Spinning Wheel Gotta Go Round

Posted by Maximum Fun on 17th July 2007

For those who remember my recent interview with Dr. Oliver Wang, we had a discussion of “Spinning Wheel,” an example of a song O-Dub is so intruiged by that he’ll buy records blind just to hear a cover of it.

Today over on Soul-Sides, Oliver posted a set from his old KALX show The Ozone featuring a mini-set of Spinning Wheel covers.

Above you can watch my favorite Spinning Wheel cover, by Mr. Hank Kingsley on the Larry Sanders show. It starts a minute and a half into the clip.

“What can I say, Hank? You’re a quadruple threat. You’re a singer, a dancer, a raconteur… … … and a singer again because you’re just that good.” – Bob Odenkirk as super-agent Stevie Grant
