Im 61 im glad i had cooler older foster brothers and sisters and cool foster parents the flying burritos pink floyd and so many other bands shaped me into the person and man i am now music mainly punk rock did save my life

Young tiger is my grandpa aka George browne

Really sad they didn't stay together longer.

OK Warren was down in Hawaii roughing it ..down with the poor CIA agents getting kicked out of Latin America...singing a lament for the plight of those poor unfortunate CIA Operatives..but making it sound funny Just like Donald Fagen would do a couple of years later on the Goodbye Look I really have empathy for the poor unfotunate CIA AGENTS whose easy lifes got disturbed How on earth did they survive

Great story from Andy..what an intro..WZ obviously approved

Great story from Andy...what an intro

Magnatone Amp also used by Neil young and lonnie mack😊

Tommy was a friend of my family---was at our house for suppers and snowmobiling --really a sweet guy

Wow! Just when I thought I heard it all and knew about Tommy Collins....this is a delightful gem 💎 that is well written and performed for sure 😊

Thanks for putting this up. Haven't heard it in years. And good old Andy Kershaw for getting Louon on to his programme so often and giving us even more reason to fall in love with his music!

Just sound like my Dad talks voice

Tories out

This.

Melted tar int street,what global warming shite 😧

Wonderful

Great story

This song and Zevon's music resonate with servicemen, especially those who have seen war or who are/were special ops.

Finally he made it to the hall of fame. It's only 2023

I just listened Dave Dudley version one week ago. I liked it so much, I play it twice a day since then.

Six miles far from Dave Dudley version.

Apparently this man died in 2007. Kinda hard to imagine what he thought about the music of his late years

This is my favourite version. Just, wow.

Another mini masterpiece from LWlll.

Nice

woo! goddamn these boys!!!

Lived there and drove trucks and entering the city with that song and all of that area really put a piece of American in you and the fall of a great place and the last part of the song is incredible.

@Michelle Hansen: If you mean that especially this version is the best version of all... thank you for nothing. Westcoast "tiko-tako" version in real bad quality. Take a look at Sawyer Brown please. Or listen to Chris Hillman with the Desert-Rose-Band.

His bebop scatting is ironically pretty darn good lol

this is what happens when you tell your friend to Freestyle rap 1:06

That’s a great fuckin song but I’m confused why hank Williams is involved 🤷‍♀️

head fulla acid version

Could be spoons full of diamonds Could be spoons full of gold Or both.

So glad to be able to Pull this up and here my grandfather’s voice❣️🙏🏾

A Day At The Lake 🏖️ favorite

Is this Burritos original or did someone else wwite it?The best version by far is on the Gram Parson live -73.

Love this version and long may thevwork of Blackwell to remind folk that manners of knobhead garage staff need to exercise the same manners courtesy to the non petrol consumer. I'd plump for several magic tree type fresheners and then depending on the prevailing mood of usually ill mannered idle twat serving get an assortment out only to break it to him I'd forgotten my wallet and he needs to be arsed with putting whatever i asked for back as i walk off much to his or her dismay. There's a lesson for staff of such overpriced crap im 24 garages to exercise basic humility. X🎸👍👍🎤🙏🎵

Thank you for the inspiring music.

The music he's parodying doesn't sound at all modern or outrageous today.

Some crazy old bat on coast to coast radio called in and said this is the best version

This modern music's got me confused, To tell you friends I'm quite unenthused. This modern music's got me confused, To tell you friends I'm quite unenthused. I like Pee Wee Hunt or the great Count Basie But can’t make head nor tail of this Dizzy Gillespie With his Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! Dizzy Gillespie is the creator Of this new style along in co with Charlie Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Howard McGhee - They all indulge in this monstrosity They take a major seventh and a flated ninth Two ool-ya-koos and a half a pint Then Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! The beboppers you see around They all converse in a special tongue "Ool-ya-koo" and "eel-ya-da" One means "hello", the other "ta ta". They call a man "a cat" and a girl "a chick", And they're up to all kinds of shady tricks With their Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! In conclusion I must now say The bebop boys they know how to play But that music is not for me So take it back Mr. Gillespie You better take it back to 52nd Street With your high speed riffs and stacatto beats And your Oop-pop-a-da Be-a-ba-du-la-be-plee Ple-oobly-oobly-oobly-oobie Chum-cheeree-a-bah Oop-pop-a-dee-de-doom ah-ah! Ah-ah!

here via Laural Canyon.

Such a great, fun band. They played this at Altamont and calmed the murderous crowd.

Good but Dave Dudley's version still the best!

Parkway West HS / St Louis County 1974-78 All of we, cool, upper middle class kids , whose Dads were transferred from other Towns, thrived there! Great School, and the best time for Classic Rock of every type! Thanks Mr Warrenburg ;) Right?

I love on these old records how you can hear the shout coming right before he starts yelling

I have done. I´m an amateur guitar player.an a long years ago I covered this super song in Canary island... Kevin Coyne was an Idol for me...

Now that’s how you write a song. Thanks lwiii.

My uncle Donald is jamming

Great effing song! Play LOUD and repeat!
