Hi All,
4. I´m Raving - covers the song "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn (1991)
this was covered? back in the early 90's (before scooter) as "I'm Raving", so does that make it a cover of a cover? :-) as i understand the story[1] it was released[2] as a white label and it was extremely popular. so they tried to release it as a proper official release, and got threatened with heavy legal stuff. supposedly it was to have been withdrawn from sale and marked never to be released. but in the years since then, i've heard it occasionly, in a slightly different form each time. the only version[3] i have is a rm file of "shut up and dance[4]" doing it. time passed, Scooter[5] formed & started covering songs and the rest is history. i had thought though that it was a much older track than 91. a quick google shows heaps of hits. http://users.bestweb.net/~ecnev/mc/lyrics/wim.html - says its copyright 1990 by cohn. http://www.geocities.com/memphis_angelpig/memphis/walkinginmemphis.html says its Tennessee Williams which would make it a lot older. but i'm too lazy to find more (plus explorer crashed :-( gotta run brendan 1- bear in mind i was in perth so its not like i was in a position to know the complete nothing but the truth story. 2- i dont know who did the white label. 3- I actually bought a compilation cd that listed "i'm raving" hoping it was the one i refer to above. unfortunately it was a different "cover". this time to the tune of "i'm sailing"? i think it was the from the score to "johnathon livingston seagull"? if you're really curious, email me and i'll knockup a mp3 or something. 4- has anyone got "diary of a crackhead" by "shutup and dance" ? ideally you'd have the 12inch that it was on with "the green room". i'd love to get mp3's of those tracks. i've got the vinyl back in storage at my parents but it hasnt seen light of day for 8 years or so. 5- just cos i'm too lazy to search now, when did scooter form and what was their first hit? what happened to ultrasonic? i'm guessing that ultrasonic disbanded, there was a vacuum in the market for whateverstyleitscalled, and marketing said "we need another ultrasonic" so scooter was formed? probably better to reply offlist.
