Eddie Cochran - Something Else

From a TV show

[@Pithecanthropus2483]

What I love about seeing these old TV performances, besides the music which is awesome, is seeing the kids in the audience have such a good time.

[@acosalvo]

How fantastic to hear this again after all these years. This song got the "Teds" scrapping in the club alright.

[@mannaiadio]

great song!I play this song with my punk rock band!Eddie is a legend of rock'n'roll!

[@75amoeba]

This is a brilliant observational song. And do you know what, I don't think it has ever been bettered. Eddie, you were a bloody genius.

[@kennbix]

@PrimalStones I was born in 1944 and lived the 50's and I would go back in a heartbeat...what a great time in my life....

[@ftsjr]

I love Eddie Cochran's music. Yet another musician who died way too soon.

[@Jim4979]

gangerollo I saw the concert in Regina Saskatchewan, Canada in 1957. Eddie really rocked the house that night!

[@brucer12]

Eddie was a true rocker. I love to watch the old Bandstand clips and the kids watching there idols.

[@theimposter1979]

One of the best records of all time!

[@zthetha]

Part of Eddie's magic was that his music was so raw but his stage act so elegant - like Elvis on castors.

[@Jim4979]

Gangerollo Thanks for the information. I have been collecting since 1952. I have thousands of items on rock and roll era (1950's and 1960's) and a few letters from old artists. I love my collection and bring lots memories for me and my friends! P/S I'm still collecting items today.

[@jekiwe]

He was a 'rockin fool' wasn't he? Went into the R&R hall of fame in 1987. This and Jeannie Jeannie Jeannie were my favorites by Eddie. Thanks for this video even though it was incomplete. Just be glad you have this much huh?

[@LastOfSixMusic]

Pure and simple, it doesn't get much more raw than this......! Early Rock and Roll with an edge...! Great stuff....!

[@ElvisThunders]

He's a mighty good rocker... man he's something else!

[@TedName1]

Man, I wish choreography was that good these days. But seriously; awesome song by an awesome musician. Thanks much.

[@Jim4979]

Rock and roll analysis beholds action packed and fun listening, so Eddie rocks forever.

[@AldbroBev]

It's great to see someone's taken the time to post the Golden Oldies. Added to my Faves, Cheers unfairplay

[@ianhitman]

This is a Swindle. A Great Rock n Roll Swindle.

[@higginbottomd]

Thanks for the clip. Eddie is still missed.

[@theerion]

AGREED! today's music can't hold a candle to this :-)

[@75amoeba]

THE BEST ROCK N ROLL SONG EVER.

[@ftsjr]

A great performer, who left us too soon.

[@johnnyguitar64]

awesome eddie.best sound in rock n roll

[@Zeitgeist74]

Aahhh, when American rock was original, impeccable, AND innovative all in one!

[@whupass95]

Something else, alright - half a century later and still nobody beats Eddie.

[@dannysierra]

Sittin' in the Balcony & Twenty Flight Rock are my favourites. Oh yeah, and Summertime Blues.(:-()

[@Jim4979]

I agree! I saw Eddie live in 1957!

[@63billy]

happy anniversary Eddie 51 years today

[@darwindunn]

truly impossible not to love this tune

[@Jim4979]

gangerollo I live on Vancouver Island in Victoria BC across the water from Seattle. Victoria is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world. Kelowna is in the interior of BC, which is about six hour drive from Vancouver BC where the Olympics are taking place in a few weeks.

[@theonlytruepunk]

@fr33k3r How can anyone not love this??? Amazing!!!

[@Deader87]

Amen to that brother!!!

[@Jim4979]

Gangerllo I picked up two more copies of the movie Go Johnny Go I will check at Zellers Store today to see if they any more old 1950's CD movies. The price was only two dollars.

[@HarryWebb46]

Eddie Cochran: the Power and the Glory!

[@laaxe]

Eddie would have been 72 today! He died the day after my 4th birthday in 1960. Twenty years later, I'd become a songwriter, and co-wrote songs with Sharon, Eddie's girlfriend, who co-wrote "Somethin' Else with Eddie. Twenty years later, Sharon would die. Ya gotta know they're together! Happy Birthday Eddie!

[@Jim4979]

Gangererollo I live in Victoria BC, Canada. One block from the ocean, which I can see the Pacific ocean from my house.I love to go for walks down by the sea side. The temperature here usually only varies thirty degrees from winter to summer (45 to 75 degrees)

[@overlookNW237]

yeah, hey man tahts 100% right as long as nobody forget him, he will be alive in everybodys mind and heart. i love his sung SUMMERTIME BLUES its the best in my oppinion^^ altough they are all great, even his "worse" song is 200x better than the "better" song today

[@andrewr62]

His style was his own. Great song writer singer and guitar player.

[@smoothsugardevil]

The one and only! Best version ever - the covered ones don't rock as much as this one

[@lingopresley]

THANK YOU!

[@bohrmaenneken]

Eddie´s the greatest!

[@freddyzamora176]

This dude 😎 is very cool 👍 and evlis Presley 😎👍😎👍😎😎😎

[@Bopalena]

Perfect teenage American story. Boy wants girl, can't get girl. Boy wants car to impress girl, can't afford car. Boy gets job, buys car, gets girl. ROCK ON, EDDIE!

[@isayrealallday]

he was cool if he would have lived longer he would have been the king of rock and roll

[@tommyrock69]

Eddie Rules!

[@moxie96]

I feel that Sid Vicious did this song very well in the film Rock'n'Roll swindle. His bits are my favorite parts in the movie. The whole point was it was supposed to be gritty and not fluid, punk's point was to dissort the sounds of a lot of songs but also freshened up an forgotten 45 or old standard, not very different from what the British invasion groups had done ten years prior..

[@Erulin68]

He's sure fine looking man, he's something else... Could have been a rival for Elvis, alas... we'll never know...

[@gotamnn1]

on peut dire que notre Johnny c'est beaucoup inspiré de ce chanteur

[@mmm413]

His best.

[@GenericGene]

Great rocker -

[@Bopalena]

Went to his grave today to pay my respects. Rock on, Eddie!

[@wildcatfalling]

Sorry folks. but Eddie did'nt write this one-but he made his it his own and it was a long time before anyone covered it

[@hmoon99]

the epitome of coolness

[@huambr]

Это же классика, эту песню перепели все кому не лень!

[@DrKMonroe]

hear hear mychevy although I love them all!

[@robotnik77]

Eddie's brother, Bob Cochran, & Eddie's girlfriend, Shari Sheeley, share the credits on this song; but it sure fits Eddie, doesn't it? I think it's his best ripper. I saw him perform it in 1959. He was more aggressive than shown in this video. I think Bandstand tamed him down a bit. 50's TV, you know.

[@jerrylw75]

super

[@28if]

No Ramones, No Sid without this, get a clue!

[@wisesatyr72]

Eddie Cochran would never imagined Sid Vicious singing this song in his underwear whilst breaking a beer bottle and crusing around the english isle in his motorcycle

[@punkinglad13]

this shit still rocks

[@Sincopare]

I can't stand how the crowd is clapping on the downbeat. HOW UNCOOL.

[@glottis5]

indirectly sleng teng was based off a bassline pre programmed into a casio synth, which was based on this song

[@Jteether]

@57mychevy It sucks that all the best rock stars died well before their time.

[@savvakissss]

Who is that... Eddie Cochran... I know the song it's very nice!!!

[@manticora247]

Is this the tune Jammys used back in 1985 to create the Sleng Teng Riddim ??

[@lusefer]

hahahahhahahahah oh my god you are hilarious...you should do stand up

[@fr33k3r]

there are people who don't like this? Eddie Cochran rules, ok?

[@dancetech]

fuck you are right, i never thought of that, it is sleng-teng!!

[@Jteether]

@rb62470 You know, that's very true. Better to be immortalized than grow to be a mockery of your former self

[@bmsingleton]

Led Zepp's version ROCKS also :)

[@jpjames1]

I think he rocked harder

[@isaiaszzzz]

UNDER ME SLENG TENG, SHE UNDER ME!

[@NeilThompson30]

I love everything that Eddie Cochran ever recorded and I love the Sex Pistols first two singles. I think a lot of people are missing the point about the Cochran versus Vicious thing - Eddie was a genius in the studio - The sound on the first two Pistols singles is ace but the two Cochran covers are really bad - the sound of the guitar is muddy - complete contrast to the clean sound that Eddie got in the studio so Eddie wins hands down.

[@Victordinamita]

your nick says everything

[@ericsail14]

great greaser music

[@jacqueskimpe4536]

Les Free Chickens Five interprètent Eddie Cochran

[@csjvgirls]

Jimmy would think, not like you. That I am for sure.

[@AsurorusA]

Led Zepps Version is awesome tooo

[@RussX5Z]

It got cut off!!

[@pinchold]

the very first punk number

[@essertpitay]

You have to wonder what could have been...

[@rmroche1]

i love free speech even if ponyboy talks like a womens private part its a persons right. eddie your talent will always be in our lives it is somethin else x rip

[@WWSuperman]

eddie in his prime

[@pilotdon50]

He sure got mileage out of his shoulders

[@SOTONTEE]

How the hell can anyone compare Sid Vicious to Eddie Cochran? Eddie Cochran was light years ahead of punk and captures the spirit of 50s youth,where as all Vicious did was murder his girlfriend. Sorry but its Cochran everytime.

[@EuGJaMMeR]

Sid Vicious did a cool cover of this song.

[@ginger1959able]

The 17th of April is the 50th anniversary of Eddies untimely death remember and play his music forever and a day and don,t forget Gene injured in the crash.

[@horselaverda]

hard to better this

[@baddriddimworkshop]

under me sleng teng!

[@Tomd1013]

anyone like the zeppelin cover? ik i do :)

[@csjvgirls]

Don't you understand that iwthout Eddie, THERE IS NO Led Zeppelin version. The reason people do covers is because they respect the original artist. Led Zeppelin would think you are a disgrace.

[@Dueyruss]

11 people aren't Something Else

[@alyssanavarro6529]

Did Vicious did a cover ahhaa

[@Bopalena]

Buddy Holly was the best song writer of the 50s guys, but Cochran was the best guitarist. I wonder whatever happened to that idiot cab driver who killed him? Imagine if Eddie was allowed to live and got to play with Lennon/McCartney, Clapton, Johnny Winter, SRV, Duane Allman, Jeff Beck, etc. WOW!!!

[@XGRIMYONEX]

sid vicio8us covered this lol

[@arkaros0]

sid did it different not better. there is nothing caled better in the world of music

[@BillDFC]

No!

[@Gustavoreis09]

LOL come on don't overrate. He's good but the best ever --'

[@BillDFC]

England is not an Isle....

[@petegeorge94]

sid vicious was clearly a fan... but his versions were better
