Love the Allman Bros. but sorry...they don't come close on this one. Leo's got it.

your idea of lyrics or music doesn't constitute some sort of universal definition. lots of singers use scat, expressive yells, or other gibberish sounding words as a substitute for lyrics - listen to Louie Louie and tell me you can understand what the lyrics are supposed to be. but we don't need to be talking about bad romance on this page. all I'm concerned with is THIS is a great song. Kottke must be the only person who could actually improve on the Allman brothers.

Let's see.......Do you remember the scene at the end of Hanibal?  "I couldn't eat what they gave me." "nor should you it isn't even food as I understand it." I won't dignify "Bad Romance is a great song." because....."it isn't even music as I understand it." oooo ga, la ga, ra ma, are not lyrics.

@glennataylor Bad Romance is a great song.

It's interesting to ponder that Skydog had this aspect to his musicianship. One thinks of him as the guy with the Marshall amp and the Statesborough Blues soul-scorching solos. Here, Kottke shows himself to be the amazing musician that he is -- in adding all the harmonics and other little technical things to the original. The disk this video is from -- Home and Away Revisited -- has Atkins, Watson, and Kottke playing together (OMG). And Kottke and Hedges (OMG x2).

@1jazzman9 I do it in open E, as I am pretty sure Duane did.
