The Unpleasants trash Ebony Eyes by The Everly Brothers

aka 'The Dead Girl Song'.

From a recently-uncovered camcorder tape, recorded at The Beanery in Dearborn, MI. Poor audio, video (and performance) quality! But, hey -- we never claimed we were any good. Why do you think we're called The Unpleasants?

Climbed back on my chair, wiping coffee off the computer screen, still choking on laughter!!!!

[It's just a bit of humor .... even the Everly call it "the deadly medley"] !!!!

What a relief. Sounds like you haven't yet retained a lawyer...

Thanks for your comment.

what kind of a fool would this.this is not funny.i hope and pray that everyone who listening would call or write to prevent you from using you tube to put on our trashing junk.i hope some one will take legal action against you foolish acts

What an eloquent post! Perhaps you should consider learning English as a second language, and then learn the use of subjects & verbs to express a complete thought. Also, there's a key on most keyboards that allows you to include capital letters in your rants, to enhance readability.

Don't like it? Fine. I even allowed you to say so, in spite of the glaring inarticulateness the illustrates your level of intelligence.

Lighten up and look up the word "parody", which I have spelled for you...

Don & Phil are in a category by themselves, no question about it. Nobody does EB harmony better, without question.

There are, however, specific songs by other duos that I find equally-exquisite, and/or more interesting from a harmony standpoint.

SACRILEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UnpleasantChuck]

Hope you realize that this was as much a tribute as it was a stab at humor. We LOVE the EB -- used to play Bye Bye, Love too, and we played it straight.

The Everlys were a big influence in developing an ear for harmony. Few did it better!

There were parodies of 'Ebony Eyes' going around in the Sixties. I believe that's one reason why the Everlys didn't like to perform it live - It would have been "deadly" if they had cracked up onstage! I wish people would lighten up and enjoy this for what it is - a song parody.

@UnpleasantChuck : Of course you're right, Chuck. I was just being a little Unpleasant!
