THOR Debuts Music Video For Cover Of DOUCETTE Classic “Mama Let Him Play”
It’s a unique, but wholly understandable tie-in. Thor naturally plays a large part in the story, while the venue for the book launch, Neptoon Records in Vancouver BC, has been a staunch Thor supporter for years.
In fact, Thor recorded the vocals for Rock The Universe in the rooms above the store, where Neptoon owner Rob Frith’s son Ben operates Waffle House Sound studios.
Author Dayton, too, is a part of the story, and the video – that’s him singing along with Thor and guitarist Frank Soda, and clowning around as well, a potent reminder of one of Thor’s most heartfelt maxims, that “Heavy Rock does not always have to be so serious. There should always be an element of fun to rock’n’roll.”
Dayton even gets to manhandle Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, for a while. Pretty impressive for a mere mortal. And there’s also a guest appearance from Canadian journalist and musician Nardwuar, the self-styled Human Serviette!
The second single to thunder out of Rock The Universe (following that devastating cover of The Sweet’s “Action”) back in May, “Mama Let Him Play” was a massive, platinum award winning Canadian hit for the band Doucette in 1977 – in fact, Thor was so impressed by it that he was performing it on his 1978-79 Keep The Dogs Away tour.
Thor continues, “Jerry Doucette was a stellar Canadian artist and I always loved this song. It never became a big hit outside of Canada, but I wanted to tribute Jerry and his band Doucette by giving it a re-charge with this single release and video.
“It’s a catchy and fun song, as you can see all the people’s smiling faces and those singing along in the video.”
