Land Of 1000 Dances

Pastronauts Rejoice! We're finally taking you to the Land of 1000 Dances! The first dance goes to Chris Kenner, the author and soulful belter of the original one-chord wonder (1:30). CK mixes the sacred and secular, and Allen Toussaint and the band give the song a swampy New Orleans groove. Next, we cut a rug with Cannibal & The Headhunters (30:05). Were these guys an actual band, or a vocal group?! These guys add the famous "na na na"'s - which gets us talkin' about the doo-wop influence on the song, AND we ask: did the Beatles steal said "na na na"'s for the end of "Hey Jude"?  Clear the dancefloor for Wilson Pickett's 1966 version - the one you all know (54:14).  The groove! The grunts! The drums! The screams! The man and the band really  take you to the Promised Land. The last dance goes to the Chants R&B from New Zealand (1:18:25). This one's a real garage version - wild, fast, savage, and listen to that ending! Watch us work, y'all!!
