“Bedroom Eyes” and a Couple of “Catches”:Dum Dum Girls, Sally Seltmann, and The Dave Clark Five!!!

When I saw The Dum Dum Girls this past Sunday, I didn’t expect to hear “Bedroom Eyes” until it was time for an encore. I was ecstatically surprised to find them opening the show with it. I’m going to throw this song into the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded [GSER] category. The twangy guitar, the classic girl group harmonies, the throwback rock beat, and the total wall of sound. It doesn’t get much better than that!:

I cant’s seem to get Sally Seltmann’s “catchy” melody out of my head! Little did I know that the pretty Australian singer put out an animated video for it!:

It’s usually not too embarassing to copy someone if you do it well. The Dave Clark Five had plenty of original ideas of their own and were one of the best British Invasion bands. But here they gleefully “borrow” from The Beatles “A Hard Days Night” movie!:
