The original was great and the Bandgles did a great job, they added a lot of flare to this sombre classic. It's cool to see how different types of distortion effect a relatively simple(though epic) rock riff.
My favorite bangels song above Eternal Flame for sure,by the way,whats the name of the one is not the leader vocal,the one on her rigth ? Goooooorgeous :)
"I'm 38 and I'm sick of reading comments putting down teenagers just for expressing enjoyment of older music." Give them a break. They love a song and want to share how great they think it is. I'd rather read that than the now cliched parodies that pick on kids./ I bought this single when I was 15 and had no idea it was a Simon&Garfunkel cover for years. I'm sure there are many songs I still don't know are actually covers. It's not worth getting snooty about unless the original gets slated.
@hennaG2 I suspect it was much less a commentary on youth enjoying older music, as it is the general impression those posts give of not being legit, i.e. not really posted by youngsters. A feeling I admit I share, I just don't care enough to complain about. They almost feel like the FBI trolling for perverts...
I'd take this over any of the morbid kids, putting on eyeliner and screaming down the microphone about how they hate life anyday.. Hail the 80s!! When music was FUN and actually mattered!
God I love the sound of all of the band members singing together. They have such a great sound. Plus Vicki Peterson is great (and hot) on the lead guitar. Best girl band ever!!!
Since it is called the movie of this video of The Bangles - Hazy Shade Of Winter I want to know ssi alguen it knows x favor answer thank you very much bye
_____Try this. Listen to this song, okay? Then listen to ANY OTHER all-chick band from after the year 1990. Compared to the Bangles, what the Hell are they? Where the Hell are they? Truth is, most chick bands these days can't carry a melody or a note in a titanium bucket. Chick bands these days are all about looking good instead of SOUNDING good too... Hmm, WHERE ARE the chick bands these days? HELL-O!
@Egglesplork What happened to chick bands? Women of the rock scene evolved.
The Wilson Sisters (Heart) were among the first to prove that women can rock just as hard as a man w/o losing their femininity. The Gogos, Bangles and such proved they didn't need men. Once the point was made that they were REAL LEGITIMATE artist. They were incorporated in bands mainly for talent. Currently, It is all about the packaging. Reference Jon Lajoie Pop Song on Youtube.
_____Perhaps I should widen up my statements regarding bands. It's not just women bands that have tanked. It's most all music groups that have tanked since the 1990s--the bringing about of Britney Spears, the Jonas Brothers (or Jonas Sisters, rather) and other artificial Disney-Pop bands. I agree with your point; it IS all about packaging nowadays. I'll listen to Low, Ladytron, HIM, and a few others. To Hell with the mainstream music industry.
Fokking tight musicians! These gals wern't given enough credit for as good a songwriters and preformers as they truly were. As time goes by I appreciate their music even more.
@sawmonkey I was listening to Simon & Garfunkel in the 60s. When the Bangles made that cover in the 80s, it was the damn best cover I've heard of it. A cover almost as original than the original with a new influx of stamina. Believe and old freak those girls were stunning and they were not custom made by a studio executive. The true rock band stuff.
Heres to those of us who lived through graduating in 1982 and wen't down to hell with our coke addiction and some of us actually lived through it and are getting our lives back now.Some of us did survive,but the scars go deep.Won't ever forget them.
@sweettartangirl No, you're suppose to her the lyrics, and see the babes. But if you really wanted the lyrics, click on the down arrow box just to the left of the views count.
always liked the Bangles especially Michael i think these girls are the female equverlant of the Rock Band KISS, thats another brilliant group. might go and see them in March next yr at manchester. nice one here from the Bangles.x
thnx kingofpepsi i always wanted to know the correct lyrics. i can see why the whole band was jealous of susan, she is a hot babe w/those sexy bedroom eyes
Back when "Less Than Zero" came out, I bought the soundtrack, and was jamming to this song in the car with a friend.
I would sing, "CARRY A CUP IN YOUR HAND..."
And he said that I was wrong with the lyrics, and asked why I sang, "CUP". I said because in the song it's freezing, and they're carrying a cup of co-co or coffee!!
He said, no, no, you fool!! It's "CARRY A GUN IN YOUR HAND!! NOT CUP!!'.
I felt embarrassed....turned out that I was correct all along!!!
van, Nope, if you listen closely, you can hear the "up" sound in "cup" in live and studio versions. Anyhow, I don't need you confusing me any further! !
van, I'm sure there are a lot of songs posted with the incorrect lyrics. On this video, click on the (more info) box to the top right. There are the full lyrics.
Read macchlerie's comment, not only is "cup" the real lyric, it makes sense. Simon and Garfunkle weren't into guns! !
van, The reason that I thought my friend was right about "gun" was because of the movie. I figured the drug addicted character (Robert Downey,Jr) had to carry a gun to ward off anyone trying to steal his drugs. It turns out, it was just the Bangles doing a classic cover.
War protest song? That's interesting, "gun" would make perfect sense, too! Now I see where you were coming from.
i'm a huge simon and garfunkel admirer, and although i never cared for the bangles, i was so impressed with their version of this when it first came out that i still like this one now even more than the original.
I remember when I was like 11, thinking this was the coolest song I'd ever heard. My sister had it on a mix tape with all her other 'cool' music (like OMD, New Order, The Smiths, etc)
i've been trying to find this song for years! i only knew the lyrics and couldn't find it anywhere! yesss!
