Beat International - Dub Be Good To Me (Guns of Brixton)

[mtrickett1]

[joshuasweeney]

Wicked cover.

[datboymark77489]

this is horrible if its not broke dont fix it

[petahearn]

ace tune :P good old days

[aabskur]

@ cptrubberpants: It is his band. Off course his sound breaks through. Check out his other bands. Housemartins, Freak Power and as Fat Boy Slim.

The Housemartins was progressive people, and when they broke up, other members created "Beautiful South". They are legends to me, and I know so little :-(

[cptrubberpants]

Oh cool! I like Freak Power..I never knew he was in it though. Thanx for that bit of info!

[KNARIEPOT69]

great tune, classic bassline, the cute only can't ride da riddim....still cute

[cptrubberpants]

Can anyone spot Fatboy Slim? Cheers!

Great song. The harmonica sample is from "Once Upon A Time In The West" composed by Ennio Morricone, the harmonica is played by Charles Bronson in the film.

[delfino78]

You can crush us

Oh-the guns of Brixton

[larsplaysthefish]

Norman Cook = Fatboy Slim!

[akinplus1]

Reminds me of when music was made in the UK, now most of the kids are just crazy

[impartial67]

absolutely correct.. I miss the 90's

[keleks99]

Im loving the nineties style dancing from the woman lol!

[LUNAPOLICE]

Norman cook is a faggot, but i like this song anyway

[meursault07]

hahahaha! he has probably screwed more girls that you have dreamt of but yeah, he looks a bit funny. not sure he is gay, just english :D (besides, who cares)

[fraybentos666]

[scraderz20]

TOP TUNE

[chocastarfish69]

Wot a fucking brama tune !!! Reminds me of bein a kid again like!!!!!

[wilzarbruton]

i love the sampled bassline :D

[KOALAsounds]

FUCK THIS IS BRILLIANT

[StonefieldJim4]

God I had such a crush on Lindy Layton. Yum.

[shaunshunt]

joe strummer had imput on this tune as a 0good mate of norman cook (fatboy dim!)

good ol tune tho!!

[TMundo]

Wasn't Fatboy Slim in this group?

[plutie]

yes he was. or .. he formed it.

[plutie]

he formed it

[carpal24]

He was in the House Martins.

[Gaffer96]

Still have the 12 inch of this kicking about.

Didn't like the SOS bands version but loved Guns of Brixton

[flexpunk]

memories :) are so cool

[Oli3TB76]

For anyone that doesn't know, this sampled only the bassline of the Clashs 'guns of Brixton'

both songs are great ok, although i do think this is better

[soNervig]

not to forget "Just be good to me" from S.O.S.

I prefer the originals, but this is still good, has another atmosphere.

[Oli3TB76]

Of course

They've shown how you can take 2 good songs and make 1 great song IMO

[pmanngw]

This song was great - until The Clash came along and copied it and ruined it.

[chl182]

Fuck!!! They copied The Clash!!! And the clash's version is way better

[lightningsid]

i prefer this version to the sos band the singer is so hot as well she reminds of lisa stansfield this must of been at n1 at least 6 weeks in the top of the pops days

[Peter20UK]

anybody know the bass tab for the bassline, been trialing and erroring for ages now and can't get it to sound right... trying to get it for a jam session....

[helicoptersrkool]

It's the same as the ''Guns of Brixton'' bass tab by The Clash, google search it, only you have to go an octave higher. Listen to the song while playing an you'll see what i mean.

[Peter20UK]

Yeah i try that, but it doesn't sound right still... might fiddle witht he effects a bit...

[Peter20UK]

awesomje tune, first heard it when i was at school, been trying to find it for YEARS since. still awesome track, great mood to it

[scotchqueen]

Shhiiit this takes me back

[SusannaG74]

good memories to this song

[mascatube]

This was the first song I heard whem I arrivied in Europe (Munich) 26/05/90. Still in my mind. good one.

[tomlemes]

This is still *so* good! In fact I reckon it's got better! I didn't realise how hot she was when I first saw this (probably because I was about 11!) - love that dance

[asgardreien]

she's a bit egocentric though isn't she 'i don't care what you do to THEM just be good to ME' skin em alive, stab em whatever, just be good be to me LOL

[AboveSuspicion]

Well, 'just be good to everybody' doen't sound that catchy, does it?

[asgardreien]

got to agree with you there ;)

[bandiflip]

Fat boy slim........why is he so good at everything he does??

[Dannysince1985]

Are there any musicians out there that feel they would like to help me with my dissertation by answering a few questions, obviously music related? please message me.

[Oli3TB76]

how can anyone not like this?!?!

[cawsone]

joe strummer i'm sure would love this as i do. love it

[ClareH29]

remember a friend buying me this on single for my 12th birthday! still love it!

[haydenhan4]

this takes me back to the good old days

[TheAnxiousMan]

Joe Strummer would be turning in his grave... probably.

[darewon]

Well, he got paid for it. And no he wasn't anti-sampling---check his appearances post Clash with Big Audio Dynamite on No 10 Upping Street album with Mick Jones.

[samfisha]

Well said mate, he was never afraid of change. A proper legend.

[gryphon39]

i'm pretty sure Paul Simonon wrote the song either way.

[MarmeladoButaforija]

Stiligna daina )

mmmm...

[harrynicholas]

Just in case you don't know - the harmonica riff is from Once Upon A Time In The West, a film worth checking out if only for the title sequence of Ron Ely trying to catch a fly with his six-gun.

[duffpaddy70]

old scool but, hot like all the old scool

[fily56et64]

check the version with shabba ranks on rumours riddim! mash up

[CptRobotB61]

what a tune mon

[paddyrathmines]

yeah, were is lyndy layton now. she was in press gang with dexter fletcher and julia sawalyia, norman cook, oh yea, he became mrs zoe ball lol

[ESTRELLA190985]

[isafany]

love this song.

sos band + the clash <3

[itstherevolution]

this is jaaaaaaaam hot! yes yes with the old skool, i love this tune man soo many memories, even though i was just a kid when this was kicking!

[locochilli]
