I learned about this version filling out a quiz. I'm 64 and still love this song. So I thought I'd listen to it. They do the song justice. I'm going to listen to more from this guy but I agree with everyone it's a shame he wasn't a big success. Reminds me of the Stray Cats which we don't have anymore. I'm glad this got over 2 million views.

Saw Eric 25 years ago in Tootsies and then a year later. A dynamaic and talented performer/composer. How on earth he didn't make it big I'll never know. He played in London and Country Music People gave him a great write up. When I see some of the muppets today, I just shake my head.

My late mom heard this on the radio and loved it! She always felt like the Statler Brothers version was a bit too "chipper" for someone who's slowly losing their mind. She said that, with the drums and Eric's deeper darker voice, the song becomes more dangerous-sounding, like he's about to crack and start killing people a la "Falling Down". (If you haven't seen that movie, watch it. It's good)
@wendyfrench8042 Жыл бұрын
I love the original but it hit me that it is more chipper, or at least in the early versions of it. My mom played this type of music when I was a kid (born in 70) so even though it wasn’t “new”, it felt new to me. I miss this type of song.

@nicolaslanzoni93852 ай бұрын
dangerous? killing people? dude's just depressed, the "chipper" tone is just him trying to mask it, after all why would he keep saying he's fine and having "lots of fun" if he sounded depressed and edgy ?^the happy and quirky melody also contrasts well with the lyrics and gives very particular anxiety notes that are missing on this cover. Dude on this one sounds like he already gave up and is being ironic about it ; While on the original he sounds like he's tryna super hard to convince not just his friends but mostly himself he's fine

Written by Lew Dewitt. It was first performed by The Statler Brothers, and was released as their debut single in September of 1965. The song became popularity in January of 1966, spending four weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1966, the song won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary (R&R) Performance - Group (Vocal or Instrument). In 1967, Nancy Sinatra covered the song for her album "Boots" (1967). In 1975, The Statler Brothers rerecorded the song for their first Greatest Hits album; "The Best of the Statler Brothers". The song was featured as the soundtrack to the 1994 film "Pulp Fiction". In 2000, Eric Heatherly covered the song for his debut album "Swimming in Champagne" (2000), also his debut single. Heatherly's rendition reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The rendition was made into the song's music video, which was directed by Gerry Wenner.🙂
