Black Betty Lyrics:
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-Lam)
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (Bam-ba-Lam)
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-Lam)
I said "Oh, Black Betty" (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
She really gets me high (Bam-ba-Lam)
You know that's no lie (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-Lam)
And she's always ready (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
She's from Birmingham (Bam-ba-Lam)
Way down in Alabam' (Bam-ba-Lam)
Well, she's shakin' that thing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Boy, she makes me sing (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-Lam)
Whoa, Black Betty
Bam-ba-lam
Spiderbait with Black Betty
Did you know the original Black Betty was written in 1933?
The song was first recorded in the field by US musicologists John and Alan Lomax in December 1933, 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. - เพลง
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.
jet black hot rod without driver*
Who do you think is playing the banjo. 😅😂

FINALLY they uploaded the actual original music video with the correct video on it.
Thank you.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
@@laupernutwasn’t it recorded in a Texas prison in 33?
Love the hot rod the burnouts
The video speed
The distortion the voice mods
This is pro level
Dam that drum platform is genius
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 is taking you out from a grave... Love from Australia ❤️
That is one badass 35 dodge coupe convertible !!!!!!
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
0:30 RIP Kuru's ears
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?
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. th-cam.com/video/Fii6PX0-VXs/w-d-xo.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.😂
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!!!
Ram jam extended version is awesome.
The original Spiderbait video!!! SOOOO much better than the one with all the movie clips in it!
RatBikerNotts my ass
Fuck yeah... Thinking the same fucken thing
Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyy! Only been waiting since this was on RAGE for the original video to be posted back to its rightful place on TH-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!
Yeah I've been looking for this too
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.
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
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.
loving this - true rock
they dont make it like this anymore unfortunately
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 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."
Excellent cinematography for a great song - first time hearing this band! Thanx, TH-cam
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. 😎🫶🏽
Of all the music on this channel this is STILL the best years later :)
The guitar solo......💥💥💥
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 😂
@@stanknight9159 "Kickstart My Heart" by Motley Crue, "Crash" by Methods of Mayhem.
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!!
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.
One of best . The best Jerry. The best
*Za mało wyświetleń na taki zajebisty utwór*
Zgadzam się w 100%
Ahh - subtle and lyric and wonderful!
Honestly this video should get more views. It’s a masterpiece
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...
Woahhh black betty bam ba lam
Janet on bass is forever kickass 😎
YA BOY! AWESOME!
GREAT video concept!!! I got this on a JJJ Hotest 100 back in the day, awesome cover and love that hotrod
Can’t get enough of this song and the car itself.
Agreed that custom hot rod looked so gorgeous 👍💪
@@blitzo719 1935 Dodge
@@warrenjensen4670 still it’s gorgeous
I'm assuming Black Betty is supposed to be the Dodge here
@@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 :)
THANK YOU!!!! Only video of this was cut with that 'up shiz creek' movie
So badass man! Still love it! Never gets old
Rock on 🤘 2024 . I could hear this song for 10 minutes or more 😊

Such a good song man 👍🏻
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!
Its hell yeaaaa
