He told me the version was crap, but anyway, Yello made it!!! Also, what is Eleonore (Meier) actually saying/ singing in Jungle Bill (single versions) - something like "I can't sing, no dancing" or whatever. This has been annoying me for ages!

I was lucky to find the song on a Dj service CD. It is very dancy so I dont think its what it sounds like but at least I get to hear something.(usually they totally re edit the songs so I wonder what the real one sounds like?)

You find everything from ska to mambo to techno in the same song, and it all sounds natural together. Recently I have been really getting into one particular thread in Yello's music that I don't really know how to define. Fat brass sounds, catchy trombone riffs... sort of big-band meets salsa, I guess. In particular, the cuts that come to mind are "The Race" and "La Habanera" although there are lots more. My question is this: from which sources do Yello borrow to create this particular hybrid? I know it all kind of runs together, but I am interested in finding a more "distilled" source of that sound. Is this too vague? Along those lines (but a little less Yello-related), is there anyone out there who can recommend some good rock/pop/punk bands that really use brass instruments well? Right now the things that come to mind are the Clash, Les Negresses Vertes and the New Bad Things... a pretty disparate group but I love that sound...

Oingo Boingo used to have a great brass section, up until their last album (where there was virtually none). They're about the only rock group I've ever heard that used brass in 99% of their songs, and it added some nice "flavoring"...or something. :) BL -- http://www.primenet.com/~spork/yello/ ========================================================= The box said, "Requires Windows 95 or better."

Also, there was a short run series about two years ago on FOX that was called "The Edge" . A SNL/ Mad TV sort of thing that featured Julie Brown ("Homecoming Queen"-not "downtown"). The theme song was a variation of "Si Senor The Hairy Grill" (guitar only). I wrote FOX to 1. Applaud them for having a trace of good taste 2. Ask if the proper royalties were being paid. A week or so later I saw the show with a different theme song??? Good to see so much activity coming from this newsgroup.

I happen to have this Total Devo CD which is far from good. For example, drum sounds are way too hard and monotonous for my taste. Yello instead mostly does have very ''kick ass'' drum sounds which are powerful but not ever annoying as the traditional hard snare Devo is using all of the time. But, it was a small disappointment to hear such standard drum on Yello's Tremendeous Pain song of Zebra. Though, that drum is not as hard as Devo's. If you like banging your head to wall, you like Devo. Would anyone like to get the Total Devo CD I have?

Actually, that's probably Devo's worst album! Yeck. :) Their sounds have changed several times from the 70's to the early 90's, like most bands...not always for the better, but sometimes.
