A cheapo Windows Movie Maker visualisation of The Troggs 1981 30s gangster-themed single "Black Bottom", taken from the album of the same name. Almost certainly the best 80s LP made by a 60s British Invasion act, surpassing most of their 60s work IMO. Great stripped down production, and loads of great immediate and entertaining songs like this one.

  • I've looked for the chords online but can't find them. Could someone help me out please? Surely they can't just be Em-G etc

  • @NickTamila It goes like this: verse is Em G Em G Em G repeated then ends on B ("gave me such a hell of a fright") Then for the chorus you stay on B and it goes like this: B Em B Em B Em, B Bb A Ab, B# Em B# Em B (hold on B then back to the verse)

  • GREAT classic! I now realize that Nirvana's About A Girl is actually a cover, just the EXACT same chords, really listen -> /watch?v=AhcttcXcRYY

  • @JiS01 I noticed the chord similarity as well.. however I agree with others it's far from a cover. I can play both songs on guitar and it's fun to segue between the 2 songs. Both brilliant songs!

see all

    Indeed, he definitely says "BUGSY" not "PRESLEY"

  • Fucking Yeah

    Like This Song Black Bottom

  • @MrPeguin666 Black Bottom is genius, not crap! Kurt would defitnely have loved it (though obv. about a girl isn't based on it). The Troggs and Nirvana.. both geniuses of rock.

  • @MrPeguin666 Black Bottom ain't crap, it's Genius! Kurt would definitely have loved it. (though obv About a girl wasn't based on it).. The Troggs and Nirvana.. both defining heros of rock and roll.

  • @MrPeguin666 and its just 2 basic chords

  • @JiS01 You are very stupid. I highly doubt Kurt would listen to this shit. Only the first two chords are the same, and nothing else is similar, and to be a cover you need the same lyrics. Are you trolling or just deeply stupid?
