But why didn't Joe shoot the guy he caught her with? Besides, OJ's lawyer would have got him off.  :rolleyes:

 Wait , Hendrix recorded it also ? Next you're gonna be telling us he didn't write All Along the Watchtower  :laugh:

 I had heard the original version probably 40 years ago , a friend was into finding the original versions of famous songs . The Beatles didn't write Twist and Shout , and Houndog didn't originate with Elvis .

Good to know, I thought it was a Hendrix original. He did stay true to the original, so that's artist-to-artist respect.

Or ask himself why she preferred the other bloke ?
You don’t like me..?
That’s ok, I’ll shoot you. (Now there’s a mindset unlikely to take hold.. :rolleyes:)

The Top Notes, but they didn't write it. Phil somebody and Burt Burns wrote it, 1960ish. But the Isleys did bring it out to a big audience including some lads from Liverpool.

"Hey Joe" was also covered, in a good rendition, by Deep Purple on one of their early albums.
