Some suggestions for you, older rock try Boston, Journey, Foreigner.. for heavy metal try Ozzy with Randy Rhoads, Metallica anything from the first four albums, and if you want really heavy try Slayer. The grunge ear stuff, try Pearl Jam, anything with Chris Cornell or Sound Garden, Smashing Pumpkins. Other's to look into Nine Inch Nails, Alanis Morrissette, Evanescence. There are tons more but these seem to be popular choices. Oh and.. Elvis - Unchained Melody.. you must do that one.
Thank you, but It's OK! Anyone that clicks on it already knows Black Betty & the important thing is YOU got to see it. All it took was 2.5 min for you to now know for the rest of your life what ppl mean when they say "Bam-a-lam" 😂 You just can't beat the South 😉
When the band was asked about doing a music video they asked for $400 and the band bought beer and weed with the $400 and shot the video in the back of one of the band members parents back yard. How great was the 70's!!! To be shoot a video now it would take thousands of dollars!!
"Black Betty" was Ram Jam's only big hit in 1977. But it is one of the most fun & energetic songs. Just some dudes hanging out in someone's back yard & jamming out. Love it! "Black Betty" is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. While some may think “Black Betty” refers to a woman, others claim it’s a nickname for any number of objects, including a bottle of whiskey, a whip, an 18th century musket or even a penitentiary transfer wagon.
The 3 phases if Bkack Betty are, in verse one, a black powder musket, which at time blinded shoiters from the black powder firing. The second verse refers to black hash, quite a popular smoke in the 70s and quite potent. The 3rd verse is a black prostitute in Alabama one if the bands friends frequented.
@@kenkonwick6660 the wild child is the musket ball that was far from accurate,bam a lam is the report from firing the gun the smoke from the musket blinded your view the black Betty musket was a sturdy gun that could take abuse so it was always ready and rock steady
Another interesting fact. Bill Bartlett, the guitar player/singer had another one hit wonder when he played with a band called The Lemon Pipers who released a song called "Green Tambourine" in the late "60s
This is EXACTLY how I grew up in the 70’s with my oldest sibling’s friends in bands jamming in the front yard & my father was a Big Band Leader for over 50 years before he passed. SO MUCH FUN!!
I saw an interview with the lead singer, and the first part is an old blues song. The second and third verses were written by him, and it was about Betty Page, his favorite pin-up model. So it's actually two songs in one.
I've got a friend who's Black and I remember being invited to a cookout at his uncle's house in Columbus GA. years ago. Someone put this song on and they must have played it 15 or 20 times. Everyone was dancing and singing along. It was cool.
I miss the 70's. So many parties at someone's house or backyard as kids/teens. Music you could understand and dance to (we still occasionally looked like we were having a spastic fit but not like today)😂 Now you're learning what older people are banging their heads and drumming our steering wheels to in the car next to you. 😂🤣😂🤣🎶
i am telling you as a black guy i loved this song! and that was all i took from it is as they ampied a song that been made years before and it is a very old song! and made it a groove!
Yes REACTORS 👍🏼 love to see 👁️ your react on Ram Jam "Black Betty" And its like you say its a cover from way way back its a old song as prisoners sang when they work as RAILROADS in the states.1930 ..But the cover by Ram Jam is blending cool and has to bee a lucky day when the Gibsons guitar get exatly the right temperature in the air..same as the drums..And a just lucky day for the RAM JAM band because the rest they made was not near this performance... VERY strange but true. 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇲❤️🇸🇪
Just so you know, this was a short version of the song. The longer version has an extended musical break. Can't think of any other Ram Jam songs to check out, they were a one hit wonder.
I was surprised to find that this song was constructed from an earlier recording made prior to Ram Jam. If you search Black Betty by Starstruck you’ll find it. I’ll post the link if it is allowed.
Black Betty is a flintlock musket, Bam -ba lam is the intial igniting of the shot (bam) before the shot itself (balam). Black Betty had a child (bullet), the damn things gone wild (flintlocks weren't rifled so the shot had no real direction unlike a rifled bullet that flies straight because its spinning), She said I'm worrying outta mind (refers to the shot going everywhere except where its supposed to go), damn things gone blind (Misses the target). Verse 2 is about a girl. Great song and video at the back of someones house. One hit wonder!
When Bill Bartlett was interviewed, he said that when he wrote the last two verses, adding to Leadbelly’s original, that his version of the song was about Betty Page, who was a white 1950s pinup girl. He said he’s not sure who or what Leadbelly was writing about, that was anybody’s guess but his was about Betty Page.
Black betty was reference to the old balance and powder muskets that were used hundred of years ago during the time of pirates and war ships that were popular during that time. I don't know if Ram Jam's song was really about the musket pistol but it is a great song and people have been curious about it's meaning ever since it was made.
A lot of old blues and that sort of music had double meanings, and, fairly often, one of those meanings was suggestive. I'm sure there are many reasons for this, not the least of which being that, for the most part, you couldn't just come out and sing a song like, say, "WAP" back in the day, so it had to be cloaked in language that could give the artist "plausible deniability." And I think, back in those days, "artists of color" had to be extra careful since they were already being scrutinized and judged harder than their white bretheren. This is part of the reason parents in the '50s, for instance, thought their children were being ruined by rock 'n' roll, which was seen as "black music," "jungle music," and music promoting amorality (heck, even the term "rock 'n' roll" had a double meaning that was referencing sex). I'm not saying "Black Betty" is particularly "suggestive" in that way (thought it does seem to be talking about a woman with looser morals than the time from which the song originated might've approved of) but more that all the discussions and debates people have about the "correct" meaning of the song might be missing the point that there isn't one "correct" interpretation. Also, a lot of old blues songs, rock songs, folk songs, country songs, etc. borrowed pretty liberally from older sources and one another so, rather than there being a single origin for "Black Betty," it's way more likely that it's a pastiche of bits and pieces from multiple sources, including that old prison work song/cadence, old war songs, some folk stuff passed down, etc. all reworked into a song that, on the surface, is about a black woman from "Alabam" who shakes, her thing, gets the singer high, is always ready, and had a child that "weren't none of" his.
"Black betty was reference to the old balance and powder muskets that were used hundred of years" Nah, you're thinking of the British "Brown Bess" musket. This is just a chain gang cadence song, Go listen to the UA-cam video "Lead Belly - "Black Betty"
By the way, besides being a rockin tune, Black Betty is the name of what is reputed to be the best cheese in the world, an aged gouda sometimes also called Brabander (since it's from the Dutch region Brabant). Betty is the name of the cheeses 'ager,' and it's wrapped in black wax. Only available seasonally, and few stores carry it in the US
Ram Jam actually put out some good music! 🤣 Funky southern rock sound but hailed from NY! Too good to be true. "Too bad on your birthday" If Rolling Stones and INXS had a baby, this is how it would sound! ;)
Black Betty originally referred to a British Army musket in the early 18th century. When a soldier enlisted in a regiment, he was said to be married to Black Betty. (Black Betty later became Brown Bess.) At any rate you can guess the significance of bam-ba-lam (or however you care to write it.). Black Betty's child is a musket ball which didn't fly straight - this can be caused by fouling in the barrel, irregular shape etc. The damn thing gone blind also refers to the fact that the bullet can't find its target.
If you ever watch the movie Blow, there is a great scene of Johnny Depp walking through the airport w shades on and a metal suitcase full of cash and this song is going. It's perfection imo.
The first verse is about the rifle that could not be trusted. The second verse is about a bottle of whiskey. The lead singer wrote the third verse about Bette Paige, a very famous pinup girl of the 50's and 60's that he fell in love with.
Another one from about the same time is Carley Simon singing "That's the way I've always heard it should be" or Phoebe Snow, "Poetry Man". Both are pretty good.
Good morning Phil good morning Sam🤜🤛. Great song so many movies it's been in. The wrestler is my favorite movie this song was on the soundtrack of. It's worth a look see if you haven't seen it Mickey Rourke had me all up in my feelings
I read it's about a well loved musket, but the "child" was a smaller gun that had a sight that was inaccurate, so not a straight shooter, (damn thing gone blind"). "bam-a-lam".
The song is an old marching cadence it's about a musket rifle black Betty she had a child means the musket ball and they always went wild because muskets didn't have rifling in the barrel and the muskets were made in Alabama
Before the "reaction video" craze, this song was popular in the movie the "Dukes of Hazzard" around 15-20 years ago. Ram Jam took this old field revival song from the turn of the 20th century (I believe it was Lead Belly who made this popular a hundred years ago).
Welcome to the South….Music in the yard. Good times. Y’all are discovering true musicianship. No electronics, no autotune. A time where, if you didn’t have the talent, you were rejected. Unfortunately, Country is the only genre that remains pure in musicianship. Being a child of the 70’s were glorious times. There were only 3 tv stations so, music dominated households and bedrooms. We were exposed to our parents music..the 40’s, the 50’s. We were exposed to the 60’s and so on. Most of us struggled when Techno, Hip Hop and Rap hit the music scene…it lacked true musicians, vocalist and songwriters.
These guys were known only for this song. Saw them in a bar in CT late 70s. People there only wanted to hear this song. They were visibly upset as they were basically background for bodily functions. Also this is a short version.
I would so love to see your reaction to - "Take Me To Church - Hozier (Cover by Jasmine Thompson)" That lady has the voice of an angel, smooth as silk.
If you have time please have a look at Eivør - Falling Free (Live at the Old Theater in Torshavn)This one you can put your feet up and drift off.This lady is full of talent.Eivør Pálsdóttir, known mononymously as Eivør, is a Faroese singer-songwriter and actress. Born and raised in Syðrugøta, she had her first televised performance at the age of 13.Thank you and stay safe all the best from England.
The album version is great because that whole guitar drum solo part towards the end is way longer on the album particularly the guitar solo it’s so good but to do the video they had to cut the song down but I love the video as well!!
the original song is actually a song that convicts in the 1920s/30s sang while working at the prison farm.. it was a very different song then. Here's a link to the original (1933) - ua-cam.com/video/tiCEVl_9-MM/v-deo.html
This song is actually longer, I highly recommend the longer album version, although there is no video, hard to believe the edited version cuts out the best part pf the song..
Surprise...it's not about a woman!! It's about a civil war musket rifle and they made a replica that didn't shoot straight, hence the "child was blind". 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎙🥁🎹🎸🔥🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
This a very old song. Muddy Waters has a version of this. There is a video of chaingang prisoners singing it as a work song in the 30’s. A lot of argument over the meaning.
Ram Jam was pretty much a one-hit-wonder, but boy what a one hit it was. FM radio wore it out and no one could resist tapping a foot, shaking an ass, or singing along if they were within earshot when the song came on the radio!
*Apologies for the Audio/Video sync issue on this one! This was one we couldn't get fixed*
Some suggestions for you, older rock try Boston, Journey, Foreigner.. for heavy metal try Ozzy with Randy Rhoads, Metallica anything from the first four albums, and if you want really heavy try Slayer.

The English settlers to the Appalachians called their stills and sometimes whiskey 'Black Betty'.

This was an old work song that was updated by Ram Jam.
It was used in Maverick with Tom Cruise
Oh I'm sure you've heard it before at some sporting event as it's still played to pump up the crowd.
The first verse is about the rifle that could not be trusted. The second verse is about a bottle of whiskey. The lead singer wrote the third verse about Bette Paige, a very famous pinup girl of the 50's and 60's that he fell in love with.
It was a rifle that was used during the American Civil War by the Southern Army.
An earlier commentator observed that the lead singer is what Mountain Dew would look like if it was a person.
I know you can't help get into it. Awesome Jam
I think that the black Betty they sing about is Opimium. I was a teen when this came out and at that time that and powder Coke was big.
They laid it all out in yard and had fun when they did this. Spouses & friends hanging out
