As someone who's had a band, I hate to think what they paid the singers for "ooooh...oooooh"...but maybe they sing more on other tunes :-) I actually liked this a LOT. As you know, I like guitar, I LOVE sax, piano, other instruments...it's a tad slow for me, but it's good and if it's Dweezil on the guitar, he's pretty darned good!!
Z, you have to be a real FZ fan to like the original I guess, but the orchestra version probably does have more appeal. Yea, Dweezil on guitar.
FZ is not well liked because he was a musical Lenny Bruce kinda guy but he did put some great compositions together.
They made his parents name him something else when he was born or they weren't going to deliver him. Stick up the butt kinda thing, so they put David on his birth certificate. Later on when he knew what the deal was, he had his name legally changed to Dweezil. His sister's name is Moon Unit. Not far from Luna actually eh? Little trivia there.
If you listen to the original first, this long version is probably more appealing. FZ was a real force on guitar and never got recognition for it because most his tunes were dark comedy.
