The Dovers - What Am I Going To Do

[sofuknossum]

i knew atlas was too good to be an original!

[HamSandwich09]

What did you want to be when you grew up?

[TheSunbau]

I love this kind of honest garage rock music from the 60s. It´s raw and it´s honest. No samples and overdubs. It doesn´t matter that the organ guy hit the wrong chord in the intro. or maybe it´s a finesse. No one knows. My hobby is to rediscover all those great bands from the 60s that didn´t "broke through". Listen f.e. to THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah". Awesome! And with a bloody driving beat.

I AM A TRUE SANTA BARBARAN I Remember this groupin Jr. HIgh.

[minkmonkmandy]

this is actually nice music. i dont usually listen to all this type of music

[gibsonvolume]

this songs got it all!! please listen repeatedly!

[jennyhaytch]

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Exactly.

[deathfake1]

Thumbs up if you wrote in " what am i going to do?" cause you were bored, and you found this song..:P

[11xzxzxz]

This is such a good song; a Psychedelic Nugget and wall-of sound too. I am surprised to see that almost 50,000 visited here. But my cynicism about other people's taste in music was reaffirmed when only 135 thumbs up (but then I guess that number often means less than zero) but then I am confused that no thumbs down. Surely this song must be hated by more "music lovers" to affirm how good it is.

[willybartlett]

ty u for the good song, i just typed in those words and walla

[TAPEWAYS]

wahhh soo good

[DerGlaetze]

I am still waiting for this album to be included in ITunes.

Can anyone out there get it done?

[ThomasScottCarson]

i love how atlas sound sampled this song and created such an amazing environment. I do like walkabout better, but this is great :)

[guptomagic]

ini lagu Jawanya Makmur yang di sinetron Awas Ada Sule :)

[glaetze]

Hey. Let's get this album on the ITunes Store listing, NOW!

I want to download it on my IPhone, NOW!

[clydebk]

Glaetze, I think this CD is available on Amazon.com

[glaetze]

@clydebk

Nope. I tried.

[glaetze]

Please, would someone tell me where I can get this album on CD.

[sundaydriver75]

Those vocals just cut through. So good. Nice harmonies too!

[paulmessis1985]

I love this song so much!!!... In reply to the guy below, I am working on an LP soon and we are going to attempt to do a cover version of this, I know it's going to be a challenge, but this song has been so special to me since I was 16 years old, I want to do a version to pay homage to The Dovers... I think I can do a faithful cover, without it being mocked... we'll see I'm recording the cover version in a couple of weeks... fingers crossed.

The Dovers are possibly one of my favourite bands.

[DNDis4Suckas]

Try as some might, but this could never be duplicated with anywhere near the perfection it has. The songwriting, the vocals, the wall of sound, the keyboard, the guitar riff, and the actual recording itself...it transcends its pop simplicity into something else all together.

[bigchiv67]

everybody should own this song! beautiful .

[TheMeloFelo]

this is such a great song,

[11xzxzxz]

Any ideas on how we can get this re-released or jump to more than 22,000 views? Well Ktoop could change the view number to 22 million (I'll help - I've already viewed it 21,000 times) and change the dovers to beatles and well come on this is a great idea and everyone is just standing around laughing at me.

[11xzxzxz]

If someone doesn't get this song .. you should be condemned to listening to Bach for the rest of your years.

If Prison + Dovers = Life

and Bach + Life = Prison

Then Moulty is still a man.

[warriorzin]

@11xzxzxz This song is amazing, but don't dis Bach. Bach is absolutely beautiful.

If you're going to dis any musician, dis something like Tool or System Of A Down.

[11xzxzxz]

A great song from Psychedelic Nuggets. Kinda Phil Spector wall of sound.

[areallystupidguy]

One of my favorite Nuggets

[123tgw]

I'll simply repeat what someone else said of The Dovers' recoording: 'What Am I Gonna Do?' ... I want to live inside this song.

The lead singer has a great voice, then you've got the wall of sound thing going on, you've got those superb, rich harmonies and the lovely tune, all with that genius and strange high-pitched keyboard riff over the top.

In short, this is a perfect song and I'll love it 'till I die

[11xzxzxz]

@123tgw Nice review .. only the Dover's lyrics should be a little more demented.

[shan32883]

@123tgw

The lead singer is Tim Granada... My uncle. He does have an amazing voice!

[tykkefar]

Fantastic song. Thanks for the link Davie

[Yannou790320]

It was Nuggets that brought this to snotty white kids, please remember that

[desolationrow]

@Yannou790320 - here here here

[reformationposttlc]

remembered! now what?

[cornsockgabz]

Nuggets can suck my grateful balls

[retiredshoewall]

thanks bradford et comp. for the resergance of this song... i don't think i found one comment that didn't mention panda bear or atlas sound... lol

[emberglance]

yes, I'm going to look up These Day by Nico now.

[donnysanders]

you're an idiot

[iamloganhearmeroar]

this sounds nothing like walkabout

[andyhercules]

Panda Bear is a genius...you know he has his hands all over walkabout. Even if its an "Atlas Sound" song, Panda most likely did all the sampling and badassery. Listen to the CD person pitch. Walkabout sounds like it could be on the Album.

Enough ranting

[milesawayfromit]

@BJORT

Panda Bear is a member of Animal Collective...of course they're going to sound similar.

[mcyrus10]

@andyhercules Noah taught Bradford how to sample, but he didn't actually get the dovers sample. Atlas sound was touring with Animal Collective, and Bradford wanted to get this sample...the rest is history

[allah21]

where can i download their songs? could not find them on itunes or limewire! :(

[thisisnotlouisrez]

Atlas sound sampled the song. he did not recreate it. Two different songs. This song is amazing, as is walkabout. and if anyone is seriously disappointed that Brad Cox sampled a song. shut up. just enjoy the music.

[bornbroken7]

@thisisnotlouisrez walkabout has so much nostalgic value for me, and if those feelings can be brought about by sampling something else, then so be it

[1087cameron]

@thisisnotlouisrez for real, its like hating a kid for trying to emulate his favorite baseball player

[wildbilltexas]

I just hope the Dovers get some cash from Atlas Sound. The original is still the best!

[iamthebearsnuggler]

independent music doesn't make money

[DBH62]

@iamthebearsnuggler You sound just like a stinking commercial record producer.

[reformationposttlc]

Once again, you're completly besides the point. Atlas Sound did not rip the 60s of, but sampled a catchy tune. Apart from that, where are the similarities between this folkrock song and Atlas Sounds Hip Hop beats?! When Detroit Techno started, they sampled old funk tunes. Again, were they the "new uncool generation"?! Invention comes doesnt start in a vaccum, but by working on older material and tranforming it into something else. You just seem to want to appear cool" Wee, you're not.

[kub73158]

You're right in some ways.

It's true that any music, even going back a long time, was many times derived/borrowed from others. It's real hard to have an original sound.

The problem and what's wrong is~ when artists take someone's music and don't give any credit, e.g. Led Zeppelin.

Hope Atlas and the others that sample give those they took from their proper due.

[nicky560]

It's called paying homage.

[JWP321]

walkabout

[killme10987]

yup.

[leptonlunatic]

word

[sweetttina666]

....similar, but Atlas Sound really adds some life to it. Definately can hear the influence. Darn. And here I thought Bradford Cox wrote one of the best songs ever. Seemed like he was on the verge after It Never Stops.

[c0al]

are you talking about this song?

[listentohella]

it was noah lennox (panda bear) who introduced him to loop digging. it's actually a really cool technique, one that requires a keen ear. how do you think panda made person pitch? glorious after glorious hypnotic samples that were compiled for the project. yes the loop was taken, but something completely new and beautiful was created.

[jabbajunka]

yeah but i swear i know the loop from another song really struggling to find out what it is :(

[listentohella]

walkabout by atlas sound

[hollies65]

Their greatest...and that's saying alot! Teenage yearning at it's best.
