Fanny - Hey Bulldog (1971) | LIVE

----------------------------------------------------
Sheepdog
Standing in the rain
Bullfrog
Doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you're something special when you smile?

Child-like
No one understands
Jack knife
In your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me

Hedgehog
Living in the sand
Leapfrog
Giving him a hand
Some kind of attitude is measured out inside
You think you're going but you haven't got a ride

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can tal to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me
Big man
Walking in the park
Wigwam
Frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know me but you haven't got a clue

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely you can talk to me

Wahoo woof! Woof!
Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!
Hey bulldog! Hey bulldog!

Hey man, what's that boy?
Woof!
What do you say?
I said "woof!"
You know anymore?
Wooaah ha ha ha!
You've got it, that's it, you had it!
That's it, man, woo!
That's it! You've got it!
Don't look at me man, I only have ten children
Ah ho! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Quiet boy, quiet!
Okay
Quiet!

Hey bulldog!
Hey bulldog!

Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums.

Sisters June Millington (born April 14, 1948, Manila, Philippines) and Jean Millington (born May 25, 1949, Manila, Philippines) moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California in 1961. In high school they formed an all-girl band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt was later replaced by Alice de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, Mason City, Iowa). When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles.

In January 1970, Nickey Barcley was asked to join Fanny as a singer and keyboardist. She was one of the main songwriters and lead singers in the group, and appeared on all their albums, adding soul, blues and funk influences to the group's overall sound.

This is like watching a scene from a movie about a fictitious 70s band but only it's real.

[Khayyam-vgfw]

Don’t forget……girl bands in the early 70’s really didn’t get the credit they deserved……these girls were just a little ahead of their time

[steveplas]

Lucky enough to hear these rockers play live at the 1971 Chippewa Lake Park ballroom [since long ago burned down] in Medina OH sponsored by some Detroit FM station. Alice Cooper failed to show but these girls made it so you didn't care. [And the just kickin' in windowpane tuned them up a lot. Hey, after all, it was, and I suppose still is: O on each side and high in the middle.]
Yes, Virginia, the 70's were everything your mother and father warned you against: freedom.

[JustSayNo]

What the hell did I just watch? That was INCREDIBLE.

[billhollman]

Saw Fanny live at the Whiskey in 1972. I walked in, and they were playing Hey Bulldog, to a packed house. The band was so tight, in the pocket. One of the best live performances I have ever seen.

[elforeigner]

Fanny were one of the best in the Seventies. They played for real!
So sad they weren’t more popular.

[thomasmartin]

The Beatles would be so proud of this reading. Love this version.

[micktaylorisgod]

Best Beatle cover ever. It sounds and looks better every time I watch it.

[grgl]

Not one weak spot in that lineup, extremely talented musicians!

[SC-jhqp]

I'm 57 and I'd never heard of this band until a week ago, but I'm very impressed.

[davebeach]

Their choice of covering one of the Beatles best songs, while putting their own distinctive stamp on it, makes this group one of those bands needing much more exposure. Well worth anyone's time watching.

[IronBhoy]

Just came across this in 2024. Absolutely astonishing level of musicianship by these ladies. Great song too. ❤️👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[mertyparvin]

Real deal right here. Never got the full recognition they deserved.

[libraryquiet]

What the heck?!! Man, this was killer! Their arrangement is tight and free. I never heard of Fanny. Hey Bulldog is one of my favorite songs by the Beatles. These girls made it their own. Too much man!

[craigpimlott]

The drummer is fantastic .and her hair is stunning ❤❤❤

[ColonelAngus]

June Millington lives a few miles away from me in Western Massachusetts. My friend Tom got a chance to play her Goldtop Les Paul recently at a benefit in Florence, Massachusetts for her sister Jean. He was so happy. This band was fantastic and played and wrote better music than a lot of all male groups from the early 70's. I'm happy for them for finally getting the much deserved recognition they were denied in their prime.

[jandehaan]

Watching Alice on drums is mesmerizing.

[williamrenz]

This Beatles song was the perfect vehicle to show off how talented all four of the Fanny band members really were.
