Ringo Starr - Live in Michigan - 16. No No Song

Pine Knob Theatre, May 30th 1997.
Ringo Starr's cover of Hoyt Axton and David Jackson's "No No Song" was included on his 1974 album Goodnight Vienna. It was a number-three hit in the US. The song describes progressive attempts to sell Colombian marijuana, Spanish cocaine and Tennessean moonshine to a recovered addict who refuses it all.
Brazilian rock musician Raul Seixas recorded a portuguese Brazilian version called Não Quero Mais Andar na Contra-mão ("Don't Want to Ride on the Wrong Way Anymore") adapting the drugs mentioned in the lyrics to the Brazilian culture (respectively, Colombian marijuana, Bolivian cocaine and Argentinian ether spray). Seixas also released an album (and hit single) called O Dia em que a Terra Parou ("The Day the Earth Stood Still") The song itself was not related to the movie of the same name; rather, it is likely a reference to the album Goodnight Vienna, the cover of which reproduces an iconic scene from the film, with Ringo Starr replacing Michael Rennie as the alien Klaatu standing alongside the robot Gort.

Ringo is such a underrated artist.

[@markthomaschristopher3648]

What’s amazing is he had about 8 top twenty songs as a solo artist. Any aspiring artist would have loved to have that kind of success.

He already had the fame to begin with

Happy for you

[@bmaragno]

Que maravilha, um roqueiro, aqui no Brasil, gravou uma versão e ficou muito bom. Ele é o Raul Seixas, se puderes pesquisar sobre ele fique a vontade. Aqui o nome desta obra prima ficou " não quero mais andar na contra mão".
