The Searchers - Popcorn Double Feature скачать видео бесплатно

Buddy Woodward

According to the sheet music, and co-writer Larry Weiss, the lyric is, "...that BLIND man is your teacher." The Searchers leave out the word "blind" and sing, "...THAT man is your teacher..." It's *not* "black man."

Song was so far ahead of its time many didnt understand it!!BRAVOO!

It's maddening. After 1965's big hit Goodbye My Love they had five more strong singles up their sleeves, and these got hardly noticed. Popcorn, my favorite track next to I'll Be Missing You didn't chart at all. OK, there was a musical revolution going on in 1967, but sometimes I think that the new era provided too much ground breaking music, the opposition became overpowering. But Popcorn should have provided the Searchers with a grand comeback. Top 5, at least.

The Mighty Fall covered it on their Extricate LP

Great track. This was recorded by The Firm (?) or another group in the 80's. I remember that version also.

Love it , Thanks for the vid.

It clearly sounds like "blind man is your teacher," not "black man." "Blind man" makes more sense too.

St Pauli

i've got the 45 and I don't like this cover very much.just dosen't have the raw sound of the original.

bossrat

Do you have a copy? Because I can't find a link anywhere. The original was by Tim Wilde and he says: "Come let me be your teacher" and "Let me be your teacher." Lyrics are given at 'tsrocks' but unless we can see the original lyrics by Larry Weiss and Scott English, we shall differ.

@bossrat Sorry, with all respect you are incorrect. Take a look at the sheet music.

bossrat

@KafeSociety It is not "that man" in the Searchers' version. It is "black man."

bossrat

@Stube437 It is 'black' man. Yes, those were the days. 'The Fall' changed it, not wishing to be associated with any taint of 'racism,' of course. Damn the re-writers of history.

bossrat

@IDLERACER You heard it right.

snailhairdune

Discovered this song around 1983 when I bought the original single in an Australian charity shop for....10 cents!!! Gotta love that! The best track by The Searchers IMHO.

Andrew Swift

The best Searchers record, but the only UK chart it made was the Radio London Fab 40.

MrLaburnum

A sanitised, but nonetheless excellent version of a significant, but neglected song.

KafeSociety

I thought that too when I first heard it -- & it made perfect sense to me -- but it's actually "THAT man is your teacher."

IDLERACER

By any chance, is this tune supposed to be a comment on the film "To Sir With Love" which was out at the time? Perhaps I'm mis-hearing the chorus but it sounds like: Popcorn Double Feature The Whole World's A Funny Farm Black Man Is Your Teacher No Need To Be Alarmed
