The lead singer misspelled the name while singing at one point sang the part G.O.R.L.I.A. So we followed suit and sang Gorlia. Quite fun. I suppose it's one of those instances where 'you had to be there'. Yeah, dyslexic "Gloria", G-R-O-L-I-A! It's hard to understand how anyone could dislike the combo of Morrison, Hooker and "Gloria" (or "Grolia" or "Gorlia", or whatever). |
shellbella Nov 28, 2012 - 16:20 | Love this version. |
Mugro Nov 28, 2012 - 16:20 | My sentiments as well. No me gusta. |

ziggytrix May 23, 2012 - 16:05 | I love peanut butter. And I love sauerkraut. But I would not want to eat them at the same time. I feel exactly the same way about listening to Van Morrison and Hooker in this song. :( |
ce Mar 21, 2012 - 05:58 | Nothing wrong with John Lee Hooker or Van Morisson, but IMNSHO it's the big group of real live actual human musicians, manually playing real physical instruments, that make this version good. And that's because they're not playing it perfectly. |

jimmunn Feb 18, 2012 - 11:59 | This is a train wreck. Just adding a blues legend to a performance doesn't necessarily make for a great performance. This is a perfect case in point. |
Byronape Jan 17, 2012 - 18:00 | I must not be in the "gets it" crowd. This is one of those songs that could not be anything more than an "eh" for me. It isn't bad, there's nothing really wrong with it that I can find, but it isn't really all that catchy to me either. I get what they are trying to do, but vocal acrobatics is annoying when it's a woman with a great voice, but when it's a dude with an ok (but distinctive) voice, it just doesn't do it for me. |

floydoftherocks Apr 08, 2011 - 14:32 | i definitely feel like a dick saying this but if you ignore VM's singing this is pretty good.. edit: actually, i feel more like people will think i'm a dick for saying this.. i actually feel just fine with that statement. |
