"White Horse" by Laid Back - what is this song about?

these cds were probably one of my first exposures to this stuff and after the fact, i've found a lot more of the records of stuff on 1 than 2

"Produced by Laid Back and the 7 Dwarfs"!

this got a proper repress a few months ago (with the long version of 'tainted love' on the flip, of all things).

Attn DJs: "White Horse" into "Controversy" is dance floor perfection.

if i can have that song

my version has "now that we've found love (what're we gonna do)" on the flip!

best song evar

yet another classic my mom was into before I was when this thang hit

That thing never gets old.

I remember when that song came out and my friends and I were scared out of our wits.

I remember, in fourth grade, a kid in our class brought the 12" of this in for show and tell. The teacher let him play it on the class turntable, but I don't think we even made it halfway through before it getting yanked for being "inappropriate". I'm not sure that I've heard it more than twice since then.

Was it the drugs part or the "rich / bitch" that was so incriminating?

Fly Away/Walking In The Sunshine's first few seconds are also v nice

it was probably how unbelievably nasty the beat is - there's something obviously inappropriate about the song from the very beginning

The teacher was growing more and more uncomfortable as the song played, but yeah, I think it was the "bitch" that finally pushed it over the edge.

The blasts of distorted guitar/synth-thing in "White Horse" are quite underrated and unique. One of the more underrated passages of the song is that one time the distorted guitars hit a drone and sustain for several bars early on in the song, and let the weird flute melody putter on over it.

Then in a weird tempo change, the distorted guitar/synth-thing releases, and "IF YOU WANNA RIIIDE".

Extremely subtle, beautiful, different. Even moreso than the rare accented 7-beat counts in Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" bridge -- which is also brilliant.

i would write a 45 RPM series book on "White Horse"

sub "weird tempo change" to "weird beat count" (probably due to editing the song on tape, most likely)

/staktrekman

all djs are aware of that little hurdle, as well as the hurdle near the end when everything drops out besides a percussive "BAH-BSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH" which if you've already starting mixing a track in will fuck yo shit right up

The 12" version has another such hurdled in an extended "BAH-BSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH BA-BSSSH" part that's not on the 4-beat before going back to the "RICH?... you bitch" refrain.

AH, we were talking about the same thing, never mind. Yeah, the song ends in a single cold BAH-BSSH too, but at that point, the quick fade-in will have to do.

any chance of the remix?

Hey ya'll I hate to burst your bubble, but I believe "white Horse" is refering to Heroin...Which also goes by the name of White Horse...just alittle drug info for ya all...Still a Kickin' song!!!

i wonder how many times this has been done? i know many of my friends and i have done it at various house parties and the like. it almost seems way too obvious but it works every time.
