A fairly stunning cover of Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain", which begins with a bit of Hendrix' "Little Wing".

The Dickies did their share of covers as well. I still have this 45. You get the impression that they played an old Moody Blues album at 45 rpm instead of 33. :biggrin:

I'll take the Dickies version of Nights in White Satin over the original time. Curious where that version of Gigantor comes from though. Every live Dickies recording I ever heard sounded like crap, but not that one.

And of course, the theme from the Banana Splits
These bums weren't too shabby when it came to playin' a cover or two. True to his word, Dave only learned a bit of the words, but he did learn the tune.
