Fanny - Hey Bulldog (1971) | LIVE

LYRICS (elyrics.net)
----------------------------------------------------
Sheepdog
Standing in the rain
Bullfrog
Doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you're something special when you smile?
Child-like
No one understands
Jack knife
In your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me
Hedgehog
Living in the sand
Leapfrog
Giving him a hand
Some kind of attitude is measured out inside
You think you're going but you haven't got a ride
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can tal to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me
Big man
Walking in the park
Wigwam
Frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know me but you haven't got a clue
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me
Wahoo woof! Woof!
Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!
Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!
Hey man, what's that boy?
Woof!
What do you say?
I said "woof!"
You know anymore?
Wooaah ha ha ha!
You've got it, that's it, you had it!
That's it, man, woo!
That's it! You've got it!
Don't look at me man, I only have ten children
Ah ho! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Quiet boy, quiet!
Okay
Quiet!
Hey bulldog!
Hey bulldog!

Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums.
Sisters June Millington (born April 14, 1948, Manila, Philippines) and Jean Millington (born May 25, 1949, Manila, Philippines) moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California in 1961. In high school they formed an all-girl band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt was later replaced by Alice de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, Mason City, Iowa). When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles.
In January 1970, Nickey Barcley was asked to join Fanny as a singer and keyboardist. She was one of the main songwriters and lead singers in the group, and appeared on all their albums, adding soul, blues and funk influences to the group's overall sound.

[@Khayyam-vg9fw]

@@user-en6tz3iy1z In the context of the time it was unusual to have all-women bands who played instruments as well as singing. (Even single female instrumentalists in otherwise all-male bands, such as Honey Lantree of The Honeycombs or Megan Davies of The Applejacks were considered novelties.) There would have been a kind of irrational prejudice against it among many people. I am nearly 64 and I remember the climate of those times.​

Saw them open for Mountain and went the next day and bought their album. Then saw them 2 more times, afterwards. Whenever there was a party Fanny was right in the stack with ELP, Hendrix, Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Who, Spooky Tooth, James Gang, J. Geils, etc. We had a nine LP turntable. When they were done we'd just flip them over.

@Stephen Beck-von-Peccoz they weren't musical geniuses is a point that I would grant you. I also wished that they had produced more original material. But they deserve more credit than they received. Think about the rock world when they were playing. I can't think of any other groups which were all women. They weren't taken seriously by many because of their gender, and always fighting that battle is hard work. With more support they might have been able to develop their sound and skills.

[@peterbrusch1493]

You do know auto-tune mics have been around a very long time, right? Once a person hears his/her voice from the speakers pitch gets even closer to 12TET, so it can be difficult to hear if any auto-tune is enabled.

Obviously people did hear of and hear "Fanny" in their day. They were afforded many airplays, media appearances, promotions and articles. They sold large numbers of records, but not as many as eg.: "The Beatles" who originated "Hey Bulldog". IMHO: "Sexism" is a powerful word, best not scattered about without due context.

[@neilrice2450]

there is a 2021 documentary "Fanny: The Right to Rock"

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

Not sure their band name would go down too well in britain

[@slimturnpike]

They were quite well known in their day, played together for six years, had two top 40 hits and recorded five albums which received favorable and often glowing reviews from major rock critics. The last few years they've been getting a lot of attention because of general interest in the era. This is a cool version of Hey Bulldog. I was around then and playing music professionally in the States. Among my peers, both women and men, they were considered to be a solid rock band that did a mix of covers and originals. I never sensed any sexism in the press or elsewhere in regard to Fanny.

[@thespamdance311]

No, we can’t. For a start, this was 50 years ago, the musicianship is at best adequate, and they’re doing a cover of a pretty forgettable Beatles song. What else did they do? And let’s not forget that Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen were also doing the rounds at this time, against which this band look like rank amateurs.

[@chiselcheswick5673]

Now and again youtube recommends a gem and this was certainly one of them. Really captivating stuff. Brilliant.

[@jfk64kennedy95]

I've listened to just about everything I can find, from these ladies, since I stumbled on them a couple days ago...I can't believe, I never heard of these ladies, I'm a huge hard rock, classic metal fan, southern rock...late 1960's, early 1970's..huge fan and I had never heard of...now, i'm a huge fan of them, sadly 50 yrs too late...love them.

Wow. How awesome is this? In 1973 I saw Fanny, as the "warm-up" band for Chicago in Tulsa OK. Being one of the few people who were familiar with Fanny at that time, I warned my Chicago fan friends that Fanny was going to kick Chicago's butt. It happened. Fanny, with raucous approval from the crowd, blew the roof of the place while Chicago seemed tired and somewhat arrogant by comparison. My friends all had to admit I was right. Fanny still ranks as the BEST all girl band, in my opinion. They were EXTREMELY good at what they did. Great music, great shows, great band. Thanks, laides!

[@censusgary]

The truth is, Chicago was a so-so band (yet better than the many Chicago cover bands I’ve heard). But Fanny kicked everybody’s butts. They flippin’ rock.

Hey Bulldog is by far one of the best Beatles´ songs. These ladies played it better than anyone else could ever do. They are absolutely talented and charming.
