Music Trivia for June 23rd.

Heres a question.  My crazy canadian sister just text messaged me this :
 
   Who sings that song that goes, "in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines, i shivered the whole night long"
 
   now, i take it that its some lame traditional folk song, but she wouldnt know that, and i know Bob Dylan has performed it, but you cant mistake his voice...so did anyone recent sing this song?

[conorh98]

She's probably referring to the Nirvanna unplugged version. But I think in that concert Kurt said that it's a Ledbelly song. Not sure though.

Marianne Faithful did a version of that song.

[mike9182]

The song is called "where did you sleep last night"

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Nothing lame about Leadbelly, dude.

well, I will go with Nirvana, I am pretty sure she heard it on the radio or something like that. and she's probably not listening to Faithful and if she was , she probably wouldve asked my pops and not me....

the song is called "In The Pines" and Nirvana renamed it.
 
  also, it was NOT written by Leadbelly, just made popular by him.
 
   either way, we got it.     thanks people!

I believe you're incorrect, sonick...
 
 In The Pines
 By Huddie 'Leadbelly' Ledbetter
 
 Performed by Bob Dylan on his first major gig, in Carnegie Chapter Hall, Nov 4, 1961, and during his longest gig, the Toad's Place concert Jan 12, 1990.

however
 
   Leadbelly
 
 
 One of the more notable covers of his work in recent time was done by Nirvana in November 1993, when they played Leadbelly's "In the Pines", which was retitled as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" as the closer to their legendary appearance for the MTV Unplugged series, which was subsequently released as an album. It should be noted, though, that this song was not originally written by Leadbelly as Cobain had stated.

Several sources list it as a "traditional" song popularized by Leadbelly.

Hmmm, wonder if Leadbelly gets royalties...

Where the hell's Hammerly when U need him?
 
 Point of trivia:
 
 Kurdt Cobain originally played on the Leadbelly classic, "In the Pines," on Mark Lanegan's 1990 "The Winding Sheet" album, along w/Chris Novoselic, and it was renamed "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" for that release.
 
 Cheers,

There was another version of it that I use to love done back in the late 60s or early 70s. Think it was by Maggie Bell.
 
 Or maybe it was Bonnie Bramlett with Eric Clapton, or something like that.

I think the words might have come from a real old poem or something. I vaguely remember reading it once and remembering the songs, but there were a couple of things that were changed.
