Mondegreen time (Little Greenback). I remember hearing this song in high school, on the WLUP Rock n roll roots weekend show with Bob Stroud. It was played often. Then it was in the Reservoir Dogs movie and a lot more people became familiar with it. Great tune. Cool bass line and reverb toms. Then offbeat rhythm guitar comes in. The chorus has a swinging European chalet in the alps quality to it. Or maybe a little bar along a canal in Amsterdam. OK, you folks now, sing along with George Baker here, thats right ladies and gentlemen. Now let us talk about the equally great video here...
Basically we are observing one big party, 70s Euro style. I have had this idea to recreate the video, using specific co-workers as the band and staff. It would be amazing. Have not mentioned it to anyone...yet. Not sure about the details. Maybe film it at VC across the street. Man, the wine keeps pouring, cigarettes are smoking, something rolling, George just kinda mumbling. It never ends. More food! More wine! Bingo! Now pay your bill and be on your way, fellas.
