Planes,trains,and automobiles : Dooby's Taxiola 1:55 to 2:15 pullin' up to the hotel and the cab hydros down and the doors pop open...LOL !!! One of my favorite scenes of the whole movie...LOL !!!
Del: Doobie is it much further? Doobie: "Not much" Del: Why didn't you take the interstate? Doobie: Well, you said your friend wasn't from around here so I thought I'd ya know, show him around. There’s nothin on interstate but interstate... Neil: It's the middle of the night! Del: I know, I know, but he's proud of his town. That's a damn rare thing these days.
Terrific number. Don't know what I liked best about it - the crunchy riff, the driving bass with stacks of reverb, or . . . . . the drummer's Luftwaffe officer's hat.
Amen brother! Loved the little red glowing devil head! Excellent doobie torching tune as well. Cause 'ya know "You don't see anything on the interstate, but interstate" That's a dang rare thing these days Neil Paige!
Finally found this track... just watched Planes Trains & Automobiles & has to get this track found. Best part of the Film... Said your friend never been around here so I just figured he might like to er look around... you don’t see nothing on interstate but interstate...It’s The middle of the night!!! I know I know but he’s proud of his town.... You know that’s a damn rare things these days..... Take care of the luggage will yer Dolby...Ok Del... Classic...
Me: "Hey Doobie is this song almost over?" Doobie: "Almost" 😉 Steve Martin: "Where the hell is the hotel". Wait what is he doing in my dialog 🤨. LOL 😊.
I don't know their other stuff, but this is pretty good! Somewhere between Biker, Glam, and Goth rock. These guys should have gotten an opening slot for GN'R. I think the Guns' audience would have really dug them.
I havent heard this song since 1988-89 I heard this song on the show "Planes, trains and automobiles" just now, I havent seen this show since then either..wow!! I was 17 or 18 back then.!!
@unubtainium Yeah he really had that Bonneville decked, inside & out, ha Doobby's Taxiola is the correct spelling (some other dude's comment asked about it) Cheers to old Pontiac's !!
love this CD!! one of my all-time faves!!!! remember buyin' it not realizin' how different is was gonna sound from "light of the world"....the ytook the same path as the Cult to hard rock...almost EXACTLY the same route...all the way down to the same prducer!!!!!
I prefer listening to it in the middle of the night in the back seat of a 1968 Bonneville taxicab, on my way to the Braidwood Inn, in Wichita, Kansas. No better time to listen to it IMO.
So, not Witchita, Kansas? Is the Braidwood Inn in your town too? Or, was that filmed in a studio backlot? "Don't see nothin' on the interstate but interstate." ;-)
Can't find this on MP3 anywhere, i-tunes was no use! Will have to make do with the original 7", that means vinyl kids, nothing to do with what's in my pants. Saw BATA at the Reading Rock Festival around '87/'88 when they were all flowery and wore white a lot - check out She Knows for the sound of the time. They grew a set of balls and started to wear black leather soon after and I'll Show You Something Special was the result. Great band live too, shame they don't play much these days.
Paul Hirsch, ACE, who edited Planes, Trains and Automobiles said this about the scene with Doobie and his vehicle "Doobby's Taxiola": _"John Hughes (director) was rewriting scenes the night before and handing the dialogue to John Candy and Steve Martin and the scenes would get longer and longer. In the original script, the scene in the taxi when they drive to the first motel was about a third of a page. “Why didn’t we take the interstate?” The cabbie says, “Well, on the interstate all you see is the interstate.” Candy says, “This guy is proud of his community and wants to show it off.” Steve says, “But it’s night.” That was the whole scene. So we get the dailies and John (director, John Hughes) has written this whole dialogue for the cab driver: “See that over there? That’s where I lost my virginity when I was 18. See that tree over there that looks like a hanging tree? Well, there’s a funny story about that tree.” And it goes on and on."_ _"And then there was the coverage: there was a front shot of the cab, and you see the cab driver in the foreground and Steve and Candy in the back seat. So there’s a thousand feet of that. Maybe two takes, 2,000 feet. And then every take of every shot I’m describing to you was a thousand feet without stopping. So we had a front wide shot, then a front close up of the driver, then front close ups of Steve and Candy. They had a raking 2 shot of them one way an a raking 2 shot the other way. Then they had a tighter raking shot both ways. Then they had a close-up shot from the rear, of the cab driver turning around and looking into camera as if he was addressing them. And then there were details all of the decorations in the taxi. It was decorated like a Philippino taxi cab. So we had forty thousand feet of film for a scene that - in the script - was less than half a page. I had to hire another editor and just say, “This is yours. Go work on this.” In the end, the scene turned out to be exactly as originally written."_ From Steve Hullfish interviews Paul Hirsch on ProVideoCoalition's website, 13 April 2019.

"Balaam And The Ange - Ill Show You Something Special"
Originally lumped in the English goth movement (see releases before this album) ...along with the cult... then followed the cult down the road of rock...
Like the Major-Minor...what you call that Myxilodoan? Feel of this song. Great lil era for straight forward hard rock too : The Cult , Guns/Roses/ Stone Roses/ Balaam /Godfathers etc...
