Big Daddy MP3s Cutting Their Own Groove
Big Daddy was a favorite of Dr Demento, going back to an early incarnation with "Hamster Love" in the 1970s, but they got more interesting coming into the 1990s with their big high concept. Story was that they were a band from the 1950s captured by the Soviets and held prisoner for 25 years, released in the mid 1980s. They went back to playing the hits of the day- but having missed out on the musical developments of the 1960s and 70s, they end up playing them "50s style." Thus, on their prime 1991 album Cutting Their Own Groove (with a cover picture of a compact disc being played on an old record player), "Welcome to the Jungle" comes out sounding like "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." This stuff works a lot better in practice than what you might expect, cause these guys got skillz. Besides being some good jams, these recordings will give you new perspective on the songs. For one thing, it turns out that "Ice Ice Baby" is a perfectly good Chuck Berry car song. I bet I bought and gave away several dozen copies of this cutout CD at Best Buy over a years time a dozen years back. But now it's out of print entirely, and fetching collector's prices for used copies. So, in the interest of public education, here's the album:
