Hospitality - Rikki Don't Lose That Number (Steely Dan cover)

[@markospeck8449]

well this just dropped back out of the sky. thank you God

[@vicreevesc5751]

I couldn't tell you for the life of me what I liked so much about this cover that made me think about it on a nearly weekly basis for all the years it was lost from the Internet. The original, should on paper, be superior in every conceivable way, yet there is something about this rendition that is damn joyously life-affirming. So glad it's back up!

[@klc6482]

Totally agree!

[@lionhartd138]

One word: PunkRock

[@nomoremister]

It's a hearbreak song either way, but there's a different kind of tension at this tempo. I grew up on the original, but I play this a lot now.

[@ibx33]

One of the few covers I like way more than the original. I used to watch this almost daily

[@Andrew-wb2zq]

Man, this kicks ass. These folks were seriously good.

[@antonharmony1]

I look for this all the time. It’s back.

[@andyinoregon]

Been a Dan fan since their first album dropped in late 1972. There are plenty of faithful covers of this classic from 1974, so thanks for reinventing it in spectacular fashion here.

[@ethanyoder9953]

Wow, I can't believe this is back up. Such a great cover. Bought the first Hospitality album based on the strength of this cover (which is seriously a fantastic album)

[@jbeebee6728]

Donald and Walter would be proud of you. Guitar solo !!!! Lead Vocal... Thank You. Because of this I bought your Album 5 Stars

[@benjaminjohnspencer1864]

Thank you for re-uploading this fantastic, post punk inspired cover. Don’t know if this band is still around but they really made this song their own with the rough and raw guitar and awesome harmonies

[@netamendonka8048]

Muy grata versión la de estos chicos para este grandísimo tema de Stelly Dan😊

[@1999rustey]

This is pretty great. The zoom in on that bass riff 👍🏻

[@erictejeiro3203]

Thank you for this, I thought it was lost forever.

[@manyworlds]

For the life of me I can't understand why AV Club wiped all their Undercover vids from the web. This is one of the really good ones. We need more!

[@user-no7vv5gi2v]

most likely a licensing issue

[@manyworlds]

@@user-no7vv5gi2v Cover versions embody a compulsory license though. As long as they're receiving mechanical royalties from UA-cam, I can't understand why a songwriter would insist on a takedown - unless of course they're Don Henley.

[@peroncito]

This was out of the internet for years. Such a beautiful cover. Thanks!!

[@seventhtrumpetmusic]

Thank you for reinventing this song. I hate covers that duplicate the original. What’s the point? Bass player is insanely good on the turnaround run. Electric lead is better than Skunk’s. Vocalist turns the song into punk. I’m not a punk fan but for some reason I love this. Drummer is steady. Well done!

[@georgemadison3466]

100% truth. can't believe this.

[@philclogger4562]

This is one of my favorite covers..

[@robertmoser3415]

Simplicity with a punky attitude yet very very tasty Nice job 😎

[@ToddZilla813]

All of the AV songs should be on spotify dang it!

[@josephsmith2682]

Wow this rocks. This is the first interesting cover of a Dan song ive heard

[@liha810]

GREAT INSTRUMENTALS ! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS !

[@sergiomunoz184]

Tienen algo especial....me gusto❤

[@lewallen1971]

Dude kills this lead!

[@M5guitar1]

This is my favorite song the world. for now.

[@tmac8892]

Best av club I've seen

[@baerster]

Thanks so much for posting!! I've been looking for this for years.

[@zvigilbert4649]

This song made me fall in love with Hospitality. Too bad they don't release music any more!

[@m1goodwin]

Love it, Love it, Love it. Can’t get enough.

[@joeochoa5467]

Cool . love her voice

[@smokegetsinyoureyes]

Thank you for uploading this!! Always sad that AV club deleted the old undercover sessions, this one is such a great one so glad to see it up

[@ghostpick8133]

This clip led me to explore this band and download their album. I don’t think they exist anymore.

[@llewvincent7537]

Her voice is really great and they can all play too! So hard to re-interpret the Great Steely Dan but this is a fabulously good version - my compliments!

[@mke7876]

More up beat than the original. Definitely has a 90s feeling 👍🏻

[@julia-ex7im]

funky groovey

[@edineiaalvesdeoliveira2974]

UAU !!!!
BRASIL, América do Sul ligado em vocês mesmo !

[@justinunderwood4993]

Brilliant.

[@konradhof7318]

Punki Don’t Lose That Number

[@Peter-ih2tn]

Great chorus on this one

[@edmundau-yeung9598]

Hospitality where have you guys gone??

[@kuttumliana]

I love you guys ❤, such a good cover👍👍👍👍👏

[@christainragar3177]

Seriously thanks pal for the repost!

[@l1m1n4l]

Very cool. Very cool!

[@stephenbirks6458]

Pretty darn good !

[@seadog2396]

Very Impressive Cover....

[@arsenelupin6784]

Bien vu !

[@michaelpiston8085]

Interesting. I like it !

[@1ndi64]

I really love this version of one of Steely Dan's finest songs. Cool vocals, intricate guitar playing and great musicianship... it's not easy to play this number but they did a great job!

[@gregbrown5129]

That was actually pretty good.

[@quirkwoods]

Great cover!

[@foxholiday4308]

I miss AV undercover,so much

[@CloudSturgeon]

Scott Smith what happened to the series?

[@foxholiday4308]

They just stopped doing it, in 2017 or 2018 I honestly don’t know why

[@bigprairiedog8865]

She didnt have confidence with the buckingham song, but this one, she talked her way through this song just fine.

[@lesmatheson6001]

This is how the Ramones would have played it.

[@georgemadison3466]

TRUTH

[@walkingtal4157]

i thought this was banned or something. THANK YOU!!!!

[@liha810]

BETTER NOT BE BANNED! BEST AND GREATEST CLASSIC OF ALL TIME !! 🎶🎤🎶🎤🎶🥁🥁🥁

[@user-pd5fv1cb4c]

1:00

[@donovanbaker7852]

i love you. god damn it.

[@joshuapowers8446]

How did they learn it so quickly? Flawless performance as far as I could tell. And the guitar solo, phenomenal!

[@ronnyparker]

fun wish it was closer to the real thing......

[@edyarb]

Sounds like The Flying Lizards cover of Money (that's what I want)

[@svloosely6516]

Better than the original

[@mxkguitar]

Freaky! I dig it! 🤘😎

[@waynemorrison5204]

👍

[@beergeek123]

Took a great song and made it better! Make your argument!

[@schildt22]

Is it just me or does she sound like Juliet Lewis

[@mcwhirlpoolinc2641]

very unique cover. I like their rendition. Still, aint no Steely Dan.

[@harney-barrow2036]

groovy cover tbh

[@henrybartlett1986]

Great! Don’t replicate it, do your version.

[@christopherallen9580]

Joan Jett version

[@kwk4422]

I really like this cover but I wish Amber's vocals were a little less staccato. Background singers: "You might use it if you feel better.." Amber: "... 'u ge' ho'."

[@AmmoMaster]

is it wrong that I'm watching this video naked

[@123spleege]

um.......uh..............what?

[@steveoshaughnessy3736]

Too fast. It's sorrowful song.

[@flexwinggpipi]

Way too faaaast

[@jsghetler]

I think it’s done pretty well, they made it their own. They didn’t do a crappy Steely Dan wannabe cover, which is most steely dan covers. Good on them for doing their own style and succeeding in making good music.

[@glennchambers2220]

They made Rikki swing and it works. All of it.
