  • Pretty lousy .. compare it to the real Searchers sixties version of Needles.

    They make it a dance tune and got rid of the great guitars. hurt me hurt me.

    So smooth so blah. Smokey Robinson didn't write it.. Jack Neitsche and Sonny Bono co-wrote it.

  • @11xzxzxz Well, so far the vote is 532 to 40 so there are at least 39 others that don't like it either although you are a small minority. Don't fret 11xzxzxz, there are no plans to delete the original.

  • @dbailey62 Ya I understand where you're coming from. I'm quite impressed by the numbers that have actually come to this clip though. It's by far the most viewed Searchers video on the web.

  • @BeelMustaine The Ramones version is "different". Better to some and not better to others. Music is art and is the eye of the beholder. The true definitive version is the Searchers hit version of 1963.

  • Who cares what version is better. That's Tina Ruland!!!

  • I grew up listening to The Searchers and rate their version of Needles and Pins as the best. But this version is just as outstanding and gives the song a fresh sound. Good job.

  • Great video

  • Awesome

  • This one has that original eighties flavor to it, maybe if I heard this first... Still works for me :)

  • @obyx132 Danke schone!

  • @KaptKan1 Tina Ruland a German Actress if you put her name in youtube you probably can find some movies with her

  • Gotta say the 60's version is way ahead of this------

  • @Roxas2D Not true, Mike Pender is still working he is 69 years old, but there were two that has passed, sadly.

    Who is that beauty in the video...please !

  • Very sexy!
