Roy Wood - Oh What A Shame (Jim’ll Fix It 1975) HD
Roy Wood played all of the musical instruments on the recording of “Oh What a Shame” including lead and multi-tracked backing vocals.
Roy Wood is a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who rose to fame as a member of The Move and Electric Light Orchestra in the 1960s and 1970s. He also had a successful solo career, with hits such as “Forever“. One of his solo singles was “Oh What A Shame“, a catchy pop song with a Beach Boys influence, released in 1975. The song reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.
I’ve posted this clip again due to the much improved picture quality. You can compare it to the previous clip posted by clicking here...
Well, I’ve been hangin’ around
I’m just one of a crowd
And there ain’t much goin’ on
Till I was cruising along with the radio on
Playin’ one of my favourite songs
Now they are checking my tyres
I’ll get my girl on the wire
Supposin’ I ever find a phone
But to my utter dismay I got the answer okay
The other voice was a baritone
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Gotta get back on the road again
Feelin’ less than inspired I chased a girl I admired
Her fancy coat was a real racoon
She could begin the beguine
While reading Life magazine
And feed her face with a silver spoon
I must be so debonair
I threw my glass in the air
And said, “Do you wanna take me home?“
For making such a display
She drove me down to the bay
And threw me out in the danger zone
Oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
Oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
Oh, what a shame (oh, what a shame)
Got to get back on the road again
Well, I’ve been gettin’ up early with some beautiful girls
And I’ll admit I’ve enjoyed a few
I’m tired of tracking around
I end up being the hound
I know this is what I’m gonna do
I gotta get some honey
With a big white sunny top
Road rocket Chevrolet
So with her seat belt tied
I’ll pull into the side
To see the cops tow the car away
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Got to get back on the road again
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Oh, oh what a shame
Got to get back on the road again
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
Got to get back on the road again, woo!
