I've always loved this song--I can remember once when the Princess was really small--maybe four?--they were over here and she began singing "Give me the beat boys and free my soul" (with great pitch and said all the words right!) out of nowhere--I think Smashmouth or one of those groups Bubba listens to had done a cover and she learned it that way--but NOBODY does it right except Dobie Gray. Thank you. <3
p.s. speaking of covers, one of the videos I looked at said it was the Doobie Brothers, but it wasn't. Ooops. Doobie .. Dobie ... what's the diff? Pretty soon someone will say it's Dobie Gillis. Remember that? ;)
Truthfully? I wish at YouTube people would say in all caps COVER--I've gotten stuck listening to some very strange stuff because they didn't mention it was a cover--
I am a Midwestern professional woman with a passion for laughter, art, literature, music, history, volcanoes, the natural world, and the stars. I have a grown daughter who aspires to be an artist, and whose works you may see here from time to time. I hope to share thoughts with people who have similar interests and don't mind a little nonsense.

ReplyDeleteLoL My first comment disappeared for some reason. And now I can't remember what it was, except for "nobody, indeed."

ReplyDeleteFair: Where does the term "cover" come from?
