Mitch Ryder *February 26, 1945

[sonicandvisualsurprises]

1966 Little Latin Lupe Lu gets a sly twist!

The rhythm shuffles with confidence, the vocals lean in with just enough bite, and the track moves with a cool, no-nonsense stride.

You can listen to the original by the Righteous Brothers here (realeased in 1963) but Mitch Ryder’s high-gear take was my first encounter with the song, released in

1966

One song, many lives! Explore them all via #double dose, #triple dose or #quadruple dose on the blog (works better in the app).

Mitch Ryder – Er ist nicht mein Präsident, 1983

I discovered Mitch Ryder thanks to Springsteen's cover of Devil With a Blue Dress On. This 1983 song is sadly still very much topical.

The first time I saw him in a movie

Was in black and white on my colour TV

He was a big star in a football game

When shit hits the fans now we'll know who to blame

He's out of time and old

For him we must pray

For if he should die, in comes the Bush CIA

Er ist nicht mein Praesident

Ich bin aus Amerika

Er ist nicht mein Praesident

Ich bin aus Amerika
