Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!
Eddie! Eddie!
dark side's calling now,
nothing is real
she'll never know
just how I feel
from out of a shadow,
she walks like a dream
make me feel crazy,
make me feel so mean
nothin' gonna save me
from a love that's blind
slip to the dark side
across that line
on the dark side
oh, yeah
on the dark side
oh, yeah
dark side's calling now,
nothing is real
she'll never know
just how I feel
from out of a shadow,
she walks like a dream
make me feel crazy,
make me feel so mean
nothin' gonna save me
from a love that's blind
slip to the dark side
across that line
on the dark side
oh, yeah
on the dark side
oh, yeah...
In the summer of '63,
on the dark side
Was the number one song
in the country.
It's even bigger now.
that's Joann Carlino.
She was Eddies girl.
sally plays the bass.
Wendell on sax.
Kenny on drums.
guy on piano
was frank ridgeway.
Called him the Wordman.
on the dark side
oh, yeah
Wendell...
that was
august of 1963.
Died of
a heart attack.
He was only 37.
March 15, 1964.
It was a little
after 5 a. M.
Eddie's car went off
the Raritan bridge.
Must've been
a hell of an accident.
Who says accident?
You saying
he was murdered?
Could've been
a suicide.
All right, so what's
our hook gonna be?
What about the idea
that Eddies still alive?
You mean
"Eddie lives"?
It's possible.
They never found his body.
I get it.
Eddie swam away
from the car,
Had Jim Morrison waiting
for him on shore,
And then Amelia Earhart
flew them both to Paris
Where they're all
living together in sin.
Look, there are a lot
of holes in this story.
Now, something was
going on with that group,
Something that nobody
knows anything about.
Get to the point,
Maggie.
Did you ever hear of a poet
named Arthur Rimbaud?
French lit. 105.
It was required.
Ok, kiddies,
You want to sit back
in your seats and listen?
Sure.
"A season in hell.
"A spiritual and
confessional autobiography.
"Arthur Rimbaud
was a genius.
"His writings
were a quest.
"A search for perfection.
"An attempt to find
total freedom.
"At the age of 19,
"Arthur Rimbaud
committed suicide,
Not of the flesh,
but of the mind and soul. "
What's that
supposed to mean?
It means he never
wrote another word
And disappeared
off the face of the earth.
He was not seen
nor heard from again
For nearly 20 years,
Until he reappeared
in a hospital in Marseilles
On his deathbed.
Maggie,
it's a terrific story.
I just don't see
What this has got to do
with Eddie Wilson.
You know where Eddie
was coming from
The night of the accident?
He was coming
from a recording studio
Where he just finished
taping an album.
You know what the name
of that album was?
A season in hell.
So what you're saying
Is that Wilsons
pulling a Rimbaud?
I don't know, but if he is,
We've got ourselves
one hell of a story,
Don't we, guys?
You think you can
get your hands
On those tapes?
I went to satin records
yesterday.
I figure that the master
had to be sitting
In their vault.
I wondered why they never
released this album.
You know what I found out?
The tapes are missing.
Someone checked them out
on march 16...
The day after Eddie
supposedly died.
And that's going
to be our hook.
...on the jersey side
of the Holland tunnel,
The jersey turnpike,
and the...
sidewalk surfers
ride the streets
in supervans
fires light the faces
of the gypsy caravans
open up your door
we'll let those
lake pipes roar
into the
wild summer nights
oh, baby, those
wild summer nights
summer nights
wild summer nights
oh, baby, run wild
summer nights
run wild
summer nights
back on the charts again,
Eddie and the cruisers,
doing wild summer nights
From their hit album,
tender years.
And this is Scott muni at n. E.W.
Hey, Mr. Ridgeway!
Hey, nice catch.
"... and so
I dared to hope...
"though changed,
no doubt, from what I was
"When first I came
among these hills.
"When like a roe,
I bounded o'er the mountains
"By the sides of the deep rivers
and the lonely streams,
"Wherever nature led.
"More like a man
"Flying from something
that he dreads
And one who sought
the thing he loved. "
So, what's wordsworth
getting at?
He's saying
that places stay the same,
But people change.
Ok, do people change,
or don't they?
Now that's worth
talking about.
All right.
Have a nice weekend.
And remember, I don't want
to see any of your faces
For at least 48 hours.
as I walk alone
I wonder
what went wrong
with our love
a love
that was so strong
and as I
still walk on
I think of
the things we've done
together
while our hearts
were young
Im a-Walkin'
in the rain
tears are fallin'
and I feel the pain
wishin' you were
here by me...
The big time!
to end this misery
I wonder
I wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
wonder
why...
Joann!
she ran away
and I wonder
where she will stay
my little runaway
my run, run, run,
run, runaway
Hi.
Hi.
Im a-Walkin'
in the rain
tears are fallin'
and I feel the pain
wishin' you were
here by me
to end this misery
I wonder
I wo-Wo-Wo-Wo
wonder
why
why, why, why,
why, why...
Can I help
you guys?
I wonder
Yeah. Tell tony
Eddie and the cruisers
are here.
she got a love
that'll get you down
people let me
put you wise
she goes
out with other guys
I got the moral
of the story
from a guy who knows
I fell in love but my love
still grows, now
ask any fool
that she ever knew
a-Keep away
from a-Runaround sue
keep away
away from
that girl, now
you know what
she'll do
a-Runaround sue
whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
hey, hey
keep away
from that girl, now
All right!
Yeah! All right.
Wendell, you're on
the keyboards on this one.
Hey, big bopper,
where you going?
You gotta listen
to my new song.
You're the one
who knows what goes.
Hey, sally, never
bullshit a bullshitter.
You make the music.
I make the deals.
Get some sleep.
Let's get on
with the music.
1, 2...
1, 2, 3, 4!
Betty Lou
got a new pair of shoes
Betty Lou

Betty Lou wah-Oo
wah-Oo wah-Oo
Betty Lou
got a new pair of shoes
well, she walked through
a shoe store
picked out a shoe
tried on a 12,
but that wouldn't do
Betty Lou, Betty Lou

Betty Lou got
a new pair of shoes
Betty Lou wah-Oo
wah-Oo wah-Oo
Betty Lou

Hold it!
Hold it!
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
Where you racing to?
Where's the fire?
No fire. That's the way
the song was written.
It goes that way...
Upbeat.
What's the problem?
The problem is
is Im just saying words.
You know, you gotta
give me a little room,
So people know
what Im singing about.
You lose the beat,
people miss a step.
We want 'em
to dance.
Lose a beat,
miss a step...
what are you,
a moron, Sal?
You believe this guy?
Look, Sal,
I like your stuff,
But it just ain't
what I was looking for.
