Brian Setzer - Beat Girl - Live!

Big shout-out to FOXWOOD for this clip.
And a big thank you to SeanLaw for telling me "The clip is called 'Beat Girl' from the UK 60's film of the same name. It was composed by John Barry, who also did the 'James Bond' theme. A good choice and Brian plays it well!"

In response to 32Deuces question as to what Brian is covering here, it's 'Beat Girl' from the UK 60's film of the same name. It was composed by John Barry, who also did the 'James Bond' theme. A good choice and Brian plays it well!

vic flick rules! this could have been a brilliant performance ,just needs some attention to detail,have a listen to John Barry's version"un "Beat" able i rest my case.

Wow a really good cover version of the early John Barry classic!

Yo Montag!

Don't know anything about your version - I refuse to take your word, so why not stick your version on youtube - but I have to agree, nobody will ever top Vic's original.

[MontagTheMagician]

Well, probably not, because I play the tune with some soul and some attitude at least. Maybe not as good as the John Barry version. But anybody who thinks that this is in the same ballpark as Vic Flick is just living in a fantasy world.

[Hugechurbes]

Suspect you are not one of them!

[MontagTheMagician]

I could give you a long list of people you never heard of who are great my lad, don't worry.

@MontagTheMagician

Yeah, how come I never heard of you?

[MontagTheMagician]

What I said is still true. I could play it better, and you don't know the greatest R&R band in the world. They're called The Real Kids. They have a few good covers.

I could play this song better than Setzer. I love this song and I don't like Brian Setzer doing it. In fact I was playing this long long before he ever heard of it. I guess it's not quite as bad as Jim Carry playing Curly but almost.
