Pretty darned SWEET! The original still has some certain sound to it that maybe nothing can re-create, but it's mighty fine to hear this, too!

every time I hear this song, I think of the scene from Prophecy where Christopher Walken and his zombie companion ask the waitress Madge for directions ... http://www.brego.net/d01/movies/prophecy-walken/pro-w-16-madge-320.mov

Nothing can be as good as the original.  Santo & Johnny also didn't have King Crimson's Robert Fripp laying down the ambient background track to the tune.  A solid '8' to the original tune's '10'.

Uh, this is a tune interpreted by Satriani... it was written by Santo & Johnny Farina.

 
..and Ann Farina too apparently.

I only remember the Shadows version, from 1961.

Nice music from a time when artists flowed across genre boundaries... Pick up a few of the Santo and Johnny CDs... dance slowly...
Good sound to add to the flow this afternoon... I like this day's soundtrack... Movies of my days with soundtrack by RP... If I had a shorter plot, the movie might sell... but this plot has twists and turns that take a lifeime to develop with characters shalow and complex... Just like real life... Harlequin-? Nope... Black Sparrow-? Maybe... a very weak maybe
 
My older brothers had this track on a Santo & Johnny LP; it was great to grow up hearing their version.

Not nearly as good as the original.  Only worth a 4.

Ah yes, the Santo and Johnny version from back in the day was something to hear.  On my AM radio, listening to KFSD, sitting at the Aztec Drive-in down El Cajon Blvd in San Diego.  My 1950 Kaiser Traveller all spiffed up.  My delicious girl friend with the Beehive Hairdo, Poodle Skirt and a #40 MaidenForm uplift bra emulating the Great Pyramids, we watching Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello in some beachblanket bingo movie.  My throbbing ruby tipped Engine of Love ensnared in the restraining straight-jacket prison of my levis, feeling her tongue and mine squirming together like a basket of cocaine-crazed electric eels dancing a frenetic St. Vitus Dance as they writhe in Frenzied Urgency as if they were slowly boiled alive in a gigantic fleshy cavern of biting teeth, salivary juices and smashing metal braces.

At least I think that was what happened back in the Good Ole Days.

This is a cool and faithful version, but it doesn't really need that generic drumbeat, which is a little invasive (IMO).

Never understood why artists choose to do their own renditions of tunes that are already perfect. Santo and Johnny...were it. This is a great attempt...perhaps its a tribute to what they enjoyed or were influenced by.

This one sounds like much of Satriani's stuff- without much soul, but technically really well done.

I agree. I could tell from the first note it wasn't S&J - something just "missing" in the feeling department.

Maybe this particular track evokes some feeling in you, and that's great - but to say some music has feeling or doesn't is one of the weirdest things people ever say about music.
And again...feeling alone, if it's really there, does not equal something good. Need I repeat my grotesque turd analogy?
