I Took My Baby Home

from In The Past: Garage Rock Podcast · host Weldon Hunter & Erik Komarnicki

On this episode, we discuss the 1964 song “I Took My Baby Home”, the B-side of the second Kinks single, and the first Ray Davies-penned song ever released (1:21).  Erik and Weldon discuss the semiotics of Beat-era “whoa whoa whoas” and “yeah yeah yeahs” and some serious eggheadery ensues. We then examine the Pickwicks even beatier version from the same year, and no – Jimmy Page isn’t on it (40:09). Finally, we palaver about the New Piccadillys interpretation from 2014 (57:40), and our wild tangents and peripheral anecdotes don’t prevent us from making some good points on the evolution of snotty rock vocals. Whoa yeah!!
