She probably has quite a grip.
And a calloused composure.

Last video of the year




Faster than the original, reminds me of Cheech & Chong as "Los Guys" in the ending scene from Cheech & Chong's Corsican Brothers




Still my favorite Chuck Berry song

Our preferred Italian siblings OR couple overdid the surf influence a bit on that arrangement me thinks!  :mrgreen:

Surf sound is something I tire quickly of ... unless of course I'm sufficiently detracted ...

Does this work?



I only posted it - I detest videos with hot babes in cages, it conflicts with my cerebral nature - because it is the last "contemporary" hit I remember with a prominent surf guitar (in the chorus). That it's at least played with a Burns guitar in the vid is a nice touch.

Not as prominent in this live version.



Essentially, Girls Aloud kind of predated the Pussycat Dolls in image, only with more people (allegedly) singing. They came from a UK casting show, but enjoyed some longevity (almost 10 years) and garnered a string (no bun intended) of Top Ten hits which were perhaps a bit more edgy than your usual girl group dance troupe chart fodder. Very much a UK phenomenon though.

Yes, those are visible here. I don't see the connection to the Lovesick Duo's version of Nadine. Sure, their intro sounds somewhat like Wipeout by the Surfaris but it's really just sped up Chuck Berry licks.

I don't think it's a stretch to connect the typical guitar-centric surf sound with the style of Chuck Berry and his contemporaries, and with music of the 60's.

This is a great Junior Brown take on "409" with the Beach Boys.

Surf always sounds a little frantic to me - hence my association. I thought the Lovesick Duo's Nadine too rushed, but I'm no fan of ultrafast music in any shape or form, whether it is Skiffle, Ska or Speed/Thrash Metal. Highway Star is sort of my natural limit. I don't like playing fast-metered music either und I'm not good at it.
