Twist and Shout

Uh, favorite cover.

We do a thing with, uh, Twist and Shout by The Beatles and then Ritchie Valens' La Bamba.

So they're both in the-

Oh.

Nice

... 'cause they're both in the same key, and it's the same chord progression.

Like, so first we play Twist and Shout, then we would play, like, La Bamba, kind of.

Like, people would be like, "Oh, cool."

I randomly, when I was in the States, come across a cover- Beatles cover band, and I didn't realize how many songs that were theirs.

You know what I mean? Like Twist and Shout-

Yeah

... and all this, and you're like, "Oh, now I understand why they were so fucking good and big."

Yes.

And I just, like, on that kind of track, like on Twist and Shout, we talked about at the beginning-

Yes

... is like, is just so great.

It's performed really well.

John's vocals are amazing.

Like, not quite Twist and Shout levels of, like, almost about to fail, but, like-

[laughs]

The Solomon Brothers are gonna bring Berns over to work with the- them and try to keep their career in motion, which he's a songwriter as well.

Yeah, he, uh, he was the co-author of Twist and Shout, uh, The Beatles' absolutely epic hit.

Yeah, it was originally done by The Isley Brothers, and The Beatles covered it off of them.

And he's gonna co-write, uh, Under the Boardwalk, and he's gonna help them get their first single out, or one of their early singles, which is an A side/B side hit.

and Shout.

Twist and Shout, yeah.

But that was the Beatles covered? Beatles covered? Oh, I didn't know that.

Who wrote?

and Shout.

Probably Chubby.

The Isley Brothers did Twist and Shout first.

They made it popular.

I'm like, you know, first five Beatles records for 50% covers.

How many artists even know that they didn't write Twist and Shout? You know, like, but if they...

But the Beatles thumbprint on it, it's just will forever be their song.

You know, like it's it's it's it's what it's it's what made it remarkable.

Shake it up, baby.

Twist and shout, twist and shout.

Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now.

Come on, baby.

in which, as we just heard, the lead character played by, uh, Matthew Broderick-

Matthew Broderick, yeah

... performed The Beatles' rendition of Twist and Shout.

Thanks to all that, on this day in 1986, Twist and Shout by The Beatles reentered the top 10, I believe.

And, yes, this song always makes me think of Ferris Bueller's Day Off as well.

It is our friends the Beatles and it's Twist and Shout.

Question number five, featured in a movie.

This was from the Blues Brothers and the Blues Brothers band here with Ray Charles doing Shake a Tail Feather.

And then this should be able to, I mean, this should be able to do this one.

Twist and Shout or Money.

Wow, they really like patterned the records after each other.

Very patterned, yeah.

Twist and Shout for sure.

So Please Please Me absolutely smashed it 10-4 there.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
