I covered this song once on a record I made with a band called Abominable SnowGrape. It was fun.

I extracted the vocal and slowed it down.

Oooh, get you with your whizz kid toys. :mrgreen:

Happy to be proven wrong. So what does "I hear a vibrator" refer to? I always thought it was a reference to the band.

I think so also. Can't see any other relevant reference. I can't work out if it's a dig at The Vibrators for jumping the band wagon and still sounding like the Stones. Which would be rich considering the Kinks and Who riffs the Clash were happy to adapt.

I also slowed down the album Beaconsfield version of "White Riot". I think Joe sings "They sell our land but all we get is Sunday papers".

Joe starts citing the lyrics to "What's My Name" then realises it should be "Safe European Home". Mick reminds him and Joe acknowledges by sticking his thumb up and saying "sorry".
