Any relation? Dick Dale ~ Misirlou (Pulp Fiction)

Used in a well known sportswear's 60th anniversary ad campaign, it was also remixed and covered by some nonentities. However original is best and one of their three best recordings along with The Night and Down The Hall

Beggin / The Four Seasons

covering The Cramps' '79 classic (rather splendidly + successfully in an advert for a certain japanese car manufacturer) ...

'Human Fly' ~~ Hanni El Khatib

Love is Strange - Mickey & Silvia - recorded 1956/Dirty Dancing 1987

OK, I'll take the klaxon....

You've lost that lovin' feelin' - The Righteous Brothers

The only track to enter the top 10 three times, the last time because of "Unchained Melody" in the film 'Ghost'

DC

"Feel The Need" - Detroit Emeralds

First charted in 1973 and following extensive airings at the Waltzers on Anstruther's pier, it charted again in 1977.

Adam, nice shout... and the reason behind it's second lease of life was due to public demand in the Kingdom LOL.

This is quite often the issue with regularly repackaged themes, so easily confused!

Re-released, Movie Hits, Ad Tunes, Second Time Around etc. The last one was Shalamar b.t.w.

FRIDAY



Man of Constant Sorrow - Rod Stewart


Well, we've heard everyone else sing it! From Rod's debut album, An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down


>8-D

People Are Strange - Echo & The Bunnymen

Good cover of the Doors song for the 1980s movie The Lost Boys

Al.

And another klaxon...

Marvin Gaye's version of I heard it through the grapevine was a hit in 1986 due to two adverts:

Levi's "Launderette" and the dancing Californian Raisins.

OK, I know that the raisins didn't play Marvin's song, but it must have helped sales

Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
Lou Reed - Pefect Day
Madonna - ray Of light (ie Sephryyn or whatever that old track was)

and taking back his own song:

Broooooooce - Because The Night

After having a beer those disco ants just had to put one of Harry Wayne Casey's classics on the turntable, sounded like a good party.

Get Down Tonight / KC & The Sunshine Band

Ah fancy a beer now.....

Al.

I Feel Free - Cream

Was re-made, identically, for Levi's ad in the 80's and charted again.

Also,

Spirit In the Sky - Norman Greenbaum I tink this has charted at least three times but the original recording from 70/71 is still the bees knees.

Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye - Steam this has charted a couple of times too - the original remains world class, one of only two number 1's to prominently feature the xylophone.

That'll do.

regardez - youse

henri

Think Bryan missed this last time around as Vic was on duty...
Heard this great version of the song in the Nic Cage version of the film Bad Lieutenant...
(Please) 'Release Me' - by Johnny Adams (from 1968)


American Idol:

Simon Cowell may have brought us Mr Blobby but he loves this song, which has been sung at auditions...

'Up To The Mountain' - Solomon Burke (with Patty Griffin)

Staying with American Idol...Scotch may be surprised/disappointed to hear that I first heard this song sung by a not-very-good singer on the show:

'Something To Talk About' - Bonnie Raitt

The Commitments would be a film that opened up a whole new world of music to some and had them looking for the original versions:

'Destination Anywhere' - The Marvelettes
'Mr Pitiful' - Otis Redding

... courtesy of The British Heart Foundation's CPR Campaign ...

'Staying Alive' ------ Bee Gees

Rock & Roll Heart - Eric Clapton - used in T-mobile ad
