Pearl Harbour - Fujiyama Mama (1980)

Hey there buddies. Today we’re checking out Pearl Harbour with her completely unhinged version of Wanda Jackson’s barely hinged Fujiyama Mama. She’ll kick your doors in, shoot your lights out, beat you up, and drop an A bomb on your head. Don't mess with this mama.

    This version is FARRRRRR more rockin' than the original. One of those instances where it becomes property of the band covering because it's that much better. Love the rockabilly-style vocals.

Cindy & Bert - Der Hund Von Baskerville (1971) Cindy & Bert, a German vocal duo (and married couple) mainly played breezy tunes akin to say, Sonny & Cher. Apparently they were quite successful with a number of pop hits on the German charts through the 70s. This here though - it's a bit of a mind boggle. We have our happy couple covering Sabbath's 1970 hit Paranoid, in the German language, but they changed the lyrics to something concerning Arthur Conan Doyle's crime novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (published 1902) which is a story of Sherlock Holmes investigating an allegedly demonic dog.  What ties together Black Sabbath and Sherlock Holmes?
