[Meatboy01]

Brings back many memories from the days at Merlin's, Tempe AZ

[BeverlyHills2ndGen]

Man, how come this video looks like it was shot in the 1940s!?

[AZcontra]

@BeverlyHills2ndGen that was the idea. it was shot on b&w 35mm film to make it look that way.

[MankindCartoons]

@BeverlyHills2ndGen more like 30's or even 20's. but then it has sound.

[susycapluzzi]

can someone please give me the lyrics?? Please I love the way this sounds. :D

[RikkiX69]

Yeah, i was trippin' when I was watching Bones tonight, to hear it!!! I was like " can't believe it!!!" Someone from the show is from Phoenix...I can bet on it!!! I had Put on Blue Shoes LP as a KID. And saw them Live a few times!!! GREAT POWER POP! Who remembers the club Merlins on Mill?????

[Meatboy01]

I started tending bar at Merlin's, So.&Mill 1981 while going to school days. Only male bartender there with the 2 or 3 ladies. Great times!

[BonesCrazy24]

The played this on Bones :)

[Celeriok]

(My english is so bad) Bones is a TV Program. In that program, this song appears (appears rotflol, sorry for my english is really bad xD) uncovered.

How can I download the uncovered version?

[AZcontra]

No sé cómo va a ir acerca de la descarga del episodio de "Bones" de televisión. Hice este video de los músicos en 1981. ¿Ha realizado una búsqueda en Internet para "Bones?"

[Celeriok]

Porras!!! Si hablas español, que lol xDDD. El caso es que la cancion aparece remasterizada y pense que tu sabrias donde conseguirla xD.

Un saludo y buen video: 5 estrellas.

[waketheoblivious]

Did Peggy Murphy occasionally sing as a guest with the band Billy Clone and the Same? Seems like it was her who did some Rocky Horror Picture Show covers that were incredible. Didn't last long. Later the same night after the band finished performing at their usual location North of the River Bottom, the lead singer OD'd on Heroine.

[Komerex]

This song was used in a recent Bones episode - "Mayhem on the Cross." In the show, it was supposed to be a song that one of the characters recorded back in the day as "Noddy Comet."

[ldwfagent]

Is it just me or does anybody notice the guitar player to the left? He's got MOVES!!! Lol. Does anybody know where I can find these lyrics? Also heard it for the first time on Bones, but I can't find them anywhere. The song's just too old I guess! :D

[AZcontra]

I should be able to upload a higher quality video. When this file was posted, Youtube did not have the HQ and HD options. The only recording I know of was released on a 7 inch 33.3 rpm record. Sometimes they are available on Amazon.

[Slides2006]

Did this band ever became famous beyond Arizona? I wonder where the members are now?

[aldoriba]

@Slides2006 I'm in LA still making music myspacedotcom/aldoriba

[Slides2006]

@aldoriba cool, which one are you in the video? Did you know Bones was going to sample your song?

[aldoriba]

@Slides2006 I was the bass player. DR and Murph wrote the song. I wasn't aware of the Bones deal. But good for them

[leafeater24]

I want this MP3....does anyone know where i can find it???

[bonesspoilers]

Watch Bones episode: Mayhem on the Cross to hear this song... it was AMAZING!

[dreamer7231]

This is awesome! I was looking for this song since it was on Bones too haha

[lezgirlste]

I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it on Bones!

Is there any chance to upload this in a *Better* quality? Thank you so much!

[YVANGELINABALLERINA]

so completely amazing!!! xxxxxx

[shizniz00]

love the strumming on the guitar...

[musiolette]

Thank you, Bones, for making me discover that music... That's so great <3

[casperthefriendlyG]

i herd it in bones too, is f*ckin' cool band, but it's much cooler tothink that the song it's sung by Gordon Gordon's band, isn't it? hahaha

[Valleria93]

yeah :D Gordon was/is perfect and Bones - they always have so great music

[medea1990]

@casperthefriendlyG Yes, it was. Could you please send me the lyrics? I want to learn this song...

[Slides2006]

Stephen Fry says HI!!!!!

Rock Roller aka Punzie

[Club21Band]

Rock Roller live on. :)

[ajbourque41]

I saw them play at Legend City when I was about 16. We missed them playing this song and we sat through all the covers and eventually the crowd convinced them to play this one again.

[279redsport]

hee hee... we weren't ASU students, silly. But we did play there a lot. Grew our home at "Friar Tucks".

Anybody other audio or video, please post. The only thing I have left was a recording we did at Pantheon Studios in 80. smiles

[julsbeau]

Brings back some great memories! Thanks!

[erfdawg]

WOW! I remember hearing their album (?)(well, different) version on the radio (KDKB). This band was really good, their ties weren't TOO skinny, the obviously had their feet planted very firmly in the new wave & rock scenes. Where's the CD?

[djskum2002]

They only released one albem and the single on a kdkb produced compulation. Try trax n wax on camelback and central in phoenix.

[djskum]

they were students at ASU and were first featured on KDKB's arizona sounds vol. 3 I think. the girl and lead guitarist got married and rerecorded better in 1983 but only put it on a tape. roads to moscow in down town tempe had a few of there t-shirts but not too manny people knew of them. I have there record too.

[Ezreal]

"Better" was released on a 7-inch along with "Someone Like You" and "Hey". Great find on the video!

[SongPlanetRadioDJ]

Hey, Blue Shoes, or should I say, Droll?

I've been loving this song since the first time I heard it on SongPlanet Radio. Just goes to show that great music is timeless!

DJ Motmot

[dbliss53]

Holy cow! was this for a cameo on Wallace & Ladmo? Did these guys (gal) ever play at Friar Tucks? Did they ever hit the big time...Will they ever make a comeback. Will you take me to Legend City?

[caitbrennan]

This is the coolest thing ever--where did you find this? I still have my "Put On Blue Shoes" vinyl, had no idea they ever did a video. Thanks for posting it!

[AZcontra]

You're welcome. I actually have a couple more of their videos. I was involved with the filming back in the day... Will try and get them up on YouTube. Please let other fans know. Thanks !

[torogooder]

where can we find this i just herd this on tv show bones last night

[alsepang]

It's a pretty obscure song, that's for sure. I found a copy on Amazon.

Although, if you're trying to get it for free... huh, good luck.

[Sarahfad]

iTunes has it!
