An infobox was requested for the Blue Cheer version of "Summertime Blues" at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/List_of_notable_songs/12. —Preceding unsigned comment added by InnocuousPseudonym ( talk • contribs) 19:09, August 24, 2007 (UTC)
The Who recorded this song at least 2 times in 1967 before the Blue Cheer version was released in 1968. Member(s) of Blue Cheer modeled their version on the Who's performance at the Monterey Pop Festival. This is clearly backed up by recordings in the Monterey Pop Festival 4 CD box set and the remastered CD of Odds & Sods. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.229.24.95 ( talk) 03:28, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
In the versions by the Who and by Blue Cheer, I did not hear the other lyrics.
"I called up my congressman, he said quote."
There was no "I'd like to help you son, but you're too young to vote.", just an instrumental part.
No, that lyric is definitely in The Who version, have you got the Live At Leeds version?
oh, and what is the criteria for having a larger explanation of the cover version? I'd like to see an elaboration on The Flaming Lips version --

The Beach Boys also covered this song in 1962 on their first album, "Surfin' Safari" with David Marks on lead vocals.

I think it would be worth a section on the story and the themes - teenage America in the 50's, and the resentment of male/paternal authority, as represented in the deep-bass passages. (Do we know who the artist was?) Valetude ( talk) 17:21, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Spouting the myth that Blue cheer were heavy metal. Heavy metal was only defined as such in the 70's by rolling stones reviewer. It's proto-metal. But they are just psy/hard/prog rock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.121.145 ( talk) 17:16, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
The weird sound of Eddie's dad doing the spoilsport talk is a big part of this record. By rights, I would have thought he'd have had a credit. Any idea who he was? Valetude ( talk) 15:43, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

There are apparently two versions of the original Eddie Cochran 45 on Liberty...one has a reverb effect augmenting the spoken lines in the song, and the other omits the reverb effect on the spoken lines. I have copies of both versions and the difference is very noticeable. More info is needed on how this oddity happened. 75.133.31.68 ( talk) 00:39, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
