well I thought it was very nice
Yes, well done
Good effort
I would have written a spiel mentioning Karen Dalton and The Chieftains being heavily featured. The 90's Swedish euro pop version is so horrendous that there was little motivation to watch it without knowing that.
Night Train by GnR is about a cheap wine that gave folks a weird buzz.
Just found out it ceased production in 2016 - Night Train Express brand history:
The Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill (Husker Du) references a whiskey brand.

Do you think I'd start a thread on thumped in the year 2024 posting a twenty minute video about that particular version?
Yes.
I mean, you’re a great man for the weird tidbit of knowledge so this seems entirely on brand for you.
I find this stuff interesting too. Music, history and anthropology all coming together. It's interesting, though I'm just a hobbyist.
Joseph O'Connor (Sinead bro) has a thing in one of his books where he traces the history of a song from Scoland to Ireland to America and back again.
Listening to old time folky music made me less snooty about bands using samples, which then opened a heap of music to me.
Saw this guy playing with Andy Irvine's band Mozaik many years ago. Listening to his solo album right now:
Extremely underrated band. I’ve seen them a few times but the best has to have been Vicar St where Dirty Three supported them(!). The Dirty Three lads came out at the back of the crowd and were so into it. Pure moment.
jesus, the vocal fry in the original video.
If you're into that kinda stuff the Fire Draw Near Podcast is class for tracing the history of various songs in the folk traditins.

In the spirit of the thread, I thought this was fascinating, particularly the "trucker's gear change" that arose from an incorrect transcription.

Myth: at fourteen years of age, while visiting Rome, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart first heard the piece during the Wednesday service, and later that day, wrote it down entirely from memory. Doubt has however been cast on much of this story.

Writing one or two lines about what the video contained (always a good idea IMO) would gotten my attention immediately. Nobody posted a response to the video for three days.

It's a complete tangent but onetime i helped someone move house in a borrowed car for 3 days around xmas and their cd player had the (not corrected / og) miserere on it. I just listened to it every time i got in the car to do another loadout.
Anywhoo last year i got a hankering to hear it again and was going through live versions and whatnot and i realised that i hate watching this piece because the singer who gets the 'note' always looks slightly smug when they have their little moment and it detracts from the abject misery a bit.

I was in a shop this morning and two lads in their 20's were running the place and having the craic about what playlist to put on
Anyways this track came up first
And the lad was like 'this is the one where the chorus sounds like the chorus to the pokemon song.
and when i looked up the writer it's a bassist who used to be in hall & oates, a prime candidate for being a toto fan

When there was an assyrian empire they were proper facist types mowing down cities all over the region.
When genociding a place called Lacish and forcing people into exile as a extra pschological torture they were at times forced to sing by the Assyrians, which is thought to be source of psalm which in turn is the source of
I learned this from here from about 1hr 30mins.
Also you should all stop watching whatever is on tv and just sit through 3 hours of this once in a while. it's an amazing podcast/series
