Everytime I hear this song, I throw up in disgust

[Frantic]

Add Summertime and Little Latin Lupe Lu to oft-covered songs that suck no matter who recorded them.

Billy Stewart's version of Summertime still rules. I kinda like the Righteous Bros. version of Little Latin Lupe Lu.

 

[Lee de Parade]

Nonono Måns, you need to get me drunk to make me like You Pooped A Doo. If you buy me beers all night on hmmm, lezzay the 20th this month, I'd take it under kind consideration.

Billy Stewart's version of Summertime still rules. I kinda like the Righteous Bros. version of Little Latin Lupe Lu.

Billy sounds like he is in desperate need of some local anesthetics. Or maybe he's got like a thousand hairs on his tongue just before he entered the studio.

 

[Frantic]

Yeah, that sucks. Midnight Hour is also pretty bad.

How can one not like Wilson Pickett's version of In The Midnight Hour? The original and still the best.

 

[Derf66]

The Wanted & Watchband with Agilar vocals are pretty good too!

 

[tymespan]

The Elegants - Ooh Poo Pah Doo = great
The Namelosers - Land of a 1000 Dances = great
The Leaves of Grass - Summertime = great
Rick Nelson - Summertime = great
...

Ricky Nelson's version of Summertime rules. The Blues Magoos thought so too.

TYMESPAN!! Love your review in RYM! Thanks!

The ONLY version of this you'll ever need.

Nothing, though, can be worse than "Mashed Potatoes."

Very true. Shotgun ain't too hot either.

The 409 do a great Born in Chicago.

Mike & the Dimensions' Little Latin Lupe-Lu is a killer version!

 

[Frantic]

Very true. Shotgun ain't too hot either.

What about Jr. Walker? yer killin' me

 

[Mr.Segment]

I was talking about garage versions.

 

[Derf66]

Never heard that one either, but I am guessing I won't like it! Is it the white boy trying to do the blues factor that makes this song so lame? I can't figure it out.

Mike & the Dimensions' Little Latin Lupe-Lu is a killer version!

I agree on this 100%

 

[Frantic]

I always had a problem with Ya Ya.

 

[Frantic]

Shortnin' Bread...Even the good versions aren't that good.

Another song a lot of garage groups covered that really doesn't work is "Over the Rainbow" - the Gants even played it live at Cavestomp, though it actually prompted some of their wives/old school fans to get up and dance while the younger garage fans took a step back.

I agree with Derf about the Raiders doing a quite enjoyable "Ooh Poo" (that whole side of the first Raiders LP on Columbia rules), as well as the Wanted's pulsating take on "Midnight Hour".

 

[soundog III]

This version defines pedestrian till the break, and then BAM WHANG WALLOP SCREEEEEEESCHXXSXCCCHHH.

Post that all too brief interlude it's back to dooo.

 

[Dominic]

The label always cracks me up on this one.

 

[HarvestmanMan]

I don't really like most Bobby Sherman stuff, but that goes without saying.

 

[EXPO67]

these versions kill

You must be taking the piss.

Ooh Poo Pah FUCKIN Doo.

Is there any more irritating suck-ass song? Is there? Is there any more irritating fuck-ear song? Any more IRRITATING!?
My relationship with fratty tracks are at best strained, but Ooh Poo Pah Doo throws me into a raging FIT!
I wouldn't be so nasty about it if it wasn't that this choad-nimbling atrocity shows up on comps like Northwest Killers. KILLERS!?!? I thought the KILL-part would make me a happy victim with happy blood running out my ears, not an UNHAPPY one with self-emptying intestines due to shit-imploring self-mutilating crap-chuunes.

FUCK Ooh Poo Pah stink-nugget Doo!!!

Lest we forget, there's always recourse to Part II if Part I doesn't fully do the trick:
