CC Round 2 Match 1 *dawg 11 - Machuki 9*

[Count Machuki]

[Some things are so of their time that they can't transcend it. With this I feel I'd need a time
machine to truly 'get it'. It's not really a question of how broad-minded your tastes are.

While I agree that context is all, there are easier ways of accessing past zeitgeists than time travel.
1. Never seen a Hollywood movie from the 30s and 40s, G? No cultural experience of prohibition, speakeasies, etc.?
2. Never been drunk and acted in a puerile fashion, or seen anyone else do it? Little more timeless than that.
3. Never enjoyed a hooligan taking down a stuffed shirt with ridicule? 'No longer slinking,/Respectably drinking,/Like civilized ladies and men?'

Never done the FunkyWalk, G?
Huh? Huh?!

I love Spike Jones, and that he inspires such fervent, even desperate defense is great too.

But for fuck's sake!

It's a point of view, Speedy, no matter how wrong, but if you're saking fucks, look what it's up against? Lamer than a quadriplegic donkey, stripping a song down to its riff to no purpose – certainly no good purpose – and dispensing with the vocals completely. It's a fucking travesty! And all because a load of ovine fops want to mope about a dancefloor without compromising the hang of their trousers.
Pshaw, sirrah, and Fie!

[Fonz]

B is a performance of a great song that somehow manages to remove all its essence. What a waste of time.

Damn straight!


A for me , too.

[Ranking Ted]

My dad loves Spike Jones, so I'm almost willing to vote for it. But no. Penk is spot on: B is nothing more than a R&B groover but is simply more to my taste - my 47 year old modern ears - than A, which is a novelty I'd never listen to twice.

I imagine a blaxploitation-version of Wayne's World with Dana Carver's character doing the dance in the diner and B being the soundtrack....
I like the Spike Jones-slapstick sound to a degree and I'm most definitely from after 1953... but it's a

[Neige]

B is just too er... earnest, while A is a real classic, on of his best!

Hmm, ok, you've gone past obviousness with these picks, but haven't gone for qualilty. Which is ok, as I might not have done with all my picks. But I'm not sure I can vote for either here. B should win, but it's quite a lame retread, in my book.

So am I reading this as a vote for B or an abstain?

I'm pretty sure it's three votes for B
Maybe four, just in case.

A cover that totally subverts a wretched song...

as a ride-or-die Carl Brisson fan I couldn't be more offended
