Black Betty!!!

[Hollywood Jesus]

Heard a new version of "Black Betty" on late-night radio and thought it was a dream. Then I heard it last week at a Timberwolves game.

So...who does it?

[DrMaddVibe]

New?

Dunno.

I only know Ram Jam.

[knuckleboner]

it's "spiderbait."

good cover.

(though, nothing beats tom jones' cover.)

[jojo2371]

[Mr Grimsdale]

whoaaaaaa black betty

[Golden AWe]

i fucking hate the new version

well, i didn't like the original either

[Ally_Kat]

it's on the one PS2 game my bro has. I think Need for Speed Underground 2.

[fe_lung]

Nick Cave's version was better!

that's what it's good for. but believe me, it's definitely good for it!

[Panamark]

Spiderbait it is !

Aussie band !

Its a lot heavier than the original..

[BrownSound1]

Haven't heard the new version...I certainly hope it is better than Ozzy's cover of Mississippi Queen. What the fuck was he thinking?

Yeah, that was pretty bad. OZZY's career really is in the shitter. He records shitty covers with Miss Piggy, records the same album over and over, plus is led like a dog on a leash. But he can't put shit aside and finally record an album with Iommi, Butler and Ward. Then again, I'm biased. I always like Sabbath much more than Ozzy solo.

I think you would like it BS1 !

[Hardrock69]

I liked the original version.

No NOT Ram Jam.

Leadbelly..recorded in 1939...

THAT was the original version.

[Hardrock69]

.

[ALMOSTsaved]

In my opinion the song is absolutely TERRIBLE.

[PhilFlappoRogan]

I think Ozzy covered Mississippi Queen because its the music in the opening scene of The Longest Yard.

Adam Sandler re-made the movie and its out in May(?)

[Panamark]

Ive never liked this song either, but the Spiderbait version is at least interesting. Got some crunchy guitars and mad banjo's going down...

...but you can imagine my concern and the amount of anger when duirng the autumn and winter, the finnish "rock" station was playing the song more than CVH, LZ and Sabbath combined!

[Panamark]

Yes ,that would be a concern... I would take CVH, LZ and Sabbath anyday over Spiderbait

[Grant]

I hated that song. It had too much overplay down here.

[Hardrock69]

I have only heard the original recording and the RamJam version which came out when I was 16...
