Title: Elephants Memory
Post by: EvilLordJuju on August 18, 2009, 06:30:51 AM

on the subject of Lennons bands (previous thread), anyone know Elephants memory?

In particular a song they did called Jungle Gym at the Zoo (it was used in Midnight Cowboy)

As far as I can tell the bassist was a guy called Myron Yules (he seems to have left before they backed Lennon) - such a fantastic song, and a crazy bassline. This song has been in my head for decades now, yet is SOOOOOOO underated in my opinion. It isn't even on youtube.

when i saw elephants memory they had two bass players. that could account for many crazy bass lines.

That is a cool bassline!

ahh excellent

Yeah, the whole song could have turned into an overplaying mess, but because they did it so tightly, the result is fantastic.
