Just imagine the poor fella standing on the porch, minding his business when some lunatic comes flying by on a drum kit with a jet black hot rod on his trail.
I have such fond memories of my drunk dad being forcibly removed from our house by law enforcement while this song was playing on the stereo at full volume. God I miss the good old days.
Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy! Only been waiting since this was on RAGE for the original video to be posted back to its rightful place on UA-cam! I want to see some arse kicking burnouts in a killer hot rod, not some bullshit American cut scenes from a pussy movie no one gives two shits about!
Have to agree. This is a good and powerful cover, better than the Ram Jam version (although that's good too), and that wicked black beautiful car (I WANT ONE! But with the engine covers in place) just makes it so much fun to watch.
Who would of thought this is what we would get from the original 1933 recording of James" Iron Head" Baker. This is the best version in my opinion but Ram jams still holds up well. Whoever produced this video is a genius. The concepts are great! But the filming is insane! Talk about capturing the perfect angles and bringing the speed of this song to life!!!
When I first heard the original version by Ram Jam on the radio as an 11 year old in 1977 it was unlike anything I'd heard before, I called it the 'wild'song because of the 'wild guitar' ...well it sure ain't as wild as this!... f****** great!
The original recorded version was by Leadbelly, recorded in the 1930s by John Lomax. Leadbelly sings while only clapping out the beat. A song from the cotton fields that's drifted with the times.
@paulturner7628 fascinating..it turns out that the song goes back even further than that as it was originally a folk song and there's also a version by Starstruck which still featured Bill Bartlett, I've finally learned the Ram Jam version on guitar 46 years after first hearing it.
the Original was written and sung in 1933 and performed a cappella by the convict James "Iron Head" Baker and a group at Central State Farm, Sugar Land, Texas (a State prison farm). Baker was 63 years old at the time of the recording. I believe the second recording was 1939.
I can imagine getting a permit from the police to have a drummer with his drum kit being videoed on a trailer being towed through public streets. But then, knowing the band, they probably didn't bother. "O.K. We've got to do this in one take or else we might attract the wrong kind of attention."
My best mate here in NZ had a flat black EH Holden with a 149 in it, named it Black Betty, Held together with number 8 wire and with a brokin engine mount that when you went over 60 mph would fall off the engine mount and jam open the throttle, fun times back in the day.
This song makes me travel back to 2009. Aaahh the good teenage days, my music taste was immaculate. Thank you to that classmate that recommend me this song back then, good memories!!
The Ram Jam version was recorded in the lead singers backyard. As the band planned all along. The producer asked them how much budget they would need to shoot a music video and he told them 200$. The 2 hundred was for weed for the shoot. 😎🫶🏽
Yeah this. There are a few like this that I can never play cause of this lol. If you don't know them, may I suggest: Speed or Shock to the System by Billy Idol.
I love this music vid, it so clever how the drum platform mimics the hot rod, the exposed big block and the drum kit... a stand off.. then both send it! so brilliant
@@Enders1 I think originally the song was about a gun, and Black Betty’s “child” was a bullet. But in this context it’s a fantastic name for the hot rod :)
Such an awesome cover. Love the part when Kram rolls out of the garage and starts smashing his drums. This song is enough to give you a speeding ticket ha
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam) Yeah, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam) Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-lam) Damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-lam) She's always ready (Bam-ba-lam) She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-lam) Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam) Yeah, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
RAM JAM version like an intracate dance of the soul to a dynamic play of light and shade to make you groove happily. SPIDERBAIT version like a dynamo driven musical force of heart and spirit, charging and manoeuvring en masse and full pelt, getting your blood and spirit up ecstatically!
Yeah... Hello! Id like to report some awesomeness!! There's a guy on a drum kit racing a classic rock song down the highway, going a million miles per hour... and the devil in a black Ford trying to pass 'em both!!! 🖤😎🖤⚡🤣🤣🤣🤣

DAMN THIS GOES HARD😂
I have a similar memory, only no music was playing. I wish there had been. It was still memorable even without music.
I remember I was running from a dog and this song is all I thought about
THIS IS FORBIDDEN FUNNY (but still are you ok pal? 😅)
Good 'ol Dad.
The original Spiderbait video!!! SOOOO much better than the one with all the movie clips in it!

Ram jam extended version is awesome.
Janet on bass is forever kickass 😎
Love the hot rod the burnouts
The video speed
The distortion the voice mods
This is pro level
Dam that drum platform is genius
This song could melt lead.
Can never get enough of this song... required for all road trips, and not unusual to be on repeat
But isnt the original song from ram jam?
@@sebidobre5018 Original was actually a short song by Ledbelly. ua-cam.com/video/Fii6PX0-VXs/v-deo.html Ram Jam were the folks who made it popular...
@@mr_melvis The original dates back to well before Lead Belly, though he was the first artist to make it popular.
Dude if I listen to this on a road trip I will crash coz this makes me wanna go full throttle.😂
I can't listen to this without watching the video😊

Finally I find it on kurus letest video
How's your ear running?
Pretty good now I can hear everything
OOOHHHH BLACK BETTTYY
Like completely, who is Kuru?
Basically the original Black Betty but tuned up to 11. Love it.
Black Betty on steroids.
Wrong and wrong ... But it's alright to be wrong, mate!!

Too bad there's not a button to like this several times.
Just slide it back to the beginning 🙂
@@MaryHamilton-io6fi Oh yes Mary, I watch it several times a month...but UA-cam only counts my like once.
hell yea!!!
That is one badass 35 dodge coupe convertible !!!!!!
I love spiderbait ❤
Dont u love it when u see a drum kit racing a self-driving hot rod on a highway?
Aynen çok güzel oluyo öyle klipler
Haha

I was born in 2009 and I still grew up playing need for speed underground 2 on the ps2
Rock on 🤘 2024 . I could hear this song for 10 minutes or more 😊
One of best . The best Jerry. The best
Listening to this song everyday, since Need for Speed Underground 2. 😉
Same👍👍😂
You might listen to this song again, since Kuru was around.
@@PonySparkle69 How do you mean since he was around?

Earrape version of Black Betty.
@@PonySparkle69 Ik man, but it's still a good song. If "errape" means what I mean it is.

Honestly this video should get more views. It’s a masterpiece
I also absolutely LOVE the version by RAM JAM...the LIVE version recorded in someone's back yard.
Okay...
The Ram Jam version was recorded in the lead singers backyard. As the band planned all along. The producer asked them how much budget they would need to shoot a music video and he told them 200$.
The 2 hundred was for weed for the shoot. 😎🫶🏽
FINALLY they uploaded the actual original music video with the correct video on it.
Thank you.
This is a song that will cause you to get a speeding ticket when it comes on the radio
Yeah this. There are a few like this that I can never play cause of this lol.
If you don't know them, may I suggest: Speed or Shock to the System by Billy Idol.
Or impounded for doing burnouts
I laughed my ass off at this because I knew you were right 😂

Can’t get enough of this song and the car itself.
Agreed that custom hot rod looked so gorgeous 👍💪

Hard southern fried rock!
2023 still best song ever
this in back for blood is heat
And Animal on the drums!!!
Yes
Fricken insane remake of a remake with attitude and a whole lot more visuals. Love the drum kit outrunning the hotrod. Definitely a fun jam.
The best driving song ever and the video is just perfect! 🤘🏻
It's a good driving song but for me the BEST driving song will always be Genius by Pitchshifter.
I also like TNT by AC/DC.
@@UberSkunk 00
This, La Grange and Highway to Hell.
Yeah, you normally don't see a drum kit with that kind of acceleration these days...
Excellent cinematography for a great song - first time hearing this band! Thanx, UA-cam
This video has given me the deepest need to strap a drumset to the back of a pick up truck and just jam across town for years and one day I will do it
damn Ram Jam on high octane! this is like speeding so fast on a high way in slow motion and everyone is passing you by!
I'm replaying NFS: U2 and this song is the best company in that game. Guaranteed wins lol
Up there with a ZZ TOP VIDEO 👍👍
Glad you guys reuploaded the original clip without the shitty Seth Green movie clips interrupting the action.
I listened this song when youtube even didn't existed.. NFS U2.. that good times
Drum set racing a car.
Me an intellectual:
"Perl set races a Custom made Chevrolet"
35 dodge!
35 Ford actually
So many connoisseurs, yet no consensus ;D
Need For Speed Underground 2 on Xbox
Best song ever.
loving this - true rock
they dont make it like this anymore unfortunately
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Yeah, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-lam)
Damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-lam)
She's always ready (Bam-ba-lam)
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Yeah, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
This shit came on the jukebox in back4blood and it was the best part of the game simple as
NFS Underground 2 was the game that introduced me to it... Years later, I like it all the same!
The PT bus going past at the end is the best part 😂
Still listening in 2022 🤘😎🤘 #spiderbait #blackberry
Right here too!! 2022!
Now in 2024 😎👍

Ah when that riff starts at 1:50 you hit the accelerator. eat my dust coppers!!
Thars freakin rockin! Never get old❤
This song sounds like a 1980s *Punk Rock* version of Ram Jam's 1970 version. 😜

Of all the music on this channel this is STILL the best years later :)
Omg... The distortions kick my ear....noice!!
