In my teens, I heard this version first, not knowing at the time it was a cover version. When I heard the sabbath version later, I wondered why it was so slow.....
The Dickies need to be in the hall of fame as thier music was so amazing - thier covers and thier original material ... I'm starting a campaign to get them in the Hall of fame
Nights In White Satin is just superb. It retains all the felling of the original tearjerker even with Graves singing in his typical mocking spirit. Loved their 45s!! So much fun and colorful. I miss my vinyl but it took up an entire room. I mean literally. I had EVERYTHING from 1970 to 1984. Obscure ‘70’s hard rock bands, Hard Rock, Glam, metal and Punk. At least I replaced some on disc and all those great comps with the rarities. I now own 2300 CDs, They only take up a quarter of my room now.😊
Their first two albums were absolute classics Incredible Shrinking Dickies & Dawn of The Dickies....John Peel in the UK loved them & even played the B sides like Got it at the Store & Give it Back etc looking forward to seeing them locally next month proper fun band ...
I just heard them do a set at Warped Tour 2009 in Ventura. They started with an audience of about 100 and finished with an audience of 1,000+ They still got it!
they didn't dress that punk (more New Wave), but they sure as hell had the fired up thunder and lightning it took to be punk. To me, one of the most recognizable voices in punk rock history. Kick ass cover, kick ass band. Thanks be to isac1977 for putting this on the 'tube. Rock on, bro...
Dickies - Paranoid 26-7-1979 2322pm 11.12.22 works far better for this band than it did for the guys who originally wrote this track. aye; these lags look like they would be down the prom on a californian beach bumming around looking at the gurls and drinking beer as they posed and paraded about in joggers or sweat pants catching some rays eating some chilli dogs drinking more beers belching and being real and down with it. ahahahahah.. or not. anyhow; fine songs and happier moments listening to these guys who were far far far away from another planet and mysterious...
Just saw these guys on Saturday 7/16/16 and they kicked sooo much ass!!! Seriously! I'd heard of 'em but never'd listened to them, I was at the show to see the headliner but felt like I could have left before they went on cuz' the Dickies were that entertaining that I felt satisfied enough to not stick around for the rest of the show. I did end up sticking around for the rest of the show, but I became a fan that night. A FAN OF THE DICKIES!!!!!
Cheetah Thunders. I saw them with the Queers and Screeching Weasel last year. I had originally gone to go see Screeching Weasel but I was so BLOWN AWAY by the Dickies that I became an instant fan that night. When the Dickies stepped onto the stage, I didn't know what to make of them, everyone in the band and I mean EVERYONE, looked like they were from a different band! I thought the bass player and one of the guitarists were roadies or something. The singer is phenomenal. I'd go see them again in a heartbeat.
Wow. You would have loved seeing The Rolling Stones at the Fillmore in 73. Charlie Watts came out from behind his kit and vacuumed the entire stage during "Ruby Tuesday".
LOVE, love, LOVE the Dickies--saw them many times, best one was at the Whiskey where The Misfits opened for them as a surprise act. They need to be in a hall of fame somewhere getting their due.
Classic!!!! I had the 45 RPM (maybe it was the EP 33 1/3?) record back then in my early 20's. I can't even remember when the last time I heard this song. Now at 65 I still enjoy this song just as much as I did during my Punk Rock/New Wave days when I was in my early 20's. Now days it is considered "Old Fogey Music" to today's younger kids. "Hey you dirty little punks!! Get off my lawn!!"
not always. I'm 21, going on 22 actually and I own this album on yellow vinyl and Dawn of the Dickies as a cassette. also have a live tape somewhere. I feel like I'm the only Dickies fan that's my age
I didn’t see that at first (got distracted) so I watched it again. I first heard this in 1985 on a college punk radio show. It was the closest to heavy metal that anything on the show got. I’ve always liked this.
They recorded a few originals on their two albums Dawn of The Dickies and The Incredible Shrinking Dickies but their biggest hits (UK charts) were covers,even their record sleeves were covers.Also,their records hardly were on black vinyl.Their biggest hit was Tra La La The Banana splits song which naturally was on yellow vinyl.Peaked at number 7.
fan club, give it back are the originals that are killer...only Paranoid truly slays the original. and most know Pat Smears Golden Boys as a Dickies song, because few know it as the last lyrics Darby Crash wrote. Smear wrote music for it and ended up on an ignored solo album. technically the last Germs song, most Dickies covers are jokes, except Paranoid which makes the original sound slow and lazy. Nothing tops You Drive Me Ape and the frst two albums originals--and they sounded great live up until the last time they passed thru. Getting the kids to protest their Warped Tour shows was fun, especially the bands reaction...
@@TheLarryburns84 its fan mail not club and owned every fkn cover they did. Listen to dog of the hare that bit us. All killer covers Idjit savant had great covers golden boy. Pretty ballerina. Fuk that protest shyt its all good fun im 55 when i was 17 in 84 i saw them 1st time in my denim jacket with manowar and raven gbh and big black patches. They berated me all night. About my long hair my metal style and kept requesting me to come on stage and offer favors for the band 😂 they jammed so hard they were funny and very uplifting frequency from the metal shows i was accustomed to They are an absolute positive high energy band that can only bring joy to ones life And those miserable d)k€$ who splashed pool water on them got chlorine in their eyes
You had to be there...they got signed! Of all of the LA punk bands they were the most commercially viable....RIP Chuck Wagon (Bob Davis...) I knew you and loved you well!
Man! This is the first band I ever saw live. Would have ben bout 78/79. They were supporting The Boomtown Rats. What a night! My ears were ringing for days...
Also when they form the guitar line I love how the singer has to look back as if to say "hey man, did you forget we were gonna form a GUITAR LINE" come on man!!!
This deserved to be a bigger hit in GB where they had a stronger appreciation than their homeland. Definitely one of my favorite punk bands
Mine too. Since I was 12.
In my teens, I heard this version first, not knowing at the time it was a cover version. When I heard the sabbath version later, I wondered why it was so slow.....
same happend to me 😂😂 have fun mate
☠️💣☠️
I had heard the Sabbath version first and this was the first or second Dickies song I heard. An amazing cover that makes the original sound lazy.
Try. Comparing their version of the monkees she or nights in white satin
Same here!
Saaaaaaaaaaame

One of the greatest live bands!
One of the tightest punk bands I've ever seen. Superb.
They were extremely good at what they did. They had the perfect mix of energy and weirdness.
…and melody.
I reckon this band changed my life 79 isolated till I heard this x
Fantastic punk band
It gets better!
Geat track , remember me and my mate jumping around the frontroom with this playing full blast on the old stereo.Punk!
Yep.
he can really pull off that mullet..amazing!!!
toured with these cats best version of town without pity ever
I just heard them do a set at Warped Tour 2009 in Ventura. They started with an audience of about 100 and finished with an audience of 1,000+ They still got it!
How is it possible to be so cool in 1979? Dickies Worldwide. Ya'll recognize!

A bowl cut AND a mullet? AND SUNGLASSSES?!
This. . . this is awesome!
Reminds me of the Die Antwoord chick's hair
fuk u utube I hate you for forcing me to do a Google image search of that.
AtariMaxiToriyama lololololol you have a good sense of humour. props to you
@ AtariMaxiToryama dude thats what I'm rockin! makes the ladies weaaaaak

same thing happened to me (in 1990)
Cheetah Thunders. I saw them with the Queers and Screeching Weasel last year.

I thought the bass player and one of the guitarists were roadies or something. The singer is phenomenal. I'd go see them again in a heartbeat.
Hell yes! Saw them at a scuzzy club in like 93 or 94 just outside LA. It was such a fun show.
I saw them in 1981 and they kicked ass then too. The show was at a small punk club (Cuckoo's Nest) and they blew away the other bands.
They were treated as a bit of a joke back in the day, but always most amusing.
The first time that I ever saw a rock band clean up after themselves.
Lol
Wow. You would have loved seeing The Rolling Stones at the Fillmore in 73. Charlie Watts came out from behind his kit and vacuumed the entire stage during "Ruby Tuesday".
@@asusmctablet9180 Well, I was wrong then. I didn't know about Charlie Watts doing that.
That sounds amazing !
A thing of beauty -- this is insanely awesome
Seen then in Newcastle about 38 years ago Brilliant ; )))))
The incredible shrinking Dickies! One of my favourite bands, great energy and humour.
It's just cold here.
Guaranteed to make me smile, The Dickies are one of the best.
LOVE, love, LOVE the Dickies--saw them many times, best one was at the Whiskey where The Misfits opened for them as a surprise act. They need to be in a hall of fame somewhere getting their due.
What year was that?
Wow! A phenomenal version, what a sensational singer..
@davidbletch One of the many contributions made by The Dickies to music was demonstrating that classic rock songs were far longer than necessary.
PORT TALBOT troubador, 1978. awesome savage my first punk gig changed my life, PORTHCAWL PUNKS all nite
Love the dustpan action!
What a band
Why is CZcams great? Because it lets new people see old great groups .
And old people hear the music in a quality unavailable to most in the 70's.
HEAR HERE!!!
brilliant ,dickies best song thanks fr posting.
they had so much fun
I heard this version in the late 70s, before I heard the original. I then wondered why the black sabbath version was so slow lol
Thats cool
This version is the basis for the faster speed basically every other cover I've heard of the song.
Awesome...me and my mates bouncing around to the dickies , brilliant times.
First show I ever went to. 1982 Concert Factory ( before 92 Cuckoo's Nest, CM CA) Great live band, better venue
My first punk show too! 82? Somewhere in Fullerton. I was kinda f'd up😆
Just saw them Friday night and they played this. Sounded GREAT, as did everything else they played.
I'm jealous :(
leonard graves is such a legend, an icon, an wtf? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i love the dickies
awesome had this on white vinyl
These guys are made of the RIGHT STUFF. Love it!

The Wierdos & The Dickies best post punk perma wave bands outta of the 70s!!
Im here cuz of Fat Mike!!!! :D
i love Leonard tidying up with the dust pan during the guitar solo!!
He's adorable.
I didn’t see that at first (got distracted) so I watched it again. I first heard this in 1985 on a college punk radio show. It was the closest to heavy metal that anything on the show got. I’ve always liked this.
I dance like this. Always have. No matter what the sound. Nevr got a ride.
Seen these Leeds uni great night
This is really one of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen. Pure fun.
Off to see the Dickies on Monday in the UK cant wait followed them from the start since hearing them on the John Peel show ....
Großartig

you drive me ape was the song that ended up on punk comps, and what i perceived as this albums "hit". and Paranoid. which they own.
I own The Incredible Shrinking Dickies on yellow vinyl ! still plays like a dream all this time later. Walk Like an Egg and Curb Job are stellar
fan club, give it back are the originals that are killer...only Paranoid truly slays the original. and most know Pat Smears Golden Boys as a Dickies song, because few know it as the last lyrics Darby Crash wrote.

High energy!

Makes more sense
Sounds right

Great song. And done at 150mph makes it even greater. Brilliant. Well done Dickies.
Clear disc, still got it.Blinding version. Cheers.
I was there too! Insane! the best band I saw all day
one of the best covers of all times
Still have this on clear vinyl
You had to be there...they got signed! Of all of the LA punk bands they were the most commercially viable....RIP Chuck Wagon (Bob Davis...) I knew you and loved you well!
My school days original punk in the late 70s before the revival in 82 awesome time
Dickies FTW!!!!
Saw them at Erics (Liverpool) Very tight music and fun to watch. Like a dose of high grade amphet.
great stuff, can't wait to see them in Milan in a couple of weeks ... hope they'll play this one
Lucky youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu :(
Man! This is the first band I ever saw live. Would have ben bout 78/79. They were supporting The Boomtown Rats. What a night! My ears were ringing for days...
SHEEEZ....I NEED A CUP OF THIS IN MORNING...!!
These guys are great.
Love it!!!
paranoid was the song that gave birth to punk and metal too
Punk FUCKIN ROCK...
Birmingham UK
5 million stars!
Dawn of the Dickies ftw!!
Also when they form the guitar line I love how the singer has to look back as if to say "hey man, did you forget we were gonna form a GUITAR LINE" come on man!!!
Greatest cover band ever
Dan S. Not just a cover band mate
I doubt anyone else made Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
Got this on a 7" clear single - gonna have to dig it out & dust it off now.
Saw them in concert two days ago! Great introduction to punk rock for me haha. One of the greatest shows I ever seen
This reminds me of high school, when I had to use Napster to download videos of punk bands & full episodes of Jackass cause I didn't have MTV
Here after reading Geezer mention it in his book !
so full of energy!
I bet OZZY loved it!
So cool they named pants after them
The whole album is super tight, high energy skate punk, xcept for the "Midget's Revenge"...on yellow vinyl, even..
Amazing Memories flooding back... It reminds me of Johnny from X factor lol.
The Dickies Rule!!!
still got the 7" clear vinyl
ROCK EN!!!! ROLL!!
)))),super cover a la Dickies.
Tony iommi of sabbath loved this version.the band gave him a copy!
I would love to hear the Dickies with Ozzy on the mic
GOOD!
Fantastic memories 5*s my friend ;-)
Mark....
Nice Ian Curtis moves @ 1:01 :D
He must have been a fan!
AWESOME :)
OMG - Have not seen such a tri-level haircut in decades!
