Song that was much better the first time: That song by The Neville Brothers "Free my soul I want to hear some rock'n roll" ( I don't know the real name). BUT WHO THE fuck told Uncle Cracker he was even in the same league as those boys. As a rule of thumb: if you suck at singing or have no talent, you shouldn't do well known covers.
It was originally done by Dobie Gray. The lyrics you're thinking of is "Give me the beat boys and free my soul, I want to get lost in your rock'n'roll and drift away..."
