The classic Deep Purple song "Speed King" remixed by Roger Glover is included in their anniversary edition of album "Deep Purple In Rock" and it's the 18th track.I really like this version of the song and it wasn't in youtube so I upload it.Hope you like it too!

Lyrics:

Good golly, said little miss molly
When she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti frutti was oh so rooty
When she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it

I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save
Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to new Orleans


Personnel:
Ritchie Blackmore - guitar
Ian Gillan - vocals
Roger Glover - bass
Jon Lord - organ
Ian Paice - drums

  • The original mix was much better. Gillan's fantastic screamed laughter from 4:10 to 4:20 has been lost in the mix, and can hardly be heard.

    It's truly the high point of the song.

    Nevermind, thanks for posting.

  • @key2kingdom In my opinion, to all the remixed songs in this edition of "in Rock" have been given more emphasis to instruments' sound than vocals..

    Also, I have to agree with the "Gillan's fantastic screamed laughter", which can be hear a lot better in the original one.

    Anyway, thanks for highlighted the fact.

  • Look, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Purple, the Who, Alice Cooper, etc., are all fucking immortal, stop arguing and comparing. Fact is, bands like Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Purple got along with one another and didn't compare themselves to others, because they each had their own distinct style. None of them worried about who was best, so why should any of us? It's pointless.

  • This song is one of my fav songs. I don't think zeppelin was better than these guys! Though most of my friends think so..

  • 5 YEAR'S OLD AND I KNOW WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS!

  • @halo9449 Why are you sorry for the harsh words? You said nothing harsh, you just spoke about something that you and I do not know.

    I don't even see what your brther's death has to do with a youtube comment about Deep Purple. But I mean in all honesty if your brother just died I think that stupid youtube's comments are the last thing you should be concerned about...

  • @Zoso709 Re-reading my comments, perhaps I flew off the handle a bit, but you have to understand that I'm still grieving my brother's (recent) death, and anything about him is emotionally wounding right now. I'm sorry for the harsh words.

  • @Zoso709 Can't really speak for Purple, but there was no bad blood whatsoever between Zeppelin and Sabbath, as stated by band members themselves.

    So fuck you and fuck your know-it-all bullshit attitude, sad thing is I wouldn't have ever seen this atrocious comment of your had he not asked me to manage his email affairs in his roughed-out will and testament.

    Have a nice day, jerkoff.

  • @Zoso709 Glad to see a lowlife loudmouth motherfucker like yourself searching ages-old comments to call my deceased brother an asshole. There wasn't any justification for that, you prick.

    He knew that the same way I did- by picking up a fucking book or two about any of those three bands and reading a bit. Though I suspect you're mentally incapable of reading anything more than a few sentences. Bet ya didn't know Ozzy and Bill Ward would jam with Zep while Plant and Bonham would jam with Sabbath.

  • @EpicUnderpants Purple's great but Zeppelin's the best.

  • Respond to this video...

  • @Halo9445 Fact is Zeppelin was in another league of Sabbath and Purple, and I'm sure there was an intense rivalry and amount of jealousy between one another. How do you know what they did? asshole.
