I didn't know until recently that the 1966 album by The WHO titled "Happy Jack," was originally named "A Quick One." Apparently the title was changed for the American version after the song "Happy Jack" started getting some airplay, and also because they thought the title was a double entendre, that might be perceived as something dirty or nasty by the general public.
This is one of my favorite WHO albums, and also one of my favorite 'spider' songs all in one neat package!
This is the back of Link Wray's 1969 album titled "Yesterday And Today," that included his song "The Black Widow." "The Black Widow" was originally on Link's earlier album in 1962 when he was performing as Link Wray And His Ray Men.
It doesn't get much more classic than this!
Even though there are hundreds of spider songs out there, I'd be doing a great disservice if I didn't mention the 1967 film "Spider Baby Or, The Maddest Story Ever Told" that had music written by the incredible Ronald Stein. If you're not familiar with him, Ron Stein was the mastermind behind the music in films like "Invasion of The Saucer Men," "Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman," "Ghost Of Dragstrip Hollow," "Dementia 13," "Journey To The 7th Planet," etc, etc!!
The cherry on top is who performs this song!
