This song is a mutation on the same jazz number Mel Torme was covering as seen here: http://ontheflip-side.blogspot.com/2009/03/mel-torme-im-coming-home.html<br /><br />But the version this band covers was first done by Mr. Johnny Horton who got a little write-up on the Flip-Side last year: http://ontheflip-side.blogspot.com/2008/12/song-of-week-honky-tonk-hardwood-floor.html#<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this. I know nothing about these guys but really enjoyed the vid.On The Flip-Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319364292191851993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-39955191029060269832009-04-30T10:38:00.000-07:002009-04-30T10:38:00.000-07:00hey Moggie I was immediately reminded of your "agg...hey Moggie I was immediately reminded of your "aggressive bass" and "bottom so big" comments when I stumbled this morning across this video:<br />http://www.mydamnchannel.com/channel.aspx?episode=454gebishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167061104943405436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-75792532508613526262009-04-17T08:42:00.000-07:002009-04-17T08:42:00.000-07:00Jack, you are 100% correct.

He falls off the melody pretty quickly but you can be sure he was listening to Dancing In The Streets when our young Swede was writing his words in English. <br /><br />Now, to point, the fairly dopey lyrics in the Tages song is not what makes the song so great. It's the music. That bass just rumbles along with a nice zero mid-range tone. Each of those bass breaks just floor me every time. Perhaps oddly, I have always loved the bass break at 1:42 which is only two beats of a single note. In context of all the other crazy bass work, this minimalism gives the song a certain map point that is really important, I think.<br /><br />Here are the Vandellas doing Dancing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdvITn5cAVc&feature=related<br /><br />I have to say, Dancing in the Streets is one of my LEAST favorite songs ever. It's just so over done. Heatwave too. Ugh. For real god awful performance of Dancing, search for Mick and Bowie doing it. Yikes that is bad.On The Flip-Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319364292191851993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-19936178716791626462009-04-16T21:07:00.000-07:002009-04-16T21:07:00.000-07:00Hey Ed!

Those really poppy first couple lines are straight out of Dancing in the Street a la Martha and the Vandellas. I would love to hear more of that intro guitar - it helps define the song with a slightly psych edge. I also notice they bookend the song with chords rising at the start and falling at the end.Flipsiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983978215194067317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4497209460362406306.post-74503743598381193462009-04-16T20:43:00.000-07:002009-04-16T20:43:00.000-07:00that is the SONG I'm looking for! thank you.
