Crash: "In The Deep"

[Sean]

Okay, 10 days ago I posted four videos of what may or may not be the same song, recorded by a varied selection of artists, to say the least. So, is it the same song? Are some the same song? At what point, if any, does any of these become a different song? Just curious as to what people think about such things and if they think about them at all.

And where's Sean, anyway?

I'm here, I'm here!

Quite an eclectic bunch there Sue. The Planxty one is closest in lyrics, melody and spirit to the earliest known versions of the folk song. The Woody Guthrie and Steeleye Span versions have their roots in the original but are variations on a theme.

The White Stripes one is interesting as it appears to take the 'Gypsy Davy' variation and blend it with a completely different song: A 20th century Irish song called The Whistling Gypsy (Gypsy Rover).

Thanks, Sean, I hadn't heard that one before. Clearly, it's the same story over and over, told in different voices down through the centuries. I'd bet the ancient Egyptians also had a version, and probably the Lascaux cave-dwellers, too.

I remember the original Raggle Taggle Gypysies as the intro to Posh Nosh:

Here's "a blast from the past." I think Drumpf can use it as his campaign swansong -- if Earth Opera will allow him.

Regardless, this was a great Vietnam protest rally tune that really resonated at the time. When was the last time you heard this musical score?

Do you not see anything that's less than 1,000 years old?

[Gob]

For a while my favorite 'song of the season' has been 'Mary Did You Know' and then last year I was exposed to a new one: God's Love Made Visible with words and music by Mrs. and Mr. Brubeck. I love it.

I think there is no danger that this will become as boringly ubiquitous as 'Little Drummer Boy'

Well, that sure was an "oldie but goodie." They don't make 'em like that anymore.

From you linky:

Their most notorious performance was a collaboration with Extreme Noise Terror (and Barney Greenaway of Napalm Death) at the February 1992 BRIT Awards, where they fired machine gun blanks into the audience and dumped a dead sheep at the aftershow party. This performance announced The KLF's departure from the music business,

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

That is hilarious. These guys sound like they were a lot of fun.

[Gob]

Oh they were, they made some really danceable mash-ups too!

That's a metric fuckton of money to spend on an art-school joke.

As usual, catching up to the past twenty years..... Farryl Purkiss out of Durban. This is amazing - South Africans playing actual instruments and not wailing over some crap put together by a "DJ" (sic)
