Take a lesson from THREE, who do The Stupidity!!
Solomon Burke 1963 (1:31)
A celebration of universal, life-affirming stupidity. You get hit with King Solomon’s voice and his band’s horns and it knocks you silly! As always, rock and roll dumbness leads to selfless, liberating transcendence: Erik & Weldon at their most philosophical on this one.
The Undertakers 1964 (44:34)
These underrated Liverpudlians “beat" up and strip down the original. Another soaring tenor, Jackie Lomax, and also some soaring sax keep it hot and cool. Weldon says some stupid stuff about New Zealand, in keeping with the theme.
Dr. Feelgood 1976 (1:05:31)
These pub rock princes finally get on the podcast. Who needs horns when you have Wilko Johnson on guitar? He has literal chops! It’s the title track off their No. 1 live album, so these dum-dums know the power of “Stupidity”!
