Fuck yes it is.

And I was going to say on the other thread part of the reason that drummer is funky is because he knows when not to be funky. The main beat on this song is pretty simple and the syncopation is more in the organ/guitar/bass - what makes it funky is the interplay. Unlike in Smells Like Teen Spirit where everyone is basically hitting all the same hits at the same time and equally hard.

One of my dance students has been practically begging me to use this in class and I've been holding out mostly for the reasons Gott Punch outlines, but I think now is the time to give in.

I used to draw cartoons of rock groups as a kid, and Steppenwolf epitomized what they should look like: lead singer with shades, organist with 'fro, bassist in psychedelic kaftan. Don't think anyone in this clip was wearing a medallion, but I always put those in too.

This song would be acceptable if it dropped the conceit of a "magic carpet ride" and adopted a narrative of a hovercraft and its workings.

There is much beauty in the working of devices. Sorcery is unnecessary for flight.

banaka, Friday, 17 September 2010 09:22 (fifteen years ago)

Love how John straps on the git for the 3 second solo.
