My Three Wow Songs




I was surprised when I listened to this, because I was given the impression that it was really boring and it sucked the life out of Little Richard's original version, but I was perplexed when I heard this guy give new life to this song, not exactly more, but new/different. I also enjoyed it more musically, it gave me that old 50s feeling more than the original. I feel it's a matter of opinion though, they are the same song, so one is not better than the other.


I chose this because I've heard it many times before and I like the guitar part to it, reminds me of some modern guitar riffs I've heard. The British invasion is probably the most exciting music to me because so many bands use their style now-a-days so it's easy to relate to these. I was struck by the fact music that sounds so modern was produced in the era this was made.
The Sex Pistols are very well-known through out the youth of today, and that's what a band strives for, making an impact on people. With Sid Vicious, the Sex Pistols rose to the top of rock and became legends. I chose this because I've heard alot of songs by them, and it's always refreshing to hear them again and possibly jot down notes about them like this. I've heard this song in alot of videogames too, like Guitar Hero 3 and Tony Hawk games, it was surprising to see that games produced today still use music made before the new millenium.

Yeah I disagree! Because When Comparing the styles of the song "Tutti Frutti" (the styles sung by Pat Boone and Little Richard) one notices that the tone and the actual reservedness that is instilled into the song are completly different depending on if its Pat Boone or Little Richard Singing it. Pat Boone goes for much more of the "I'm singing this because i was told to. Also i heard that i'll make alot of money... but im not too excited about this song". While Little Richard goes much more for the "I'm singing this because i can and because i like it!". Just in those two "Qoutes" one can immediatly see a difference in the two singers personalities while singing the song. Personally i prefer the Little Richard version. Perhaps because it is closer to the genres of music that i hear today.
