Oh Bonita

[Orient]

is this only on the japanese version?

[manicwildheart]

Yes, only the Japanese version has this. The other track is called So The Spencers Poke Out.
I'm guessing they'll appear as B sides soon.

[Orient]

thanks, just with everyone talking about Bonita I was looking at my album thinking "why am I not seeing this song??" lol...thought it might have been a hidden track.

[manicwildheart]

I think it's a shame it ain't on the UK version, it's a much stronger track than say, She's All That. Could've been a single too.

[Sarc]

Just been listening to it the last few minutes and it sounds bit familiar, does anyone else get the feeling that this song, even though it wasnt written by him or have play on it, has a very Conny Bloom feel to it?

I really dont know why but it sounds a bit like Star, anyone who has the bonus disc from Black Leather mojo have a listen to both of them and see what you think.

[manicwildheart]

Star didn't come to mind, but maybe you have a point.

To me it sounds like the Kinks main riff in You Really Got Me, Deaf Forever by Motorhead, My Sharona by the Knack, and a few bits of Elvis Costello peppered about.

I can see where you're coming from with the Kinks, its the same progression just different rythmn and keyalso with the Elvis Costello but i can't see My Sharona in there at all and thats one of my favourite songs to

[manicwildheart]

The bit that reminds me of My Sharona is the "ah-ah-ah-ah Bonita" hook. I know it ain't the same - just reminds me.

Oh, and it sounds a bit like SG5's Take It All Why Don'tcha riff.

And another million songs no doubt.

[Soundog]

No doubt indeed. Maybe it came from playing with the first part of the Rooting riff, or the other way round, there's no small resemblence there either. The recurring Oh Bonita in the verse made me think of My Sharona instantly as well, btw.

[geordierussell]

I haven't heard Bonita yet even though I have the Jap CD. I just don't want to spoil the lovely packaging. If anyone could help me out.....

[findaway]

It's a real shame that Oh Bonita isn't included on the UK version of the album because for my money it's one of the best songs from their new stuff

Main riff sounds to me like Tired of Waiting by Little Angels (I know they didn't do it first but I forget who did) Also whoever mentioned Star By Conny Bloom is dead right. Didn't twig it until it was mentioned.
