Can You Name This Song/Band?

[Rooster]

Basically i saw this video on Alternative Anthems on MTV2 UK about a month ago but at the end of the track the band and title didn’t come up on the screen so i have no idea who it is. I’ll try to describe the band and song as i remember.

Basically on the video the band were in this forest and there was this brunette woman singing and playing a big ol’ hollowbody electric guitar and two other guys on guitar and drums, I didn’t see a basist. The song which i don’t think is recent (Some time in the 90s) is very melodic and has some nice chorused guitars similar to the Cure or the Smiths’ sound. The only lyrics i can remember are something about an old oak tree. I know there not alot to go on but i was wondering if it rung any bells.

Sounds like it might be Belly-"Feed The Tree";I saw the video years ago;it`s Tanya Donnely from Throwing Muses/Breeders fame.

I think you are correct Salami, or at least we’re both wrong, because that is too what I thought of.

Hey Salamiguy,

The Cramps did a cover of The Way I Walk, wondering if you know who did the original version. Can’t for the live of me figure it out so any help you can give would be appreciated.

I know the question was for salami, but-

OMIGOD! I love the cramps! Stan Getz and the Tom Cats did the song back in the mid 50’s…

Getz might not be the original, but he did it first… let me try and find it…

Egh… I read it wrong, it was backed by Getz.

Sounds like you were right Jaron!Stan Getz and the Tom Cats were a 50`s rockabilly band who backed up a detroit singer named Jack Scott.So that`s who wrote it!
There`s a famous jazz saxophonist with the same name so I thought you meant him!can`t imagine him being covered by the Cramps!

The score, for those of you keeping track at home: Salamiguy – 122, Jaron – 1… [img]images/smiles/converted/biggrin.gif[/img]

If anyone has any more questions about who did what or covered what,I`ll answer them.
Jaron seems to be doing well at this too!

Hey, the one thing I’m pretty good at is cover songs. (Admitedly, I had researched that particular querie before because, well, I like the Cramps.)

[AGAP]

Hey,
