Little Black Egg
from In The Past: Garage Rock Podcast · host Weldon Hunter & Erik Komarnicki
In this episode, we speck-ulate on the meaning of that inscrutable garage rock classic, “Little Black Egg": the song with the famous RIFF and the enigmatic lyrics ... The first in our carton is the 1965 original by The Nightcrawlers (1:44). The REAL MEANING IS FINALLY REVEALED! And it's a SHOCKER!! Goldurn! The second peep comes from The Next Five, whose 1967 version is peppy and organ-tastic, but at what cost (57:23)? Oh, bother! The third egg in our omelette features those rockin’ seminarians, The Brunnerdale Concert Choir (1:19:35). Their version has the high lonesome sound, a surprising outburst of bongos, and even Our Father himself makes an appearance (it is an Easter song, after all!). Finally, we cap the show off with another garage rock classic, "We All Love Peanut Butter" by The One Way Street (1:40:54). This "adaptation" of LBE features insane lyrics (which we examine) and it sticks to the roof of your head! Goodbye, peanut butter!!!
