This is the best version I have ever heard of this song on RU-vid! I write parody lyrics to songs such as this, so I was very happy when I found this version a few days ago. I hope you don't mind, but I sing a version with different words using your music. I gave you credit in the description. It would be awesome if you would play "Little Deuce Coupe" also! Take care Miles
I meant to add, for you to feel free to give my song a listen if you need a good laugh! My wife was a very good singer, but she passed away suddenly a few months ago. She had a pretty big lead foot when it came to driving, so I figured this was the ideal song (with lots of lyric adjustments) to do as a memorial to her. Thanks again for taking the time to prepare for and play this great old song. As I said in my other comment, I have been looking at karaoke version of this song for 5 years, but they all sounded useless, so it was like a breath of fresh air when I heard your song a few days ago, so I got right onto it and made it into a video. I don't claim to be a good singer, but I think our family members will get a good chuckle at the lyrics. I was fine riding with my wife, she drove fast, but was safe, and we both drove about the same speed, but I know at least 2 people that refused to ride with her after a trip! Maybe they were used to driving like a snail, I don't know, because there was never any moss growing under Ellen's car!!!!
I did listen to your parody! It's great! I am so touched that you were moved by my track. I do these just for fun, and if you find them fun also, even better! Feel free to use any of my creations! I am so sorry about your wife. I know you must really miss her, and I am sorry she had to leave you too soon. Great to meet you!
For these recordings, I am using a 1965 Super Reverb. I use the spring reverb AND add some reverb in ProTools. For the rhythm guitar, same thing, except I play a Jazzmaster. I don't take the Super to live gigs, it's too much amp for the small places I play. I use a Supro Dual with one 12-inch speaker, and a free standing Fender reverb unit. For recording, I usually have the Super on 4 for rhythm, and 7 for melody.
@@audiocamOK, silly question, do you think the new ToneMaster version would sound as good. I can't see how you can play the real thing in that little room! Hope you come up with more oldies. Subscribed.
@@TurboMountTV Well, I don't think it would be as much fun, I don't have the amp in the room with me. I am just in my control room listening to stereo speakers while the amp is in the bigger room and I just run a cord to it. However, I got the amp on about 5 or 6, so it is pretty loud in the house. I recently bought a 5 watt Supro so I can not make as much noise for the sake of my wife. (She doesn't mind, but I know it is loud!) I use a free standing reverb unit into the little Supro, and it sounds almost as good as the Super. this was, I don't make as much noise, and I feel more free to experiment. I don't alway shoot a video, a lot of the time, I only record audio. When I shoot a video with the little amp, I will reply back to you here.
@@audiocamThanks for responding. Just discovered my Fender GTX100 has a 1965 Super Reverb model, so gonna experiment with that. Still not sure if my Yamaha Super Strat can replicate that 61 Strat though.
