Tomangoes Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Excuse me if this has been asked before, but what are the words spoken in the middle. I bought a bootleg of this in about 1977/8 and it was a big, big, revived tune, although apart from nostalgia keeping it popular, it is as wierd as Northern Soul gets. Still I was always curious as to what Travis says. Ed

Still I was always curious as to what Travis says. Ed Not sure myself Ed .... but a mate of mine was always convinced the words were.... "Cap, u-turn, then do it again, love you" then scratched backwards off course.... well they're the words he used to sing back then.... he suggested it was part of the dance moves of the day to it USA-stylee.... don your cap, turn around, then carry on dancing.... he said it made sense to him .... Make your own mind up from the snippet taken from the "All-Night Oldies" (KTF 1) bootleg LP ....
Tomangoes Posted July 24, 2006 Author Posted July 24, 2006 Cheers It makes sense, but Travis (assuming it is his vocals) sounds off his head. I may have to off mine next time I listen to it to see if its easier to define. On a wider note, looking back I cant imagine how we used to dance to stuff like this. Ed Ed

Guest Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I always thought it was something like " copy cat, do that again wont you?"

" UOY SEVOL GNAG EHT TIBANGNAD - NIATYPPAC " Which , when played backwards is " CAPPYTAIN - DANGNABIT THE GANG LOVES YOU " God , don't you just love this scene . MALC BURTON
Guest Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I just played this.. thanks a lot... what an absolutely awful record!
Dayo Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Capital! You do do it gain, won't you? Then reverse That's what I always thought. Wheel monster, but it has dated hasn't it?
Billy Freemantle Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Wheel monster, but it has dated hasn't it? Yes, it has. But in its day it was great to dance to.
Tomangoes Posted July 28, 2006 Author Posted July 28, 2006 I just played this.. thanks a lot... what an absolutely awful record! Your wrong. It is an awful Soul record, but its a great Northern Soul record. Play it again. If your toes or feet move, thats the proof. Its more rythmn a blues, but so were plenty of others at the time. Fife Piper etc. Only good for nostalgia these days I think. Ed
Paul R Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 St Maries youth club in Southport 1971, massive sound and along with the Snake, Little Piece Of Leather, Cool Jerk, etc was my introduction to this wonderful music, and I still love them all. Paul
Val (Chunky) Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 It's one of those goods old quirky 'Northern Soul' records ..............I like it
