Black Kids - Egyptian Shumba

Black Kids in the studio recording the insane screamer Egyptian Shumba (2008).

Egyptian Shumba was written by Lou Christie and Twyla Herbert. Check out Lou Christie (Lightnin' Strikes) http://louchristiefanclub.com

Check out The Tammys' mind-blowing original version of Egyptian Shumba (1963) http://tinyurl.com/lgtp5

Pitchfork Media: The Tammys bop hard and bratty, but by the chorus they're literally growling, barking, and squealing like sexed-up hyenas; in the bridge you can hear them shudder and jerk their way into a frenzy. It's their party and they'll scream if they want to.

Don't tamper with perfection.

It makes the bass use its strange tone area....The strings don't same original in those positions.Reversed.

wack. they shouldn't have messed with the original...

[brirecords]

A truly horrible cover of a great record. Demonstrates fully why great musicians and singers were needed to make great records in the 60's . Now anyone who can sort of play and / or sing can waste a lot of time and not come close to the excitement of the original record which was most likely recorded in less than 3 hours............

[tyronethedino]

did they break up?, are they writing at all?
