What a dick, blue sheep. Maybe make some animation of your own instead of comparing two people who are both passionate artists and creative people who don't need to hear your irrelevant bullshit about who you think is 'better'.
i feel like im the only one who noticed this, but this song has a bunch of references to their other songs. the reversed sample from dragons, the percussion in the intro from beatophone, its essentially a compilation of every one of their songs... and its amazing...

I think "Black Betty" is now the reason I'm obsessed with this type of music. Now I see why my parents say I'm a hand full (Obsessed with dub step just yesterday)

Great cover, great way to start 2017! On a side note, there's a lot of interesting theories about the history of this song-- variations of it may date all the way back to the 1800s, and 'Black Betty' has been suggested as a metaphor for a type of liquor, a model of car, a whip used to punish slaves or prisoners, and a flintlock musket-- hence the 'bam-ba-lam', the sound of the gun being triggered and firing.
I'm sure it has something to do with slavery since it's a pretty old Blues/Folk song, but flint-lock muskets were never referred to as 'Black Betty', so I don't think it's about that
traduccion en español: Yo: *un asesino entra a mi habitación a matarme Asesino: " Woah Black Betty ( letra de la canción) Yo: "BAM-ALAM!!!" also yo: ho Mierda
You need the degree symbol "°"; which is not available on American Keyboards for some reason. If you are on PC, hold alt and the type 248. Once you release alt, the symbol should appear. Not sure how to get it on Mac.
when caravan palace release a new song; me: *Sitting in my room bored* youtube: *Caravan Palace - Black betty* me: Sweet lets listen to it *After the song* me; OH BLACK BETTY! BAM BA LAM!
A story to this I thought of: So it starts out of a woman (Betty) wearing a black dress from the 1920's dancing and celebrating new years at a party. Soon she takes off her dress and undo her hair and she's wearing a shirt and pants and a dj booth appears and she starts djing for a New Years party. It cuts back to the woman from the 1920's with a champagne glass and holds it up and everyone at the party does the same thing and goes back to the dj girl holding one and everyone at the party is too and the video ends Edit: it's to celebrate the new year at the end
The song is old, and while its origins remain elusive, the most popular theory is that it developed as a popular marching song for one side of the American Civil War (probably the South). "Black Betty" is most likely a nickname for either hard liquor, or a rifle.
Black Betty is a Blues song, so ofc it relates to slavery. I don't think it's talking about a rifle though, as no musket rifles were referred to as Black Betty
The person of whoms name is a complicated compilation of noises sounding like "Bethany" is of the species Homo-sapien, originating from the 2nd largest (in terms of mass) land mass crossed with the people of which occupy an approximation of 8 per cent of our planets surface area.
Bethany, a female homo sapien of unknown maiden name presumebly between the ages of twenty one to fourty, whom is also of the minority of the homo sapien population on Earth, also known as Terra which in turn is located in the Sol star system in the 3rd position from the star (92.96 million miles distance). These homo sapiens are theorized to be the first to exist and originate in a very large landmass mostly in the southern hemisphere in what the homo sapiens consider the Eastern part of the world. This landmass (dubbed 'Africa' by the indigineous populace) is home to a race of homo sapien consisting of 15% of the planetary body known as 'Earth's population. This race is characterized by much darker skin than most other races in the homo sapien species and being generally descriminated against and even enslaved throughout much of recent homo sapien history up until approximately one point five centuries ago thus earning Bethany the nickname of 'Black Betty'. Black referring to the color of her skin and Betty being a common shortening of the feminine homo sapien name of Bethany
Black Betty is just awesome for 40 years. (For those who don't know, Ram Jam had the original made in 1977) Also the cover by Spiderbait is great. (Edit) This is actually all wrong.
The song actually dates back further than audio recordings, and people aren't really sure who or what black Betty really was. Theories range from a real person, to a cannon, to a bottle of alchohol
I've been blessed with a name that fits in perfectly after "Woah Black Betty..."

Electro swing is like my favorite!
Caravan palace is wonderful
you should also listen to "Alice Francis" loads of goodies there aswell.
Interesting song to cover. This is unexpected, but very good! 😀
Who was the original artist??
Ram Jam
The Ram Jam wasn't the original; it goes as far back to 1939 by Lead Belly. It's a perfectly appropriate song to cover.
It was originally written by an old blues artist called Lead Belly but it was covered and popularized by Ram Jam. :}
the Melvins do a great version of this song.
Amazing. Simply amazing.

You need the degree symbol "°"; which is not available on American Keyboards for some reason. If you are on PC, hold alt and the type 248. Once you release alt, the symbol should appear.
Not sure how to get it on Mac.
I have UK keyboard
As a person who played rayman legend’s when I was a kid this is very nostalgic
Bringing back a lost art
Jacob Jones referring to quality music ?

when caravan palace release a new song;
me: *Sitting in my room bored*
youtube: *Caravan Palace - Black betty*
me: Sweet lets listen to it
*After the song*
me; OH BLACK BETTY! BAM BA LAM!
It's been a while since I've listened to Caravan Palace !
Thanks youtube recommendations
A story to this I thought of:
So it starts out of a woman (Betty) wearing a black dress from the 1920's dancing and celebrating new years at a party. Soon she takes off her dress and undo her hair and she's wearing a shirt and pants and a dj booth appears and she starts djing for a New Years party. It cuts back to the woman from the 1920's with a champagne glass and holds it up and everyone at the party does the same thing and goes back to the dj girl holding one and everyone at the party is too and the video ends
Edit: it's to celebrate the new year at the end
The song is old, and while its origins remain elusive, the most popular theory is that it developed as a popular marching song for one side of the American Civil War (probably the South). "Black Betty" is most likely a nickname for either hard liquor, or a rifle.
Wheeshnaw Ik it's old it's just a thing I came up with. Not really anything to do with the actual song
Black Betty started out as a song African-American chain gangs would sing while working on Railroads or Plantations
Black Betty is a Blues song, so ofc it relates to slavery. I don't think it's talking about a rifle though, as no musket rifles were referred to as Black Betty
There was a British musket called the Brown Bess
CARAVANE PALACE JUST PERFORMED LONE DIGGER ON TV JEWELS HOLLAND

Bethany of African American descent
Courier Six xD that's funny
The person of whoms name is a complicated compilation of noises sounding like "Bethany" is of the species Homo-sapien, originating from the 2nd largest (in terms of mass) land mass crossed with the people of which occupy an approximation of 8 per cent of our planets surface area.
Bethany, a female homo sapien of unknown maiden name presumebly between the ages of twenty one to fourty, whom is also of the minority of the homo sapien population on Earth, also known as Terra which in turn is located in the Sol star system in the 3rd position from the star (92.96 million miles distance). These homo sapiens are theorized to be the first to exist and originate in a very large landmass mostly in the southern hemisphere in what the homo sapiens consider the Eastern part of the world. This landmass (dubbed 'Africa' by the indigineous populace) is home to a race of homo sapien consisting of 15% of the planetary body known as 'Earth's population. This race is characterized by much darker skin than most other races in the homo sapien species and being generally descriminated against and even enslaved throughout much of recent homo sapien history up until approximately one point five centuries ago thus earning Bethany the nickname of 'Black Betty'. Black referring to the color of her skin and Betty being a common shortening of the feminine homo sapien name of Bethany
+Courier Six Why do you point out 'African' Amercian but never 'European' American? Or 'Asian' American? Doesn't make sense.
Black Betty is just awesome for 40 years. (For those who don't know, Ram Jam had the original made in 1977)
Also the cover by Spiderbait is great.
(Edit) This is actually all wrong.
tekt the original was by Lead Belly in 1939
Oh dang, didn't know. Thanks. Well even better then!
The song actually dates back further than audio recordings, and people aren't really sure who or what black Betty really was. Theories range from a real person, to a cannon, to a bottle of alchohol
Tsk tsk tekt, you didn't do your wikipedia search before commenting. :P
Yeah, I know :(
The caravan style is Unique🙏🏿
