All Day And All Of The Night
Listen now
Description
It's time to revisit The Kinks Kanon and do "All Day & All of the Night." Have you ever noticed how weird the title is? Probably not, because of the Riff! It's dirty and has that "Louie Louie" fairy dust which produces misty brain fog where you can't remember how many duh duhs are in it.  And Ray Davies savors syllables - apeman poet! The song travelled across the puddle and New York's Knickerbockers were one of the first to kover it. Their version adds sax and has a great sproing-y solo, but it's no slam dunk. The third kulprits are Kenny & the Kasuals from Dallas - they add a kool organ, a RAW vocal performance, & a loosy goosy guitar solo. The final Kountdown goes to The Remains, who leave us with a very rockin', snotty version. Oh kome on! (and send Weldon to Bulgaria!!)
