It's funny... I've known this song for over 30 years, but until last year, I never heard the original. (I've been listeing to the one by Deep Purple!) I also LOVED it when The Friggs did it live once (with Mitzi Dodge on vocals-- BETTER than Tina, I think).

A FACEBOOK friend introduced me to my current obsession, a band from Germany named BOSSHOSS.
7 hot guys is stereotypical cowboy outfits, they exploded in Germany doing rockabilly/country versions of well-known songs. Their covers are amzingly original (I know, not easy to do for a covers band, huh?), well-done and fun-- and very very VERY sexy!
I cannot understate how obsessed with them I currently am!
To prove this, here's a sampling you can click on an enjoy!

That reminds me of SILVER SURFER, a band from Kasel Germany lead by Karsten Kohler. They all dress like MEXICAN BANDITOS and have stage names (Vince, Tom, Jerry & Beach). They do rock & roll, surfing tunes, and "Americana" (folk songs & realy OLD pop songs). Among the artists whose songs they do are Johnny Cash, The Champs, Morton Stevens, Lalo Schifrin, The Limeliters, Link Wray, The Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Ritchie Valens, The Sandpipers, Dean Martin, Roger Miller, Tennessee Ernie Ford & Ray Charles. What a combination!! Yes, they also do originals, what struck me as funny about their 2nd CD was, it could have made a GREAT 4-song EP of new songs, but was fleshed out by all these fun oldies.

The Brotherhood Of Man -- "DO YOUR THING" (1971)
This may be as obscure as you can get. It's a "B" side of a single that didn't chart in any country... but somehow we wound up getting it. (The "A" side was "California Sunday Morning".)
