"I'm going down
going down down down down down
I'm going down
down down down down down
got my big feets in the window
and my head's on solid ground...
(copyright Freddie King)

1. Don't forget to mind the stepchildren
while you're down there.


...I love Oldschool.

2. Springsteen has a similar song
Whenever I hear it I think about my girlfriend.

4. Jeff Beck did a nice cover of it too-it's kind of a standard
my wife loves it-she plays bass.

7. Freddie King by way of Don Nix...


Nix co-produced "Getting Ready" with Leon Russell. He wrote "Going Down," "Same Old Blues," co-wrote "Living On The Highway" with Russell and "Palace Of The King" with Russell and "Duck" Dunn from Booker T & The MGs...

This has to be the definitive version of the song. Jeff Beck attempted it on "Jeff Beck Group," and while the playing is hot I can't get past the nails-down-a-blackboard "bloody awful" vocal from Bob Tench.

:toast:

8. My bad, thanks for the correction!
Freddie's version is the real deal.
