dotdudesays...The first time I saw this, the tune stuck in my head.
theo47says...I'd like to know what the process is called they used to make this - it looks like they're deliberately cutting out frames from the finished product to give it that herky-jerkyness.
Plus, that look that Neil gives the camera after that first abrupt verse makes you wanna watch the entire video. Great song, of course, too.
SnakePlisskensays...From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everybody's_Rockin'
Everybody's Rockin' is a 1983 album by Neil Young. The album was recorded with the Shocking Pinks (a band made up just for the occasion), and features a selection of rockabilly songs (both covers and original material.) Running less than a half of an hour, the music is unlike anything else in Young's career. However, Everybody's Rockin' is typical of his 1980s period in that it bears little (or no) resemblance to the album released before it (Trans (1982), a synth-heavy, electro-rock album), nor the one released after it (Old Ways (1985), which is pure country.)
Everybody's Rockin' is Neil Young's shortest album, clocking in at under 25 minutes. In a 1995 interview with MOJO, Young said that the album was supposed to have included the songs Get Gone and Don't Take Your Love Away From Me (which later appeared on Lucky Thirteen), but that Geffen, his record company, cancelled the recording sessions. [1]
The following year, Geffen sued Young for making "uncharacteristic, uncommercial records", because of this record and its predecessor. In the Mojo interview Young says "R.E.M. were going to go with Geffen, then they heard I was being sued and everything, they just dropped all contact with Geffen and signed with Warner Bros instead. Geffen actually lost R.E.M. simply for suing me over Everybody's Rockin'!"
Young wrote the song "Wonderin'" long before the sessions for Everybody's Rockin'. It dates from at least the After the Goldrush era, and was part of his setlist at solo acoustic shows in 1970.
