I awoke this morning with an ear worm, for no discernible reason. So I am going to share it with you all. Eddie Cochran, 1958, Summertime Blues http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeWC59FJqGc&feature=related

Enjoy.

I awoke this morning with an ear worm, for no discernible reason.

I see that the alien microwave beaming agents have gone undetected.

I suspect it is my teenage neighbors down the road.
Must. Find. Tinfoil. Headgear.

The Who’s version was the best.

[La Lydia]

I have listened to them all this morning. Eddie Cochran’s remains the best. But Brian Setzer’s version is my second choice. The Who’s is OK, Blue Cheer’s is OK, Alan Jackson’s is OK. But the original is hard to beat for its purity and drive. Also, I prefer that my musicians aren’t totally drugged out when they record a song.

[Le Chien Rouge]

I like the WHO’s version but I prefer Blue Cheer’s a little more.

I told my congressman and he said quote, “I’d like to help you son but you’re too young to vote.”

[La Lydia]

My favorite line.

For all you nay sayers, Eddie’s version was THE best back in the day. I know because I was there:). I suppose you guys would trash such classics as “Stranded in the Jungle” also.
