Title: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice - Lovin' Spoonful Cover Post by: seltaeb1012002 on May 10, 2014, 07:18:03 PM Just recently rediscovered this song, after seeing the flyer for the BB's Jones Beach show posted in the main forum. Always loved it as a kid. I can see why BW was inspired by it. Thanks to Joel Koster for his awesome Gold Star Chamber reverb impulse.

Thanks, man! The original's great, definitely check it out. John Sebastian's voice was so good. And supposedly the song inspired "God Only Knows".

Title: Re: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice - Lovin' Spoonful Cover Post by: seltaeb1012002 on May 10, 2014, 10:38:42 PM I've never heard the song (or really that much of anything from Lovin' Spoonful) but love the cover, which I was fully expecting. Then again, I'm always a sucker for I - III progressions. Thanks, dude! I agree, that chord progression hits you right in the gut. There's something so vibey about the original. It's very haunting in a way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbwmolF8M7o Here's a few other good songs by them, some of which you've probably heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5bUmx-hk-c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QV6FpYfbn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y23WN9t_WVU Title: Re: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice - Lovin' Spoonful Cover Post by: Niko on May 10, 2014, 10:48:11 PM Great cover! I'd like to hear you sing some more Sebastian - your voice suits the song so well.
I'm a big Lovin' Spoonful fan. Here are a few more good ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9Ic_9ehFxU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXjzOpz4Cyw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b53EbA1NBRk Title: Re: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice - Lovin' Spoonful Cover Post by: Niko on May 10, 2014, 10:52:24 PM Great cover, I'll have to go back and re-listen to the original as I don't recall enjoying it as much as I enjoyed your version. Thanks, man! The original's great, definitely check it out. John Sebastian's voice was so good. And supposedly the song inspired "God Only Knows". I think that's true, Brian used to list Sebsatian as one of his favorite singers/songwriter along with McCartney and a couple others :) Title: Re: You Didn't Have To Be So Nice - Lovin' Spoonful Cover Post by: Mendota Heights on May 10, 2014, 11:36:05 PM Great cover, I'll have to go back and re-listen to the original as I don't recall enjoying it as much as I enjoyed your version.
