Listener comments!
6:09am : "EEt's alive!" mornin' all.6:13am : present! only just6:16am : 'burgs, your presence is appreciated.6:47am : play super strummer6:52am : is this code? Or cold?7:11am : well, the sunz-up (est).7:51am : @ "eyes" was a light , fast-paced song in a 1930-140's movie-
"Goldiggers" possibly?7:56am : more like the 50's version. Good call, though.8:02am : Having heard the Flamingos version first,
It was hard to imagine it not being a lighthearted song originally.
The Flamingos seem to "own" it now-and for good reason-8:09am : check out a scene in "The Right Stuff", with The Flamingos song. Really cool.8:17am : Ah-The Original was 1934:
"I Only Have Eyes for You" is a popular song by composer Harry Warren and lyricist Al Dubin, written in 1934 for the film Dames where it was introduced by Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler.8:21am : thanks 3D!8:25am : "I Only Have Eyes For You" was sung by Dick Powell to Ruby Keeler on (a studio set of) the Staten Island Ferry in 'Dames', a Busby Berkeley film that appeared in 1934, inbetween 'Gold Diggers of 1933' & 'Gold Diggers of 1935'. The song also featured in a big production number sung by a female chorus and featuring a silent Ruby Keeler and many multiple identically dressed 'Rubys'. Both versions were fairly light and much faster than The Flamingos' recording.8:30am : who needs Wikipedia? I have you guys. Soo, Busby Berkley had the orig., or was it Berkley who arranged The Flamingos. Oh, never mind.8:40am : "eyes: really translated well into a slow, mysterious ballad.
I once heard a quiet, slow cover of Led Zeps version of "Whole lotta Love"..it worked well actually, and the thorny lyrics were still present- it beautuful, and bemusing too-
too (!)
But the flamingo's cover od "eyes" is sublime- tks !8:43am : I second that emotion.8:47am : Amazing! Did Macca just transmogrify into Beefheart or the other way round? (Momentarily at least, at the end of that Fireman track.) Bert Jansch RIP.8:48am : Eh, FrankEE! Good morning to you my brother.8:50am : Listening in Oz. Great show. We Cant Live Together blew me away.8:52am : Bert Jansch, thanks for the memory.
MOz: McCartney still has tricks up his sleeve (with Youth).
Sam, glad you checked in.
ugo: glad you dug it.8:52am : Another Warren/Dubin song (also famously used in a Busby tripfest) that works well in later slowed-tempo treatments is Lullaby of Broadway.8:54am : by Bram Tchaikovsky?8:55am : I'm with you Frankie, wikipedia not necessary. It's important to actually know stuff and not be addicted to the internet.8:58am : Thanks, Frank. Nice.8:58am : tks- and have a good week all-8:59am : Never heard Bram's. I think Bette Midler has done both languid and peppy versions.
Last portion of show nice....will check the archivy rest.8:59am : thanks for the comments, seeya next week, same webcast, same time.
