Night Time

In the new episode, we make some pretty music while watching the world go by - listening to 4 versions of a classic from Nuggets helps! The original "Night Time" was done by The Strangeloves in 1965 (1:11). It's a table-topper and guitar chopper, with a cool barrelhouse piano riff,  bashing drums, clever lyrics and a cool , sort of meta spoken-word section. In 1966, Swedish snotsters The Sooner or Later waxed their wild rendition (52:18).  The main riff gets played by the drums (!) and the bass, which gives this a booming big beat sound - but there's also FUZZ and a razorblade guitar tone.  That same year, some Mexican lunatics known as Los Crazy Birds made a Spanish-language version called "La Noche" (1:24:41). More FUZZ, circus organ, and some really crazy caterwauling make this one a crypt-keeper. Finally, in a dark year for popular music - 1980 - George Thorogood & The Destroyers were on a mission to keep the night time burning bright, and the mission was accomplished with this fast and furious foray on the fingerboard (1:42:46). That's a natural fact!!
