Little Feat: Tripe Face Boogie
Download [It's a free Creative Commons file: link here]
I spent a good part of this week searching and think about a
song – any song – that fit the defined topic “brief passages from other songs”.
I must have listened to 100s of songs and racked (or is that wracked?) my brain
– feeling mostly that my efforts were in vain, although lots of possibilities came to mind.
Before the week ends, here is a link to a song that includes
a rather weak link to a “passage from another song”.
Once again, it is a creative commons/freely downloadable
song from archive.org from a band I continue to flog: Little Feat doing Tripe
Face Boogie. The lyrical association that I stretch to match the topic are four simple words “New York, New York”: while Little Feat mention
several other cities, the only one they repeat is NY, NY. They may or may not
have had any intention to reference the Liza Minelli/Frank Sinatra
version, but it seems to me that the thread exists – however weak.
And, however weak, I wanted once again to contribute
something before this week (weak!) expires.
