Awesome & Sublime don't even come close to describing how good this band were . Setzers' guitar playing is unbelievable on this track in particular. Look at the way (1m 17s) he tucks the plectrum in his forefinger and seamlessly switches to a thumb and finger pickin' style. ........I was fortunate enough to have seen them in London on their original tour in the '70's .....have .been besotted ever since ! .....thanks 32deuce for ALL your Cats footage . ..................
@miclewis55 I'm totally with you on all you said. I love Brian's playing style and think he just oozes soul. When I use the term "Feel" when talking about players, it's Brian that springs to mind. Great post, thanks Deuce.
borrowed, stolen who cares.. i can't think of where we'd end up if we were to etiquette every artist and every song like that... I mean, just lingering with the blues will give you a headache in trying to figure out who wrote what..! enjoy the music people!
Who cares? So long as it sounds good. Name me one rock and roll song that doesn't sound similar to another one. Originality isn't top of the agenda here, fun and playing ability is.
You know you're tunes.... But, if not for the Stray Cats, who had a lot of awesome tunes, borrowed or not, helped bring this sound to lots more people who may have never heard it otherwise. I mean, lot's of folks drive '32 Fords, but doesn't take anything away from them does it?
well, it's hard to argue against that. But, to assume he didn't somehow give praise via interview or liner notes would be unfair. I'm not going to argue on this, cause you've made a valid point, I just feel that i'd be a bigger deal if the Stray Cats couldn't play their instruments and didn't have a good knowledge of the music overall. I'd like to hear your favorite bands, you've gotta have good taste. Keep on rockin.
I fully agree, in playing traditional Rock'n roll this speed only Alvin Lee / 10YA goes ahead, Alvin plays your brain off - try some stuff here and you'll see!

I absolutely agree coupe662. This is the same song as Lew Williams "Bop Bop Ba Doo Bop" But with different lyrics. We cant complain though can we.. With out the Lew Williams song, Fishnet Stockings would never had been born. Keep rockin'
@32deuce sublime did same things w songs aswell, and same w most great bands they get influinced by great bands and partialy or fully cover great shit
I saw Brian And the Boy's the very first time they got together to Jam in a Studio In Flushing NY, they layed down this track, I knew then I was hearing and seeing something special
This song along with "Double Talkin' Baby" & "Rock This Town" is always a show-stopper, you never know how Brians going to play it.. I love them all! V
Rock'n'roll pour toujours, contre tous les conformismes et toutes les conventions.

Its One thing to borrow a song. But to make it your own and not reconize the people you got your music from is another thing.
