....

[sproutcentral]

Very fishy ....

[Kittielips]

@sproutcentral

i don't net none of this.

Jennie.

[sproutcentral]

Don't worry, we're just baiting you...and you fell for it hook, line and sinker.

[Kittielips]

@sproutcentral

I know I did.... but i'm just haiting with bated breath.

Jennie.

[sproutcentral]

And if I were to ask why, I'm sure you'd say, "Just for the halibut."

[Kittielips]

@sproutcentral

I'm shore I cod; but I don't undersand what you're netting at.

Thank you.

Jennie.

[sproutcentral]

Ha Ha!!!  Thanks Bobbie.

This was the one that got away.

Cheers, Dave x

[ElemeFF]

5.30 am over here and this was the perfect tonic! I loved the opening scene!

Quality soundtrack!

[sproutcentral]

Good Morning Micky.

[echoes707]

great great movie i remember this one the good old days

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Jean-Claude. The Pink Panther movies were very memorable indeed.

Cheers, Dave.

[Kittielips]

I've never hearsed this one before. Where did you 'dig' it up from? Anyhow; you've urn'ed yourself 5***** for another grave number.

Thank you.

Jennie.

[sproutcentral]

Three cemetary puns in one comment...I'm impressed.

Well I'm about to undertake a new project, once I think of a good plot, so excuse me whilst I bury myself in my work.

Cheers, Dave.

[Kittielips]

@sproutcentral

It was four actually, so don't start.

Anyhow; I think I'm 'digging' myself a 'deeper hole' here.

You should be shroud of yourself.

Jennie.

[sproutcentral]

Oops, I missed one.

Looks like my days are numbered.

Might be time to organize my Last Will & Testicle.

[Kittielips]

@sproutcentral

I've just had a 'coffin fit!'

Thank you.

Jennie.

[sproutcentral]

Try to keep a lid on it.

[Kittielips]

@sproutcentral

What.....The bin?

Jennie.

[ElemeFF]

@Kittielips: Just remember ... it's not the coughin' that carries you off ... it's the coffin they carry you off in!

[cinderellalifestyle]

WOW!!!!!!........I think you must have a vault , a deep and wide vault--you keep pullin' out hits, Dave! ------I love this song....your version,...well, you see, I suppose we've come to expect this from you now...you've got us all spoiled rotten!!! Wow!!! LOL.......XOS, Laurie

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Laurie...one day the vault will run dry, but not in our lifetime...lol.

Dave x

[DrewAnti1960]

Great job,great song

[sproutcentral]

Thanks very much Drew.

Cheers, Dave.

[ivebeenthere1]

this is an amazing cover Dave....Lee sounds remarkably like Stevie.....

and I have to say your disguises are getting better....but I'll have to teach you how to use the dictaphone when you get across the straight...lol

cheers Gazza

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Gazza.

Lee did a great job on this one.

As for those dictaphones, they're more trouble than they're worth...lol.

Cheers, Dave.

[ElemeFF]

@ivebeenthere1: What? You use your dictaphone down there? That's odd ... we use our fingers to phone up here! lol

[ivebeenthere1]

versatility......beyond ambidextrous....lol

[withnailus]

Always look forward to your blasts from the past Dave, you never fail

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Matt.

I surprise myself sometimes...a lot of these old tapes I haven't listened to for years.

[sistermoonshine13]

AWESOME duet!!! A very hard song to cover but yous did it really well!!! Hats off:)))

[sproutcentral]

Thanks very much Sis.

It's always satisfying when you get it right...hours of rehearsing helps...lol.

[tps607]

Dave,this is a really good track...and an interesting choice of video...lol *****

[monello198]

shite choice of video...

where the hell is hell were Sellers (note spelling) Lom and Kwouk?

but there again, perhaps interesting, was an interesting choice of adjective

;-}}}}~

[sproutcentral]

Interesting comment.

[tps607]

@monello198 Never saw it before,and it worked for me.I wonder how long before YT starts lowering the boom on movie clips like they do for some music? enjoy while we can!

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Tom.

And just where the hell is hell anyway? (note sarcasm)

Cheers, Dave.

[monello198]

funny you should ask...

last time i wanted to find it i just typed

G67

into Google Earth and it took me straight there

;-}~

[sproutcentral]

That's funny...when I typed in G67 it took me to Folkestone.

[ElemeFF]

@sproutcentral : Exactly ... if you've ever been to Folkestone it IS hell! lol

[Kittielips]

@ElemeFF

Is it really?

Jennie.

[ElemeFF]

@Kittielips: No ... not really ... just winding up Sprouty boy! lol

[lubedude2]

Just got it that you did the vox too! Man Dave, great work! stevie and petty made this untouchable but you guys did it great justice!

[sproutcentral]

Cheers Jason.

Yeah, we definitely did something right when we played this one...don't ask me how...lol.

[anitashelby]

Woohoo! This Is Excellent!!! I Totally Enjoyed! 5*s+ Thankyou sweets....Hugs Anita...

[sproutcentral]

[sproutcentral]

Thanks JS...I can hardly wait.

Dave x

[TheJessicaScott]

It'll be worth it

SJ

[vegasdaddy17]

Oh! Yess!!!...Really enjoyed this 1 Sir. Sprout...Nice groove and the vocal from Lee and yourself...Excellent...Would love to hear more of this band(if you have some)...plus the best named keyboard player I've heard for many years!!!...LOL...

[sproutcentral]

No worries Billy, I'll see what I can dig up.

That was the keyboard players real name too. He used to be called Cres for short.

[LefthandDavey]

Excellent cover!...cheers .....Davey.

[sproutcentral]

Thanks very much Davey.

Cheers, Dave.

[EdMuirton]

Fabulous rendition Dave! Class drumming as always, and great singing mate! That's bloody high notes man!

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Ed.

If I tried to hit those notes these days I reckon I'd blow a foofer valve...lol.

[weeyin1155]

An excellent track and upload Dave. Many thanks to you and to Mikee for sharing. Stars and hugs..Jan and Susan ♥

[sproutcentral]

Thanks very much Jan & Susan.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Dave x

[ricmalbex]

Well well Mr Cail...harmonies blend well....kept this quiet...very good mate!!!!!

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Rich.  Plenty more where this came from.

[hrpman]

Good song, Dave!

ps I never heard of Perter Sellars. Does he mean Peuter Soolers?

[sproutcentral]

Thanks very much.

I'm not sure waht he means...Potato Salads maybe?

[teslashield]

You choose some odd or unpredictable vids but that's what makes it interesting. Love it Dave and the music. Keep the talent going.

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Neil.

There's usually a thin thread of connection between the song and the movie I use, but that's all I need...lol.

[6K6R]

How do you feel Dave when you listen to these recordings?!? They must bring back very nice souvenirs. Passing time in a studio producing your material is a bit like giving birth. After all! These music are like your childrens. Peace man and congratulations for your nice posting.

Claude

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Claude.

These songs are like time capsules and can take me back to when they were recorded...just like looking at old photos. The memory only needs a little bit of jogging.

Cheers, Dave.

[lubedude2]

Excellent Dave, You guys were tight!!!!

[Toracube]

Weren't you in the Beatles too? Stevie Nicks is one of my fav singers. Bonkers though. Alan Arkin is a genius. Track down a movie called Simon if you can,. Hilarious.  Great cover. Have to listen to the drums esp!!! Love these dips into your vault!

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Andy.

Apparently when this film was being made Peter Sellars and Blake Edwards were filming "The Party", another classic comedy.

[vegasdaddy17]

The Party!...All time Classic of all time!!!...LOL...

[sproutcentral]

Birdy num nums!!!

[MarkH901]

This sounds great Dave - I've always admired a bloke/lass who can drum and sing at the same time too - it's bloody hard!

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Mark.

It's a handy skill to have...I was self taught, I didn't know any better...lol.

[alexandraxxxxxx]

another band....you dark horse ..lol great vocals...you sound great together...loved it sprouty ...;))

thx u mikee for sharing...;))

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Alex.

The sound engineer did a great vocal mix on this one.

Sprouty x

[blokebroadcasting]

More bands than Saturn...but all quality :)

[sproutcentral]

Definitely more bands than Saturn... and more to come.

[monello198]

christ Dave...

Another band?

is it true you played drums with Alvin and The Chipmunks?

mikee

;-}~

ps... bloody good by the way...

pps.. ever heard of Perter Sellars?

[sproutcentral]

Thanks Mikee.

I may have played with Alvin & The Chipmonks, can't really remember, the 80's were a bit of a blur.

I've heard of Perter Cellars...it's where I buy my wine.

[monello198]

fuck off

it was late and i couldn't see the keyboard through the glass!!

you're lucky that such a legend and star of my magnitude even bothered to comment !!

;-}~
