If I misheard that then please say so, but what does everyone think of the new version of Riverside by Sidney Samson?

[James R]

Brilliant song.

[DarkAngelMJH]

Riverside Motherfucker!

[Jono]

They should video Chappers dancing to it.

[DC]

how long have i been on about this track? creamfields 2009? david guetta in the main tent?

heard it before that but didn't really note it till then, they are very late with releasing this. it's already dying in clubs.

[Viv]

You're completely out there, DC!!

I don't like it, I'm afraid. It makes my head fizz. Sooooo repetitive.

[Roy H]

On a par with Paolo then? I'm not keen either, seems he's going for the rank outsiders as records of the week at the mo.......... :|

[Viv]

Scott comes up with some of the craziest stuff for ROTW, and, quite often, they strike me as Records he would NOT actually choose. Obviously, he must have to just promote certain things.

The records he chose during Zane's show - the versus - I liked much better.

I think if I listened to that Riverside over & over, I would actually have to be carted out altogether.

Even WORSE than Paulo N.

[Roy H]

The records he chose during Zane's show - the versus - I liked much better.

I missed this, what did he choose?

[Viv]

Among the choons was the Smiths, which was great. Also, he began with a really old fashioned song which was really slow, then was really fast at the end. Something with "Mary" and "buckets" in it, I think?? Something like that.

Listen again: www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/

[Roy H]

Mary? Buckets? Hmm, no song springs to mind!! Thanks for the link, I'll go take a listen and see if I can identify it!

*walks away scratching head*

[Viv]

this may not be quite right. I was a bit tired at the time. :-/ It's the first choon by Scott on the show though - that much I do know. :-)

[Roy H]

Right, the song you referred to is 'Proud Mary' which was first a hit way back in 1969 for Creedence Clearwater Revival. The version played was Ike and Tina Turner from 1971. Some of the lyrics are difficult to hear but I could hear no reference to 'buckets' !!!!! :hahaha:

[KingTutsWWH]

I'm surprised, but I really like this. Choon.

[Jono]

It amuses me because there's a riverside in Norwich.

middlesbrough's stadium is also called the riverside. sadly this track is a bit too late for gareth southgate.

[Viv]

Is he though, or has it been, in fact, recommended by someone else. Also, it's not the only thing big thing about TODAY (thank God) : example = Robbie Williams, Lady Gaga, etc., etc.

I find it to be repetitive nonsense, which sounds like any other club choon... they all sound the same really. Mindless. Even Zane Lowe commented just last week on how much of the stuff coming out at the moment sounds exactly the same.

Agreed. And so many people need to stop the sampling of songs from years back. Enough.

Thanx!! I don't know where I got the buckets from. :|

"The song was written on a steamboat called the Mary Elizabeth owned by the Grafton family" :*

Thanx for the Wiki stuff, Roy - very interesting indeed.

See, a little bit of history, DC, so I can learn something!! :-) Mind you, I've learned too that Sidney Sampson is a Dutch DJ!!

[Roy H]

Mind you, I've learned too that Sidney Sampson is a Dutch DJ!!

He sounds more like a plumber to me...........

[Viv]

I know what you mean actually!! :-)

[cxx666]

I'm not a fan of the new version with the vocal. It was so much better on the original version (anyone thats not heard that just youtube it) when I was last out the place erupted when that started

[DarkAngelMJH]

He doesn't just like camp songs Viv, Ima sure he's quite capable of listening to this song and making it ROTW himself.

first and foremost though, you need to learn that everyone has different tastes to you. scott is capable of choosing his own tracks, he's probably been watching it send places wild when he's played it out at venues. waiting for the full release is important at radio 1 unless your annie mac or judge jules with specialist shows.

and excuse me. aren't you supposed to hate zane because of his comments about madonna (queen of the world est.)?

watch out for major lazer - pon de floor, another similar track. might get a release.

[DC]

hmmm. didn't hear the new version until scott played it, listen here:-

http://www.recordoftheday.com/www/tracks/tracks.php?clipID=1827

don't think it's as good as the original, then i guess this one will lead people to the first one.

OK. Fair point. I guess you'll know best and all, working for actual Judge Jules!!

Zane kind of suited my point of view, at the moment when I was listening, when he came out with the comment that everything is sounding the same at the moment!! So many things do though (I stand by this point).

As to Madonna: Zane doesn't have a bloody clue.

What do you think of the Riverside video?? I don't like it, I'm afraid.
