Thought of the day (from a previous post)
”The Beatles murdering Twist and Shout”
Thinking logically…..
No one ever talks about an original song sung by the original band of ever being accused of murdering it. They just say it’s awful rubbish or crap.
l believe that “murdering a song” can only be levelled at a cover version of the original song performed by others.
l often recall The Troggs, “Wild Thing”
After the lead singer played it to his girlfriend apparently she said, “That’s awful (or horrible)…..no one’s going to buy that!”
No mention of murdering the song, but l don’t rule out what she might have done had he kept on playing it.
