The Spongetones play a cover of Searchers' "Needles and Pins". This video was recorded in 1980 during their legendary WCNC sessions when the Spongetones were still a cover band.

  • dang now that was good we need more music like this...!

  • @Veekator TONY JACKSON SAID HE USED A HOFNER BEATLE BASS BECAUSE PAUL MCGEAR DID

  • @spacepatrolman you are correct I just saw the Turtles video. All these years & I never knew. I played a Hofner violin copy back in the day too..But I was alway a drummer 1st .Thanks and have a Merry Christmas & Killer New Year!

  • @Palandy33 yea mike is a truely great singer and he looks like the composer maurice jarre

  • @Veekator hofner had violin shaped guitars the guy in the turtles had one

  • @Veekator Neither do I. Anyway, it's a great cover and the Rick is very amazing !

    Happy Holidays ;)

  • @tatethompson1234 I saw the Ramones live in 1979? They were their own thing for sure..I also saw Split En & Elvis Costello in 1980? I also saw ACDC with Bon

    Scott. plus I met Cheap Trick back stage just as they were getting popular..

    If I only knew then what I know now…

  • @PinballCrusader You are correct, the Ric is the bass. I just have never seen a Hofner H500/1-CT violin bass set up as a 6 string guitar.The bass player has a McCartney look going for him..lol Happy Holidays!!

  • @Veekator I think it's a guitar (look at the way he plays) !

    The bass player is the one with the Rickenbacker !

  • @Palandy33 Thats your opinion,to me The Ramones made the perfect version. They gave more life in it.
