Pridesale 6th Dec 2024		alas such is the problem of YT that visuals from anywhere can be matched with an audio source from anywhere. We have to rely on the accuracy of the uploader to state their sources for proper provanance.



RecordDragon 6th Dec 2024		Was this 78 reissued on Decca? Not the highest quality audio, but this video is playing a Decca 78 RPM with the British lyrics.



RecordDragon 24th Sep 2015		Here's the A-side. Has different lyrics



Alan Warby 17th Jul 2013		"Beep Beep" was awarded a Gold Disc.



Jock_Girl 6th May 2013		Yes -- Charlie Brown was banned because of the word 'spitball' Back to 'Beep Beep', though -- I didn't mean the 'US version' in terms of nation of origin. Perhaps I should have said 'original version'. That said, the curiousness of banning a song such as 'A Rose and Baby Ruth' even though the audience would not know what a Baby Ruth (candy bar) was, leads me to say that they banned Beep Beep's original lyric so that that version would not played, even though it was not available in the UK (the record not the cars -- though not too sure about little Nash Ramblers)



KeithS SUBS 🍰 6th May 2013		Do I rember right when The Coasters "Charlie Brown" got banned because of the term "Spitball"????



TheJudge 6th May 2013		The BBC's ban had little if anything to do with the nation of origin of the recording. Strange as it may seem to many nowadays, the BBC was for decades extremely sensitive to the appearance of brand names during their programmes (radio or TV), for fear of appearing to be advertising something or other, and thus compromising what they saw as their lofty integrity. On TV, packets of washing powder which appeared in plays (or even on kids programmes telling the youngsters how to make their own Dalek, or some such) were covered up either by judicially folded flaps or by masking tape. On radio, a programme such as Down Your Way actually had to state that it was coming "from a car factory in Dagenham" without even breathing the particular 'F'-word which would tell you the name of the company which owned said factory. This coyness was almost certainly the reason for any recording of this song including the names 'Cadillac' and 'Nash Rambler' being utterly verboten.



KeithS SUBS 🍰 6th May 2013		Just listened to 37 versions of "Beep Beep's" on the myriad of CD's on Spotify and all seem to have the Cadillac version. One thing I did learn was that the original tapes were speeded up as the song was originally much slower and even had an introduction



Jock_Girl 6th May 2013		Point taken, as I had not heard the UK issue. That said, an image of any pressing of the US version is not available to link to. The ban was no doubt to ensure that the US version would not be played. I have to wonder how that is playing out today. Which version would be played on teh BBC should one request it as the US version is probably the one on most re-issue CDs



Whyperion SUBS 5th May 2013		I had thought that possibly at one time 'limousine' had been trade-marked , but the style ( and financial associations with it ) had derived from horse-drawn part covered carriages in the mid 19th century , according to wikipedia. The things one learns ..



KeithS SUBS 🍰 5th May 2013		The US Roulette version starts "While riding in my Cadillac" while the UK version used "limousine" Its more likely that EMI foresaw the inherent problems and requested an amended version PRIOR to release, rather than the BBC banning it



Whyperion SUBS 4th May 2013		Can I take issue with Jock_Girl in that youtube and 45cat claim that the UK issue was modified to the supposedly more generic ' Limousine ' and ' Bubble Car ', so while the Roulette USA issue was on the BBC list , this one was not.
