Nope, won’t be changing the challenge! I could come up with a list of “first 50” ten times and probably get ten different versions. :stuck_out_tongue:

Did the video get taken down?

Maybe? DMCA complaint perhaps? Hopefully Josh did not get a copyright strike.

Looks like it. Wasn’t there a very short Beatles fragment in it?

That will do it

Yeah, if I remember correctly, @JoshFossgreen even mentioned it in the video, and said that he’d have to keep it short to keep it from getting banned. Guess it wasn’t short enough :roll_eyes:

The Revolution Was Postponed Due to Rain - Brooklyn Funk Essentials

It’s funky, funny, and all about timing … the song is about 5 minutes almost entirely pounding the A-B (I even got this one by ear, early on). It hits D#, F# and A# in the middle a couple times, but that B gets pounded … Lati Kronlund, is one of my bass heroes …

What a song title. I wasn’t familiar with this, but it’s hilarious!

Ding ding ding, you all guessed correctly - I dared to include a Beatles song, so now dealing with the dispute process, which I’m 99% sure will be arbitrated automatically by evil robots in favor of whoever “owns” the song (although the claim is on a 2019 Mix I didn’t even use lol), so then I’ll have to clip out the song.

Really sucks, Beatles bass lines are a big part of bass history, I’d love to teach them… but unfortunately “fair use” copyright law is not actually practiced on Youtube.

It is hilarious and funky!! BFE is a favorite band of mine. That song is about 20 years old.

Another similar funky ‘story’ song is “Date with Baby” by them … but their new stuff is totally different, still funky, and just love BFE. They only tour in Europe, so I might have to make that trip. They were in London in April. Wish I had been … :slight_smile:

Lati Kronlund is their bass player, band leader, and founded the band in the late 90s. He is solid.
