Horrendous as that is i've heard worse on the northern scene over the years, "Peanut duck " anyone.

Peanut Duck , The Natural Facts ,Eve of destruction all about the same level as this :thumbsup:

This is like the worst thing I've ever heard. Every time this record gets played, a little more of motown dies somehow... like a house gets abandoned or a factory closes...

:thumbsup: Not half as bad as I was expecting. Just a poor alternative version.

More like finding an abandoned house if you're a squatter - it will suffice for some.

And yes, there is far worse out there IMO - I'll go for the Peanut Duck too.

Oh my God 'Eve of Destruction' - I'd managed to blank that record out of memory

Peanut duck,i thought we was on about bad records. :thumbsup:

Outrageous!!........wonder whats on the other side? :thumbsup::rolleyes:

I've always hated that record and never understood why so many people raved about it. Her attempt at scatting halfway through the tune sounds like she's put a duck through a blender.

I bet if a big name DJ bought it, played it out and talked it up it would be massive in weeks. No worse than Joe Jama or Joey Delorenzo IMO... :thumbsup:

The record mention in the first post sound almost like Skiffle :thumbsup:

But the worst record by far, IMO..

Natural Facts-Girl don't cry-Lucky Lou

Anyone have a sound file for it, just to support my case. If there was a case for not buying records blind this is it. Tim Ashibend one night at Stafford came up to me a said "Dave, you got to buy this it's Keb's new cover up and it's only the second copy to turn up". I did, big mistake, took me another 5 years to off load it. :rolleyes:

Oh great - this thread's getting worse by the minute. Now you've mentioned the title this one's come back to me as well! Think it's on one of the Keb Live Stafford clips that are on here, but I'm not going looking for it!

I hate JH even more than Muriel Day & I'm not suffering from revisionism.

Yeahm that's it Del-Capris - awful

Yeah, but you didn't have to play it Dave!

Two of Keb's other awful Stafford plays IMO:

'Emotions' can't remember what this was covered as or who it actually is and don't care to be reminded and the Enchantments 'I'm In Love With your Daughter'. The latter aslways has and still is popular though I've no idea why (sounds like it should have been on the Nuggets LP to me.

I own the natural facts 45 but I guess I bought it as a label filler since I had that TNJs (which I also think is bad actually). But at least the natural facts just sounds like a bad garage record and isn't someone singing way out of tune on a known motown song. I don't know the "peanut duck" record people are talking about -- what is the artist?

That's an absolute shocker! It could have been me drunk doing karaoke!

Please please can someone post up some of the other wrong-uns mentioned in this thread. The TV is shite tonight and I fancy a good laugh.

I just listened to the peanut duck and it's not even in the same league as this one. I think people are just bitter from hearing it a lot. I think the record I posted is still in the lead...

Peanut Duck , The Natural Facts ,Eve of destruction all about the same level as this :thumbsup:

Girl dont cry ? Great record :rolleyes:

Trent Sisters Love it

Enchantments Awsome , personal taste i suppose .

It's a cover up. It's actually by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer! :rolleyes:

How about Arthur Willis & Soulful Dynamic's ?

Peanut duck , ok shit title , but wot a dance floor filler , if you were,nt there at the time keb was playing this at the 100 or stafford and you didnt dance you were one legged , it was tunes like this that made the 100 club and stafford one step ahead , long live the dance !!

Sorry i was at both venues at the time , it made me cringe then and still does. It certainly WASN'T tunes like this that made the 100 club & stafford one step ahead. There were plenty tunes that did but jeez this wasn't one of them.

I hate to ask, but could someone post a clip of the peanut duck? It's my morbid curiosity..

Oh, please don't - in this instance ignorance is bliss (trust me)

Simon posted it in Media. It's my last played clip.

Worst Northern record ever is The Four Chaps - Will you or won't you. Not imo, it just is. Sounds like and east end barrow boy on lead vocals. Just an awful pile of truly terrible cack that makes all of the above mentioned tracks look like the Cairo's.

those are some pretty bad vocals :huh:

but I have heard worse - 4 Vandals anyone :)

Im sure he played the Trent Sisters as well ?

jesus, the Trent sisters is amazing. Not a northern record maybe but a good record surely?? :ohmy:

I think the Peanut duck is a cool dance craze type record, she dont sing too good but kind of cute. Good fun record IMO with a catchy hook at least, more than you can say for a lot of 'serious' Northern

i agree, not my cup of tea but it's a great dance record. i never though it was a "northern" record anyway. It sounds more sixties beat than soul to me.

Anyone who doesn't get things like 'Peanut Duck & 'The Kid' etc. doesn't understand where NS is coming from imo, it's not about serious Soul it's about Soul related/Motownish sounding records that come alive in a dancehall, all IMHO.

PMSL that is so absolutely stunningly terrible that I almost quite like it - vocal reminds of benecio del torro's character in the usual suspects 'yarrr, he'll flip ya' :thumbup:

Yeah well said mate. Peanut Duck is a fantastic dance track. Lyrics, vocal, not good, but dance wise, it's amazing, and so is The Kid, one of the very best dancers ever. I used to love the Simon Soussan version of The Joker (released as The Royal Vibes) as well with the laughing taken off and the vibes put on, they only really used to play it at the anniversaries so it was often talked about. Of course at the time we just thought it was another version of the original. One of the worst vocals ever put on a record is that of the singer on The Carstairs yet half of you deaf aids rave on about that turd.
