I think you misunderstand the choogle.

probably

I noticed that Amanda P. used "chooglin" in her recent New Yorker Dixie Chicks review.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 17 July 2020 20:08 (three years ago) link

is the grateful dead in “truckin” mode chooglin? the appeal of this style eludes me so much it’s actually interesting

according to this mostly incomprehensible article it’s a n american thing but zeppelin, t rex and motorhead occasionally had it, and the pixies killed it, while modest mouse and black keys briefly revived it. I’m glad at least to have a word that encapsulates everything I don’t get about US rock http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/news/2007-04-18/466915

you might call it syncopated motorik

I don't know what it means either but the original "Keep On Chooglin'" is one chord for 8+ mintues, which I approve of.

No googlin' without chooglin' (Sergey Brin and Doug Clifford are both Palo Alto natives).

CCR has proprietary chooglin' rights, in the same way that only Luie Luie can make people dance the touchy

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 17 July 2020 23:52 (three years ago) link

I believe it has been established here that CCR is the only entity that has ever properly choogled. They invented choogling, they perfected it, and the art of choogling died with them.

There are no other chooglers, nor will there be.

Feel the music on Dylan/The Band’s “Before the Flood” has some choogle in it, just not in the singing

The VU choogle song, albeit a fairly slow choogle, is undoubtedly "The Gift".

budo jeru, Saturday, 18 July 2020 01:58 (three years ago) link

disagree, yule velvets had _way_ more choogle than cale choogle. "train 'round the bend", that is some choogle. "move right in", choogle. "run run run" at the hilltop festival, choogle as fuck. "some kinda love" on 1969 live, that is about as choogle as it fucking gets, i mean listen to that fucking cowbell.

there is no choogle whatsoever in "heroin". ever.

Kate (rushomancy), Saturday, 18 July 2020 02:02 (three years ago) link

for god's sake, the velvet underground once did a medley of "european son" and "suzie q". what more possible choogle bona fides could you need?

Absolutely love CCR, I even liked them before I got into rock music. (When I was a kid, Hollywood licensed the shit out of their music. I think the first time I heard "Up Around the Bend" was in a TV commercial for Michael, an awful movie with John Travolta.)

I remember being surprised when I heard Richard Hell & the Voidoids cover the deep cut "Walking on the Water" on Blank Generation - turns out Robert Quine was a fan of that song - but someone pointed out to me that the Clash nicked the same riff for "London Calling." I checked to see whether or not that's true (or if the Clash thought they were getting their inspiration from Hell, not Fogerty), but I couldn't find an answer. Does sound like it though, and I love all three bands, so I kind of like the idea of something like that being passed down from one to the other.

OTM.

If someone (anarchists) were to allow that VU or the Dead choogles, it would be a choogle like a pleasant vestige of a wave lapping around the ankles of your giggling toddler the first time you take them to the beach, while CCR choogle on Keep on Chooglin' at Woodstock is a tsunami that builds and builds until it obliterates everything in its path, leaving you homeless and alone.

The Grateful Dead and the chooglin' don't belong in the same sentence.

this sounds to me like a clear-cut manifestation of chooglepessimism, the idea that ccr's choogle cannot possibly be analogized to the choogle of any other groups. we live in dark times indeed.

Kate (rushomancy), Saturday, 18 July 2020 14:39 (three years ago) link

Other bands are choogleproof, that's just how it is.

pomenitul, Saturday, 18 July 2020 14:42 (three years ago) link

Endless Boogie didn't call themselves Endless Choogle out of due respect for the kings of choogle.

Is Pearl Jam considered chooglin’-grunge?

Western® with Bacon Flavor, Saturday, 18 July 2020 14:56 (three years ago) link

choogle is the platonic ideal form to which all boogie/wanna-be-chooglin aspires to.

Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Saturday, 18 July 2020 14:56 (three years ago) link

Pearl Jam is definitely closer to chooglin' than boogie, which is probably what makes their music (especially their noodling) much more tolerable than it probably should be, at least as it is on paper.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 18 July 2020 15:02 (three years ago) link

I do hope people are not conflating boogie with choogle, there's no boogie constituent whatsoever in "Keep On Chooglin'".

The Fields o' Fat Henry (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 July 2020 15:35 (three years ago) link

yeah boogie is like the Status Quo, that is not the CCR's thing

― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz)

see, this is the problem with the way we frame our dialogue, always getting fucked up with the dualist philosophical tradition. choogle cannot be explained in terms of dualism, choogle needs no philosophical justification whatsoever. choogle did not exist in the realm of forms before creedence did "keep on chooglin'". nobody has ever choogled better than creedence did with "keep on chooglin'" at woodstock, but to say that such choogle is insuperable as an article of faith is to impoverish ourselves.
