Title: Any info about a J-pop Guess I'm Dumb cover circa 1996? Post by: puni puni on August 28, 2015, 01:39:48 AM According to Russ Titelman:
Quote Yes, we co-wrote "Sherri She Needs Me" and "Guess I'm Dumb." The second one was recorded by Glen Campbell; a Japanese woman just recently recorded it and it was on a Japanese album that sold about 700,000 copies. Can you imagine?! (https://books.google.com/books?id=qQkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA44#v=onepage&q&f=false) The cover by Tatsuro Yamashita is pretty well known but Google doesn't say anything about a woman covering it in the '90s.

Maybe there is info on it out there somewhere----in Japanese!

It got me to a cool live version by The Pen Friend Club: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9poPcz3rZ4 but that's all... Title: Re: Any info about a J-pop Guess I'm Dumb cover circa 1996? Post by: Sandy Baby on August 30, 2015, 08:07:46 AM (Not 1996 --)

Came across those on my cybertravels but it's great to have them all in one place. No J-Pop circa 1996 though. Still, it's heartwarming to see so many cover versions...

Came across those on my cybertravels but it's great to have them all in one place. No J-Pop circa 1996 though. Still, it's heartwarming to see so many cover versions... Perhaps the reference could be explained by these notes from The Louis Phillipe discography? >>I Still Believe In You (1996) Polystar PSCR-5465 (trattoria menu.89) La Pluie Fait Des Claquettes/Sorry/You Mary You/Delta Kiss/Lolita's Back In Town/Like Nobody Do/A Paris/When The Party's Over/With All Our Loving/Lazy English Sun/Mad Mad World/I Just Wasn't Made For These Times/This Picture's Nailed In My Heart/Farewell Maria/Little Pad/Nowhere Square/When Will You Be Back/Guess I'm Dumb/From Season To Season/Every Word Meant Goodbye A "Best Of" covering all of Louis's career, from the original Border Boys' Tribute EP to (but not including) Jackie Girl. The tracks were chosen by Japanese pop star Cornelius, a lifelong fan. The Border Boys' tracks have never been released on CD before. << Or perhaps the Wondermints version ( released 1996) which was recorded at the insistence of their Japanese Label? http://www.allmusic.com/album/wonderful-world-of-the-wondermints-mw0000464882 Title: Re: Any info about a J-pop Guess I'm Dumb cover circa 1996?

Louis Phillipe? The guy who covered Paddy McAloon's Nightingales? Title: Re: Any info about a J-pop Guess I'm Dumb cover circa 1996? Post by: Gertie J. on August 30, 2015, 10:14:32 AM yeah that's him.
Title: Re: Any info about a J-pop Guess I'm Dumb cover circa 1996? Post by: Rob Dean on August 30, 2015, 11:20:17 AM I know my band mate Sean Macreavy did rather a nice (and mellow) version on his 1994 album 'Dumb Angel' (good title for an album :lol) back in 1994.
Tried to find it to upload it here (for free, its on allmusic/ I Tunes for download) from the net but to no avail, but it's certainly worth tracking down as is the rest of the album (including a lyric/vocal track for 'Your Summer Dream') Title: Re: Any info about a J-pop Guess I'm Dumb cover circa 1996?
