Flamin' Groovies - Headin' for the Texas Border

[ihatecaptchas1]

That guy on the top right looks exactly like Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords.

[RebelSpiritof77]

it's a slow death!

[ChrisYonts]

Raccoon-who?



[1lightheaded]

Yeh ,man I saw these guys warm up For Spinal Tap , I think it was these guys .Man we did so many ludes and it was hard to tell one group looked like another , hey fuck it we were only there for the titties and beer , you know cruisin fur burgers . it was only when I couldn't get it up anymore that I even claimed I had any in music That was me going Yahoo tillI passed out . They were good times man

I have been trying to relive them ever since. ( my councilor says I have to be real man )

[mrwibbles1]

I love the Flamin' Groovies, but how would this song be better than Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, or etc?

Great song, though, I agree. Stop all these comparisons and declarations. Let songs just stand on their own, like this one.

[fecalomas]

cancion para una persecucion setentera!

[nomenklaturahippie]

ditemi voi se esiste un pezzo più anfetaminico di questo??????

[TimmytheGeek2009]

fargin' eggsalad

[BigJulieWasDead]

never heard this before. What a crankin' tune.

[LaraElSupergirl]

Kick-ass song, no doubt. It's hard to top the Groovies!

[Philmod68]

One of my ALLTIME favorite Flamin' Groovie songs! And uhh...nice try Raconteurs...but your version still comes nowhere CLOSE to this (original)version...

[joeyrider]

The Groovies are tha best among the best!!!!!

[ColonelFuckwadd]

[eugenecraddock]

a rock 'n' roll athem.

[EliRod003]

[TaffyRaphie]

the dude on the very right looks like johnny depp....

[eugenecraddock]

the first and best version is of course from the Groovies. the Best rock 'n'roll band from the Frisco bay.

[mistersmith6000]

Love the way the bass and guitar splits in the second phrase (or what ever you call it??) the bit where the bass goes down and the guitar goes up..Raconteurs version doesn't show it up enough..still good though

[elMakiMISFITS]

la mejor canción de la historia. sin duda alguna. y sin exagerar lo más minimo eh

[arcevih]

Diosssss... ¡¡¡qué riff de guitarra!!! Te pone a mil por hora

[TheFelixtrivi]

@arcevih PUES SI SOLO HAS ESCUCHADO ESTA, INDAGA, GA GA GA GA

[TonySlug]

Hell yes

[IWasBored12]

I wish I had known this song when I went down to Texas last summer

[mrSirL]

Is it just me or have another "modern" group "borrowed" the opening riff?

[PHAEDRIDER]

one of my favorite records this one ..

[PyschoCowboy]

Texas Rocks!

[markwilliamson]

THIS IS AWESOME.

I play it as loud as I can.

[hurtass]

you obviously have only heard this song first by the raconteurs. i bet if you ask them which version is better they will tell you this one is... you need to familiarize your self with the flamin groovies brother.

[IWasBored12]

But I'm sure the Groovies would say they're proud of the Raconteurs cover as well =D

[eugenecraddock]

and for the first time they have receveid royalties from one of their song.

[pendi81]

i think you are crazy

[rushfiend]

This song and ZZ Top make me proud to be a Texan!!!

[Th3UnionFor3v3r]

Well you shouldn't be...

[rocksethan]

Brilliant album. Flamingo is pure genius. Every song a winner. Top 50 albums of all time?

[eugenecraddock]

this lp was well reviewed in USA but sadly sold poor. In France it was reissued coupled with teenage head on french Kama sutra label and was a strong seller.

[Peaka]

TUNE !!!!

[zoso85]

I've never commented any youtube vid, but I gotta say that this song is the best thing humanity has ever done, with the well tempered keyboard maybe.

[taxiboysdrummer]

This band was and is the greatest power pop rock band ever invented!

I should know.

THEY KILL!
