Hungry

The new episode aims to sate Pastronauts with 4 versions of the garage gem, “Hungry.”  The main course is the 1966 original from Paul Revere & the Raiders. This one has FUZZ, pulsing organ, and some terrific cha cha tambo along with a lusty vocal performance from the great Mark Lindsay. That same year, Canadian/British combo The 5AM Event altered the ingredients somewhat for more Freakbeat-influenced fodder. Since Lindsay’s “Hungry” was so horny, these guys take that literally and add … a trumpet? An interesting side dish comes in the form of Teddy and Darrel’s version. Lovers of Incredibly Strange Music will love this, though it may be an acquired taste for others. For dessert, we go all the way to 1979 for Todd Tamanend-Clark’s take. He claims to have “altered the lyrics to be more assertively sexual,” but we think you don’t need to improve on the Raiders original recipe. Nonetheless, he adds some funky Hendrix flavour to make his versh extra tasty. Burp!
