No se que poner de los nervios yo la cantaba cuando tenia 25 años todos los roquedos de buenos aires me aplaudían me gustaba tanto que la sentía x dentro
This is the album version. The freq range in hz for the slide guitar was under-boosted in the original, so yeah good catch, we boosted that range and the guitar popped out more.
@gildylan8703 American politics; about the fall of the Nixon administration, which to Murray Head (the original artist) symbolized the corruption and decline of America after the disaster in Viet Nam (and the general attacks on dissent and fomenting of coups overseas and everything else the left despised about Nixon). The song is from the point of view of Nixon's famed "silent majority", who were against the hippies and the "black riots" of the 1960s and clung to "law and order" as a way to hold on to (their idealized version of) the past. The title comes from the fable about how, when on trial for conspiring to lose the 1919 World Series (for a payoff from gamblers), disgraced baseball star Joe Jackson was confronted by a heartbroken child who asked "Say it ain't so, Joe!" . In the story, Jackson sadly replies "It is so", but of course in real life that cornball event never happened, Jackson was acquitted, and there''s a case to be made that Jackson didn't even know what his teammates were doing. But the American media were as free with the fibs 100 years ago as they are nowadays. Journalistic integrity may have been in vogue in the 1970s, but the powerful and the corrupt put a stop to that, too. I'm sure somebody could try to adapt this to criticism of Joe Biden…but the lyrics do also contain the verb "trump", so it could be used either way.. (I'm in the "a pox on both their houses!" school of thought myself. Even if US politics never got anywhere near as pro-human as things did in Europe, we are now so hopelessly controlled by the forces of oligarchy that 1975 looks like an unobtainable Utopia, too. So perhaps I'm part of the crowd crying that "the good old days are gone" and Murray Head would mock me, as well. But apparently the UK is far too busy cheering on the Nazis to bother with looking backwards, so…) I prefer Roger's vocal to Murray Head's but although Jimmy McCulloch is a guitar master, I think Bob Weston did a better job with the slide guitar on the original. (But Murray's marriage lasted until 1992, so I guess Weston had learned his lesson about sniffing around bandmates' wives. Whether Mick Fleetwood actually beat him up or not.)

ROGER DALTREY - SAY IT AIN'T SO JOE lyrics
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe and I've got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe please tell us it ain't so
They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good ole days are gone
The army and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you Joe and they're ruining our show
(Guitar Solo)
(Ooo Babies)
Don't you think we're gonna get burned
(Ooo Babies)
Don't you think we're gonna to get turned
We're gonna get burned
We're gonna get learned
Where going to get turned
Where going to get burned
Where going to get burned
Ooo learn
Turn
Burned
Ooo burned
Yea.....
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe please tell us it ain't so
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
I'm sure there telling us lies Joe and I've got a right to know
They told us that our are hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good ole days are gone
The army and the empire may be falling apart
The money had gotten scarce
One mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe and I've got a right to know
Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
They keep on telling us lies Joe please tell us it ain't so
Say
Say it ain't so
Say it ain't so
Cause I've got a right to know
Thanks
In memory of JOE BIDEN…. Rest in pieces , MFKR. Thank you, Roger. I’ve always loved this song❤️
Wishing Roger a very happy birthday today. Wow, the big 8-0!!!
As the owner of all The Who's music, this is the version of this song I have. Most of their music in my collection is on reel to reel tape.
Great song from a truly great singer!!! Dare I say, the best in rock 'n roll.
Rogers Vocals impeccable Say it ain't so Joe crescendo unbelievable dead on Song!!!
12/28/22 - Very telling for today is it not? This may give you goose bumps.
Heck yeah! These lyrics are forever. Every line is truth!
Wow. What music. Great Daltrey.
One of the best and hopefully we did it justice and got some people exposed to this wonderful song for the first time..
That song has a message we need to hear concerning todays situation in Europe.
My thoughts exactly 👍🏻 God bless and save Europe. WAKE UP PEOPLE BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE .
No se que poner de los nervios yo la cantaba cuando tenia 25 años todos los roquedos de buenos aires me aplaudían me gustaba tanto que la sentía x dentro
Cel,mai,bun,solist,vocal,rock,actual.❤
Greatest
Say it aint´t so, joe, magnifica canción me encanta, un placer escucharla una y otra vez ¡¡
Song Transcends
Roger. More than You will Ever Know
At Adam po so true
Not sure what I prefer more: the vocal delivery or that sick baseline!
Keith Moon perfect !!!
Thanks to Murray Head .... the original version!! ❤
It's kind of weird, too, since Daltrey almost exclusively did cover versions of every song on his solo albums.
Gran cantante ..tremenda canción ...☮️desde Argentina 🇦🇷👏
He said 'Great singer! Tremendous song!' Gracias, Alberto! Daltrey is my favorite lead singer of all time.
Cette version est magnifique 🎱
EXCELLENT sound quality. Love this version & thx for posting lyrics!
Super, on entend bien la basse de the ox.
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤

Where can I get it?
Is this the single version? The slide guitar sounds more prominent here. Great upload, btw!
This is the album version. The freq range in hz for the slide guitar was under-boosted in the original, so yeah good catch, we boosted that range and the guitar popped out more.
@@macafeez Nice! LOVE what you done with the song - great job!!
Great song for Joe Biden

"He played his Trump card. He doesn't know how to go on."
Sorry disagree,this IS AN AMAZING version,but i think murray heads original version beats it in my opinion,and he wrote it!
this is the best Daltrey version. That's what i wanted to get across. The MCA recordings really s**cked.
im sorry but the who did it a little better ,buti like murray heads version all so
not bad , but its not Murray
i should really do Murray's version and put it up, too.
Que temazo, la voz de Daltrey tal vez la más potente del rock
