The Blow Monkeys ~ Diggin' Your Scene {Extended Mix} You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Love this song, had no idea there was an extended version. Whatever happened to them? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Absolutely great track.
Best version for me is the Phil Harding's "Re-Mix" from the 10".
I like the "Extended Version", but sometimes I find it a little too much "stop&go".

the 45 single radio mix was always my favorite with the sped up background singers.
The same vocals are on this version. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I know...like someone else said...it might be just the stop and go of it all....just liked the short u.s. mix version the best. There was another version without the added background vocals too I didnt like..may have been the uk 45 version? Straight Jacket Funk Affair

The band dissolved in 1990 then reunited in 2007.
An interesting side note: According to lead vocalist/leader Dr Robert, the band took its name from an Australian racial slur for Aboriginal wind instrumentalists, which someone used after he played a gig with Aborigines. "They nicknamed us the Blow Monkeys, which I think is a pretty racist thing, but I thought it was a good band name", he said in an interview. [Edited 1/12/12 10:51am] | |

I didn't know their name meant anything. I thought it was just made up. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

For me its like something I'll forget for a while then suddenly out of nowhere go "Diggin your scene, need to hear that now." and go play it. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

Never heard the extended version of this song, thanks! "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"
