The Detroit Cobras - "Cha Cha Twist" Bloodshot Records

[Meatpox]

This band totally sucks,

[justbeamensch]

If the music is good, who needs the silly video?

[eero2100]

God i love this song so much. I thank Michigan for this band! Also, the drummer for some reason reminds me of Patrick Keeler in a way. A good way in my opinion, that is.

[azzie216]

Meg White has such nice legs. No homo lol

[SteVeThe3rd]

Im only found this cause of Meg White

[xXxJokerManxXx]

Jackass

[andreparra]

HEINEKEN!!!

[touchandgod]

The girl at 1:42 dances like my lezzie best friend.

[HoustonTexasMike]

i like this band but this song is shit! and to anyone who thinks this band is inspirational check your history!!!

[touchandgod]

What the fuck is our problem?

[touchandgod]

@HoustonTexasMike The fuck's your problem?

[HoustonTexasMike]

@touchandgod their a cover band douchebag! How inspirational can they be? Listen to original musicians ass!

[touchandgod]

I have. I like this too. You can like both originals and their covers. Chill.

[69charger440sixpack]

@touchandgod Could you tell me who sings the original that dude is talking about? Thnx.

[CheapAndTasty]

@69charger440sixpack I believe the first recording of this song was Chubby Checker in the 50s, then it's been remade several times over the last 60 years.

[pmfzero]

@HoustonTexasMike - George Thorogood and The Destroyers are a cover band too, but still big fun, especially live!! The man is right - chill...

[candyfreak27]

@HoustonTexasMike So what if its just a cover, cover versions can still be good.. And in this case i (personaly) believe that this cover is better than the original, though thats just me. I dont really give a shit what you think. Hate it, love it or whatever just that if you do hate it then i feel sorry for you, not for hating it but for wasting time insulting this band when they wont even read your bloody comment..

[scarydol]

I don't want to see those 31 people who disliked this video

[Abrohill]

¿por Detroit?

[vitalogy1985]

@Abrohill dales por detroit

[Indiedude57]

Im so glad music is getting creative and inspirational and good again. We need more bands like this.

[HoustonTexasMike]

@Indiedude57 they are a cover band you idiot!

[HoustonTexasMike]

@Indiedude57 they are a cover band you idiot!

[culturevulture123]

Meg White wins at life.

[gtarsk8er]

Detroit is the savior city of music!

[bloodblaster]

i wish there were more Detroit cobras vids out there. this version of this song is good, but the mink rfat rabbit shit is head and shoulders better.

[EyesHaveMiles420]

This shit is.............shit!

[InsertName125]

There's definitely something in that Detroit dirty water.

[equal99equal]

[kirkbzzz123]

The original line up of this band SMOKES this version!!

Steve and Jeff where you at?!?!

[lkgrave]

I keep wondering how many times this video been posted, than yanked, than posted again.

[cheekywun]

probably one of the best cover bands around.

[ToolOfTrade]

Oh great another hipster garage band that seems to realize that the Stooges existed well over 30 years ago....

[Jambo888]

@ToolOfTrade hipster? hahahah.... you couldn't be more wrong

[ToolOfTrade]

@Jambo888 Please stick to Pitchfork, and pretend those pretentious twats know what "good music" seems to be....Don't tell me this is a form of punk either lol.

[miiSsZziiC]

oh yeah ! ;)

[yannoslemanos]

c'est trop bon !!

[TheMaddman78]

cha cha cha

[MikesMusicChannel1]

This is the worst piece of generic cookie cutter garbage I have heard in, oh let's see, maybe a day or two... anyone could've made this. In the 80's there was a word that these clones fit perfectly.... POSER

[122terra]

@MikesMusicChannel1 you r a ass

[clusterboi]

devin o'shin can dance to this

[pamkayvan]

They sing it alright but , it would be better if they really danced the twist. or the Cha, Cha.

[qjohnson]

at 1:29 thats me shking my fat ass

[Nerolus]

@qjohnson LOL thats awesome

[grandeballroom1968]

I thought that once the Grande Ballrom and Eastown Theater music scene died that Detroit rock and roll had died along with them but I am surprized that I am all so wrong about that. Sure glad to see some in that town are still Kicking Out The Jams and no mother fuckers about it; but I still miss all those smokey nights in the Grande and Eastwown, what a wild trip that was to be on and experience.

[TheCarsThatAteParis]

Nice.

[alexander25rugg]

this is how its done.....

[GRandPavisStalker]

Meg is a great Red Riding Hood..... 8P

[237amdotcom]

[buskerbuoy]

[CloudMomotang]

[christlicker]

Lifehouse is WAY better.

[goonbot3030]

[lottakill55]

[cheekymonkey1979]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? Aren't they just a shit Jesus and Mary Chain rip-off?

[MrJamrock20]

I like this tune and the video, check out "Homesick Aldo" punk blues harmonica,

[Lustrum0005]

[mydarkwonderland]

hey thats meg white as little red :D

[pooboohow]

@mydarkwonderland

maybe

[tomhardcore92]

[theclashfan93]

fuck you @motownharry

[motownharry]

@theclashfan93 I only do girls, but if you go to the Greyhound Station I`m sure your desire to have sex with a MAN can fulfilled. Good luck.

[theclashfan93]

fuck you @motownharry

[shanelizard]

I have bad news for everyone who watched this clip and enjoyed it:you were wrong.Don't feel bad. I, too,enjoyed this song until a musical expert pointed out that it was shit.Thank you,motownharry,thank you.

I have seen the light!

[motownharry]

Your right, 40yrs in the business does give one the right to be called an expert.

[shanelizard]

my guru! tell me what to like next!!! please?

[motownharry]

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is the band, the cut you need to hear is Rock and Roll. Not a COVER BAND to be sure. Now don`t deprive yourself of something good because you don`t like my comments. Tell you what, if you listen to them and honestly say they are not a good, I will pull my neg comments.

[lkgrave]

Is it me or does this video gets yanked off YouTube one week and then put back the next?

[gr8guitar69]

@lkgrave What is Joe Mazzola Lead Guitar of Sponge doing playing Bass in this Band? Times must be bad.....

[lkgrave]

Sorry, too busy listening to this song and watching Meg White to answer you.

[motownharry]

Naming this group the detroit cobras is like calling PEE WEE HERMAN the INCREDIBLE HULK, never hear anything so weak........

[motownharry]

I am so embarassed to say I`m from Detroit after listening to this SHIT. From Sponge to this SHIT JOE?? What the hell are you thinking?? I guess if you got mouths to feed it`s the money that counts, `cause it sure as hell could`nt be because of the sound, I was going to say because of the music, but I don`t think I could prove it was music. But I must say the singer is good...... very good. But Joey Mazzola on Bass is like Hendrix playing TUBA in the Salvation Army Band.

[shanelizard]

trolling once,trolling twice and... fail:(

[motownharry]

Not sure what trolling infers to but if you think I`m trying to get someone to defend the band and get some shit started it`s not the case. I don`t care if you or anyone respondes to what I say, I`m just so surprized to see a talent like Joey wasting away in that slugge. I am from Detroit and Moved to Mt. Clemens and met Joe back in 72. He was the hottest kid around. At 19 he taught guitar at Massamino`s in Detroit. I played with him in `99 & dated his sis Rose & Diane. He`s good they SUCK, OK?

[motownharry]

I`m sure Joe would rather be playing LEAD on one of his Vintage Guitars in a BAND like Sponge, and seeing him relicated to the bass in the rythme section of a cover band just to have a job makes me sick. I`m a Detroit Musician, not a groupie. I have been in the music business for 40yrs, now doing booking and special events in Fla. and I see what happens to Great Players and it makes me upset to see this happen to any musician, let alone someone I know and respect as one of DETROIT`S BEST.......

[fanfulladalodi79]

@motownharry ah ah fuck you, if you don't like this band don't bother anymore.

[whenryanattacks]

was that joan jett at 1:39? also meg white's little red riding hood- wooooo!

[Kiwiiex]

Now I've watched this video I think that the singer of "The Galaxy Asteroid Tour" looks so much like the once of Detroit Cobras.

[gboutilier]

Can't wait to see these guys at the Drive Invasion!!

[RockinGator]

Oh yeah... one day away.

[REIKYLICIOUS]

hahahaha,..lady gaga and the jonas brothers,...lol

[benjamanbird]

Meg White is litte red riding hood

[yappa08]

this video version is so much better than the album version.

[Fernandobez]

She and her voice are unbelievable sexy.

[matthew71314]

Once again why Detroit is the center of music. I'm from D-town but am living in the Seattle area. Detroit just breeds great music, period. Everyone else has to play catch up. I guess it's all the Vernors and coneys :)

[statelybird3]

That's the truth,Ruth!

[stimfalides]

sixties spirit all over

[timgoodrich]

This is awesome....old meets new....

[PAMILANDA]

At the Magic Stick this weekend!!!!!!

[nextrisk]

[Melcat96]

0:38 - 0:39 Meg White as Little Red Riding Hood

[mamboobiebill]

Holy root! How good is this song yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[motownharry]

HEY BLUESKYHUNTER, IF they are so Fuckin` good where`s something THEY wrote?? I can teach a fuckin` Monkey mimick shit, they are a bunch of OLD NEVER BEENS. Shit Joey Mazolla is 54 and he`s only playing with them for the MONEY. Do you think a guy with Joeys` talent on Guitar would play that tired shit if they didn`t pay him Twice as much as that GIMMICKY, no Bass playin` skagg they use to "USE" ? When he warms up I`m sure he breaks out with CHA-CHA to get his Groove On. You eat a hot dog bitch !

[TheEthanSays]

Meg White is so damn cute as little red riding hood.

[EllYouSeeWhy]

[jimmysmierc]

wooooooooooooooow

[wolfangoamedomonti]

Long life to Chubby Checker, the godfather of twist!

[gilgamess]

The story of the Twist extends beyond Checker (Ernest Evans). Most responsible for the popularity of the Twist, Chubby Checker, no doubt. However, the song was written by Hank Ballard (flipside of "Teardrops On Your Letter"), based on a song by Clyde McPhatter and sung by the Drifters, "Whatcha Gonna Do". THIS song is based on a Gospel song of the same name. Ballard got the line, "Cmon baby..." from a Gospel musician.

Not fussin', just talkin,' as my Godmother would say.

[mtwallet]

acutally, the DC covered the version of Brice Coefield

[MrFisherMichigan]

How the hell did they talk you into this!

[tanztante]

lol, i didn't even know that she was part of the band....

[jaxxrab]

I watched this video cos I like The Detroit Cobras, I didnt know that Meg White appeared in the video, and i didnt knew it until I read your post, so I am one of this "anybody" people...

[lkgrave]

No. I'm just going by what the majority of the comments were saying about it. That's all. I think it's a good song and a great vid but I didn't know about it until I "Wikipedia'd" Meg's bio. If you're a fan of the DC. That's cool. They're actually a really good band.

[ChickHabitHolly]

At LEAST watch it because Eugene Strobe is the big bad wolf, geeze.

(no, but really, REALLY listen to the Cobras, kthnx)

[lkgrave]

This is a really good song and a cute vid. I'm wasn't taking anything away from them with my Meg White comment (even though most of these comments concern her). I "discovered" this band for myself after reading Meg's Wikipedia bio and now have several their songs on my iPod.

[pdopedZnO]

good drums.

[colabacio]

they are responsible for me reforming my old band just for fun

proper tunes

[pixiegamine]

Lil' Meg as Red riding hood! Its so perfect! She's so adorable shy!

[Ultraviolins]

This band is absolutely amazing live.

[ciollaaa]

love this song!!

[ForSafetyReasons]

Love the Detroit Cobras!

The Slum <3

[sarkansarkan]

Meow, Meg..... I didn't like the music tho. The atmosphere was nice.

[Riccarrrdo]

it's spelled "t-h-o-u-g-h".

[stratosonico]

she has lovely legs

[jagad52]

Just found this band and I like it a lot!! They are ....."Venomous"

[IsaOliver]

According to Wikipedia, the Red Riding Hood character in this video is Meg White of White Stripes--cool, huh?

[lkgrave]

I wonder if that is Jack playing the Big Bad Wolf.

[lux911]

same here lol
