The Vibrators - Judy Says - live Birmingham 1978
The Vibrators - Judy Says (Knock You in the Head) as performed live on Revolver, July 29th 1978.
The Vibrators were founded by Ian 'Knox' Carnochan, bassist Pat Collier, guitarist John Ellis, and drummer John 'Eddie' Edwards. They first came to public notice at the 100 Club when they backed Chris Spedding in 1976. On Spedding's recommendation, Mickie Most signed them to his label RAK Records. Most produced their first single, "We Vibrate". The band also backed Spedding on his single, "Pogo Dancing".
The Vibrators recorded sessions for John Peel at BBC Radio 1 in October 1976, June 1977, and February 1978. They were one of the pioneering punk bands that played at London's Roxy Club. They headlined in January 1977, supported by the Drones, and in February they played twice at the venue. In March 1977, the band supported Iggy Pop on his British tour. Later that year, they backed ex-Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter.
Lyrics as follows
Judy says she's gonna knock you in the head tonight.
Judy says she's gonna knock you in the head tonight.
Judy says she's gonna knock you in the head,
You'd wanna watch out or you'll wind up dead,
Judy says she's gonna knock you in the head tonight.
Suzie's gonna give you a hot shot tonight.
Suzie's gonna give you a hot shot tonight.
Suzie's gonna give you a hot shot,
You're off to heaven with a thanks a lot,
Suzie's gonna give you a hot shot tonight.
But, don't you worry 'bout me baby,
Don't you worry,
Your money's safe from me well it'll be alright.
Alright -
Songwriters: Ian Milroy Carnochan
