- This Full Band Friday, The CME House Band takes it back to June of 1990 with "Kool Thing," the first single from Sonic Youth's 6th album, Goo.
SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE FULL BAND FRIDAYS!!
"Kool Thing" is a song by American rock band Sonic Youth, released in June 1990 in the United States (as a promotional single) and September 1990 in Europe, as the first single from their sixth studio album Goo. The song was inspired by an interview bassist/singer Kim Gordon conducted with LL Cool J for Spin. Although he is never mentioned by name, the song's lyrics contain several references to LL Cool J. Gordon's lyrics make reference to several of the rapper's works, including the single "I Can't Live Without My Radio" and the album Walking With a Panther. She also repeats the line "I don't think so", which appears in LL Cool J's "Going Back to Cali". Chuck D also contributed spoken vocals to the song.
The music video for "Kool Thing", released on June 4, 1990, was the band's first for a major label. The video was directed by Tamra Davis. The video focused on Gordon's fascination with 1960s radicalism (particularly Patty Hearst and the Black Panthers), and featured the band wearing glam style clothing. The video was stylized after LL Cool J's "Going Back to Cali" video, down to the black-and-white camera and go-go dancers. Gordon initially wanted to wear a beret and carry an Uzi, as a self-described "poseur-leftist girl lusting after Black Panthers concept". However, Geffen vetoed the plan. Chuck D appeared in the video.

Lyrics:
Kool Thing sittin' with a kitty
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a little chance here
I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so
Kool Thing let me play it with your radio
Move me, turn me on, baby-o
I'll be your slave
Give you a shave
I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so
Yeah, tell'em about it
Hit'em where it hurts
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down beside me
There's something I go to ask you
I just want to know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?
Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don't be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want you to know that we can still be friends
Let everybody know
Kool Kool Thing, Kool Kool Thing
When you're a star, I know that you'll fix everything
Kool Thing sittin' with a kitty
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Rock the beat just a little faster
Now I know you are the master
I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so
Kool Thing walkin' like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool Thing walkin' like a panther
What'd he say?
I don't want to, I don't think so
I don't want to, I don't think so

It's really difficult to cover Sonic Youth
True. Kinda ironic considering how influential they are.
Great cover, both on the chaotic feeling of Sonic Youth guitar sounds and also on the vocals.
This is effing awesome! good job on the vocals great mix. I imagine it was pretty loud in that room to get that style of vocal over so well! Great job
Thank you very much!
Yes!!!! I love this so much made my morning!
Thank you!!
Ultimate wedding band!
Really great
Thank You!!
Excellent job on a rad song!! Would love to hear a full band cover of some Jesus Lizard.. perhaps a nice showcase of Travis bean/electrical guitar company guitars?

@@danielbrown8556 that is a killer cover, but the madame singing on their recent videos would do an excellent job with some Jesus lizard vocals!! That being said, I won’t complain with this cover :D
Look forward to FBF! That was a cool thing!
Thank you!! Don't you mean a "Kool Thing" lol
That was very nice!
Thank you very much!
Great cover. It's not easy to cover Sonic Youth and you did a great job at it.
I’m late to the party but this is amazing. Came here from your massive reverb page. So glad I found you guys. Much love from NYC. Stay cool 🌬
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!!
That was so good!
Thanks you!
Well, that was pretty cool.
Thanks!! Full Band Friday's every week!
Turn her up! Great cover guys
it's noise rock, the vocals are supposed to be buried with the guitars!
@@nolanski7170 The mix on the original song has the vocals way louder
WOW!!!
Can we have Diamond Sea next!
Awesome
Thanks!
Excellent as always. Nice raw sound. Any chance of some Dinosaur Jr? Would love to hear Freak Scene.
Thank you! I think next time we do a Jazzmaster full band we have to!
Y E S
More like "School Thing" than "Kool Thing" ;) but very solid cover/tribute by the way
Cool thing indeed!
Cool 😎
You guys are fucking awesome
como diría Don Ramón en el capítulo donde se van a la playa "Kool Thing"
hell yeh!
cool singer!!!!!!!!!!
This is the "crazy little thing called love cover" dude?
Lol Yup that's Nathaniel Murphy!
Is this a reupload? Great nonetheless
We pull the Full Band Friday videos from our full demos. This one is from the demo on our new exclusive color Player Series Jazzmasters.
Thanks!
G-R-E-A-T!
Thank you!!
@@chicagomusicexchange 😇❤️❤️👍
Oh.
Fantastic! Did you play this in standard?
I'd say they played it in F#F#F#F#EB
its on a F#
I'm guessing it's not Nathaniels favorite band? ;-)
Not sure if it’s in the correct tuning but it sounds fantastic
Thanks!!
It is
Killer
le falta energía
Hum please
Break everything next time
Not even close,,,
the drums not good
you can teach people how to play instruments, but you can't teach having soul and swagger. buncha gormless dorks.
Yeah I hate to be the Negative Nelly type, but this cover what the heck, so anemic and dry and everyone playing it is acting like they are so bored. Lame city. Original SY song is like purple lightning in a bottle, this is like a dying dollarstore flashlight sinking into a murky pond and flickering out. Makes me so sad what this world is coming to. Still props that they even did the cover at all, but people GO GET YR JUICE, find your MOJO, jeez.
Good some maybe it’s my phone the mix is a little wonky
What kind of effects you guys used for this cover ?
The Kitchen Sink 😂
How about some queens of the stone age
Voilà comment on enlève l'âme d'une chanson.
