The Smithereens - Time Won't Let Me

[@gunnarprinzmadsen662]

Nice cover of our tune.. Being- the original Bass player on the tune! 😎👌I mis the horns thou, but its an exiting new aproach.

Ah, so Gunnar Prinz Madsen and Mert Madsen are the same person?

Thanks for sharing Bert. Hope you are well.

[@brendakrieger7000]

One of my favorite oldies songs! Thank you for your contribution to this timeless classic🎸🎵🎤

[@richardflores5302]

Awsome!

[@toddmoore4887]

I think I still have the 45 of this and it is still a great tune

[@Arturo-sm1tb]

Jim Babjak is a guitar god. So underrated, but one of the greatest axemen playing power chords in the history of pop music.

[@jasontwitchell8167]

I absolutely love The Smithereens cover of this classic.

[@StaticBlaster]

Time Cop is definitely in my top 10 science fiction movies ever made! Amazing film!

[@billd8838]

I always try to see Time Cop every time it's on TV. This version is just a GREAT as the original.

[@ericlindsey3069]

Almost. I'd say it's equal I think if the pace was a little faster, it would have seemed more modern and rock-ie. It'a akin to a punk song at its' heart. This I'd say is almost equal to the original. It brings nothing new to the song. For instance the vocal could have even more of a snarl. Think what Billy Idol did for "MonyMony." Billy Idol could have made this a hit in his heyday.

[@gunnarprinzmadsen662]

Well being that I am from Denmark and live there, I cant see Time Cop. But I like the cover they did on Time Won`t Let Me. But I still wish they would have had the horns as we had on the original song. But grest job anyway. 👍

@@gunnarprinzmadsen662 there's ways around region lock it but if you're into fun action films with a sci fi twist it's easily one of my favorites. This song works perfect as the end track and either the original or this would be more than welcome.

Thank you. I was wondering what the movie was. I didn’t know until I saw Jean-Claude Van Damme do the split on the counter.

[@brianlobo1512]

Remember this was a great song for closing credits and leaving the theater. Saw timecop twice in the theater. *Can’t wait* (pun intended) for it to be on tv soon.

[@aranerem3767]

Great song from timecop

[@Daemonarch2k6]

Finally a music video with the legendary van damme dance

[@steffyranger]

One of my favorite video movie soundtracks of all-time!!! Van Damme forever! I like that he actually got involved in this video makes it more nostalgic and awesome!

[@georgebethos7890]

Pat lives on!!

[@kurtispopp]

Jean Claude doing the splits on a counter top will never not be iconic. Also Mia Sara from Ferris Bueller is way hot in this.

[@СлаваРоссия-у7ж]

I just watched the film Timecop after quite a while and I told myself that I had to download this song!

Time Cop !! Great song and great movie with Jean Claude Van Damme. He still looks good at 53 and can still do the splits !!!

Hehe, just found this tune whilst making a 'Jean-Claude Van-Damme Movie songs & Tunes' youtube playlist. Didn't realize there was a video for the song let alone Van-Damme's appearance in it!! AWESOME!!

[@SirJoelsuf1]

I had NO IDEA there was a music video for this!!!

Good tune that's nostalgic.!!!!!!.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@amitgeambashu2592]

Great movie. 4real

[@menchitty11]

This should have been a much bigger hit! I thought the Smithereens did a very excellent job covering this classic Outsiders hit. Excellent tune accompanied by an even most excellent vid clip. Even action heroes can have a little fun every now and then.

[@belindakt]

Probably the best cover of the original I've heard yet...

[@billd8838]

I watch this movie EVERY time it's on.

[@rochskier]

One of the best covers ever. The Smithereens made this song one of their own. I prefer this to the original because there is so much more body in the bass and drums and so much more fire in the guitars and vocals. The bands changing outfits in the video are a fun concept that ties in with Timecop, a fun '80s action film that somehow managed to get released in 1994.

[@gunnarprinzmadsen662]

Well, you got to remember that the sound at the Cleveland Recording studio in 1965, cant compeat with the qualety sound of 1994 --- I bet if the Outsiders with th same original setup group would record this tune today, the qualety would be right up there with The Smithereens , so thats my answer to hat Adam Fuller. But I like this recording a lot -- I miss the horns thou. Wich gave the original tune the drive that made it a hit.

[@Tennfatmatt]

Absolutely great cover of one of my favorite songs of the 60"s! Didn't know this video existed. Thanks for post.

[@TZKeyz]

I missed hearing this. Great re-make! Smithereens rock!

[@mosesjones5376]

The Smitherines feat. Colonel Guile. Probably filmed while filming Street Fighter. His hair is in the same style. Street Fighter was released shortly after Timecop. The teaser to Street Fighter appeared on theatrical prints of Timecop.

[@Mike179]

Yes it was I remember going to see Timecop with my brother and the teaser for Street Fighter was just before it. Memories

[@ciarraibuzz]

Should have been a big hit, for sure.

[@cleanslate2004]

The song has that bubblegum feel, catchy with some drive. Its surprising it hasn't been covered much. The Outsiders were known for their harmony's, much like The Association and The Grass Roots. These guys are instrumentally clean and tight, with some thump, solid lead vocal, but I miss the harmonies in a song like this.

[@stidwell91]

It is "harmonies." Apostrophes are never used to make a word plural. Apostrophes show contractions- can't, won't, etc. Or, apostrophes make abbreviations, letters, or numbers plural- CD's, A's, 6's etc.

[@chrisbacos]

Originally released in 1966 by a Cleveland band called the Outsiders. Like Pat their lead singer Sonny Geraci was Italian-American. Both men are in rock and roll heaven now.

[@ericlindsey3069]

Yeah, and a bit of garage punk, nuggets era sound to it. The vocal snarl sounds tough in the original. Reminds me of 1965 Rolling Stones. It's a very cool simple song.

I forgot that Walter White was the lead singer of the Smithereens. 😁

[@CatholicTruthAngel]

I like this cover better than I do the original. I just wish I could hear more bass, it sounds tinny to me. But I guess it doesn't matter, because they could sing and play the nutritional ingredients on the side of a cereal box, and I'd like it! :)

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

Now and then, a cover version of a song comes along that is actually better than the original. Well…this isn't one of those times. Even the Smithereens couldn't re-create the magic. You want a big hit? Production matters, hugely. The Cleveland Outsiders had a hit with this because it was extremely well put together, and got it all just right. Actually, the song itself really wasn't much to talk about, pretty dumb TBH. But when you played that 7-incher, that Ohrwuerm just burrowed its way into your brain and took over, and what could you do?
