about

According to Wikipedia, this tune is “a 1943 popular song with music by Jimmy Van Heusen and lyrics by Johnny Burke. The biggest hit version, recorded by Bing Crosby in 1943 and appearing in his film Dixie, was made during a musician's strike, and recorded with a vocal group background instead of an orchestra. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on August 19, 1943 and lasted 18 weeks on the chart, peaking at #1.”

Of course we didn’t know any of this at the time we recorded our version. Ed had the piano sheet music (I think he got it from his Grandma) and we just played it as we found it. We had never heard the song before and figured out how it went by the sheet music. I play the rhythm guitar and sing the lead vocal. Ed plays the acoustic guitar. David sings ‘harmony’ and does percussion. The bass was overdubbed later. We refer to the “Fab Four” in our liner notes, believing that our approach to the song echoed some of the early uninhibited Beatles rockers. This originally appeared on the cassette release of the same name and was credited to the faux-group The Have Mersey Beats.

Fried psychedelia, relentless experimentation, hunter-gatherer improv, space rock doom, heavy rock monumentalism and daffy cover tunes. Walls of Genius rips holes in the fabric of space and time, kicks you in the ass and leaves you smiling. 80s stalwarts of the cassette culture, they're back in the 21st century. The most unique band that ever was. Really! ... more
