Here's another on my faves from the distant past, some genuine rockabilly with the Rock-A-Teens. IF it didn't sound so happy, you could call it proto-punk. Some of you will recognize this as the tune that cheesy Japanese girl band did in "Kill Bill vol 1". This is another case where the original was better than the remake.

Ya gotta love the drummer's screams

You know, I went through Disco...all I can say is I'm glad I missed the 50's smile I think. Maybe it was a really "gassn'" time but I'm just not sure! ROFL

That's pretty cool. Back from the era when "plug-and-play" probably had more meaning. smile

But... *hugs his 7 string and Fender Frontman 212 SS combo*

Anyway. smile

Well, the original had much tastier drum work, for sure, and it it has a much more slick feel to it, with the acoustic guitar and the smooth vocal.

The dissonant harmony and edgier performance of the 1-2-3-4's remake has its own character, though, and should be recognized for that.
