Pretty obvious, I suppose but I just discovered The Tremeloes version is a cover

They do a decent live version. Those harmonies and falsetto could go horribly wrong

Heart & Soul. A hit for Huey Lewis & the news in 1983. Written by Chinn & Chapman. The amount of hits these guys wrote and or produced is incredible. (although Mike Chapman throws a lot of shade at Nicky Chinn's contribution to the songs) Any way it was originally recorded by exile in 1981. They had a hit with kiss you all over in 1978 (another Chinn & Chapman song)

Prefuse! My man, where you been? Thought we'd lost you for good to the Steve Hoffman forum! Who am I supposed to insult the Smiths to without you around?

Interesting. I didnt recognise this until the chorus kicked in. It's much heavier!

Exile are nothing without sexy dance Jimmy Stokley- who in no way looks like Paul Whitehouse in costume

I'm not someone who knows the Hysteria album especially well but I'd listened it this song a bunch of times without ever copping that it is (quite obviously) a James Brown thing

Knew it was a JB tune but never checked out the original - great tune whoever is singing.
cheers Lili. my knowledge of JB is a bit embarrassing.
 
Ok, I didn't know this
You guys all probably did
And I'm a dope

But I had major RObbie Williams blinkers on when he was big - didn't give a fuck about him

Wallinger's response​

The song's producers, Guy Chambers and Steve Power, used the drummer and bassist of World Party's touring band (neither of whom played on the World Party version) to perform the backing track for Williams, resulting in a very similar-sounding cover. World Party's frontman and songwriter Karl Wallinger was not made aware that a cover was going to be released using his own band. When the song became a hit, and after having experienced a near-fatal brain aneurysm around the time of the song's release, Wallinger stated that he experienced "ongoing bitterness", going on to say that "the song had a much better time than me, popping off to the Brits while I was at home eating crackers dipped in water".[4]

When introducing the song in live performances, Williams often claims that it is one of the best songs he's ever written, despite not actually having written the song.[5] This culminated in a telephone outburst from the song's actual writer, Wallinger, to Chambers, stating "Your fucking friend Robbie Williams. Tell him from me that he's a cunt".[6] Williams has never publicly acknowledged that "She's the One" is a cover of a World Party track
 
I didn't know that Seamus Moore's classic, the big bamboo was a reworking of an old 1960's novelty song from Trinidad.

Glen Medeiros - Nothing's gonna change my love for you. A big hit in 1987.
First recorded by Jazz guitarist turned cheese merchant George Benson in 1985.
He had a few good tunes in fairness.

I wonder if it will be to The Mary Wallopers what Wagon Wheel is to The Old Crow Medicine Show.
