WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

The Five-Million-Dollar Clock

Posted about 1 year ago

Back in July, i did a post about Paul Simon suing a Japanese manufacturer (and their US operation, located here in Atlanta, co-incidentally) for $5 million over their use of Bridge Over Troubled Water on a musical clock.

Well, guess what?

Early last month we went down to my mother-in-law's place for a week - and she has one of them hanging on her living room wall.

And here's a pic of the beast.

And here's a version you probably haven't heard before:

    Crazy clock.  Sick version of Bridge.

    Thanks for the weirdness:)

    The clock plays a different tune each hour.

    There's a whole *album* of S&G covers by the Coolies.

    And a single of a heavy metal version of Sounds of Silence i've never been able to get my hands on, even though i live in the Atlanta area and have at least a nodding acquaintance with the owner of the label...

    Try these two, from the same album:


    (and this one is an instrumental version, too)
