WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Who Covers Who?

..The Jam. That's Who! One of my top 10 favorite bands of all time (The Jam) tackle a brilliant Townsend tune and create a Weller Wonder... Give 'em both a listen... Mod-tastic!..

  2. scotfree says Weller certainly Jamifies that one, in a very hypnotic way. Love it, thanks!!

  3. cpetersonart3 says Yes -this is a great song ,it first appeared as a B side to Funeral Pyre 45 RPM which also didn't make it to an album until SNAP. It was great hearing them do another Who song.

  4. dachmo says I've always considered The Jam to be an alter ego of The Who. I can't decide which version I like better.

  5. Mike the Knife says As ever, diggin' 'em both - even though it was one of the lesser-known Who tunes on this side of the Atlantic.

  6. ZenPop says Thanks for the comments, everyone! cpeterson... yeah... "Compact Snap" was the first CD I ever bought... I was working at a record store, and the very shipment of cds came in... I bought that one, even though I wouldn't have a cd player for another month... dach... I agree... they're both great... The Jam version has a few nice touches that really elevate it... (LOVE that reverb on the guitar...)

  7. annieander says That Disguises song would sure make a great CSI song... CSI San Francisco perhaps. Liking the cover too!
