Uncle D - What a brilliant find

[Dominic]

According to some of the comments it's actually an old marching song. "Black Betty" was a gun. Unusually for youtube, the comments were quite informative. I loved the remark somebody left under Uncle D's song:

"I can't believe they tried to copy Ram Jam with this inferior cover. I'm glad they're in prison."

Bioshock Infinite

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUffPtS3-7A

This was possibly my favourite computer game. It had a very rich, in-depth story which surpassed just about any film you could see. And it still looks fabulous today, seven years after it was first published.

Fun Da Da Da fact:

It is the 21st best selling single of all time, racking up over 13,000,000 sales. It has sold more copies than any single by the Beatles, Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Queen, Eminem, Prince etc etc etc

Which goes to show that sometimes it pays to keep it simple.

I used to nail that on the old Karaoke.


William Shatner

Surprisingly the Shatner version is a bit of a grower. I think Joe Jackson saves it.
