Jeff Beck - Peter Gunn Lyrics






Every night your line is busy,
All that buzzin' makes me dizzy.
Couldn't count on all my fingers
All the dates you had with swingers.

Bye-bye.
Bye, baby.
I'm gonna kiss you goodbye
And walk right through that doorway.

So long.
I'm leaving.
This is the last time we'll meet
On the street going your way.

Don't look surprised
You know you've buttered your bread.
Now it's fair
You should stare

At the back of my head.
If you write a letter to me,
My former friend
Don't you end

With an R.S.V.P.

  1. M.... C....

    If you don't look at any other part of this video, look at the slide trombone from 2:48 to 3:40 !!

  2. M.... C....

    The drummer is ready: you can see it in his eyes ...

  3. j.... 3....

    Jeff Beck Great Stuff !!!

  4. K.... P....

    Very good rendition.

  5. L.... A....

    Ooooor Man , it do not get much better than this.

  6. s.... b....

    if you listen to music at all, it don't get any better than this . this is from the days when the real stuff was played. real people playing real instrerments. if you are hearing this then you are in the glorious minority. do the world a favor and stay where you are.

  7. s.... ....

    Terrific cover.

  8. t.... ....

    Trombonist slicing, dicing, and spreading the icing.

  9. A.... O....

    I love the version by ELP... for me its the best

  10. G.... G....

    The drummer rocks.

  11. D.... D....

    Phénoménal JEFF BECK
    l'un des plus grands guitaristes de la deuxième moitié du XX siècle

  12. J.... H....

    Jeff's dressed like one of the Blue Caps from Gene Vincent's group

  13. D.... D....

    Trombone man is kicking serious ass with that solo.

  14. D.... H....

    Phil Collins on the drums and Dr. Johnny Fever on the bari!

    D.... H....

    I think that is Lou Marini on the baritone sax from the Blue Brothers...don't know who the drummer is but I don't think it's Phil Collins.

  15. t.... P....

    HENRY MANCINI I JUST WATCHED A BASSOON ???? WAS PLAY RIFT NOW HERE AN ELECTRIC GUITAR HOW MANY LEARNERS ON ELECTRIC HAVE PLAYED THIS RIFF OVER AND OVER WONDER FULL RIFF

  16. v.... ....

    Audio and Video out of sync?

  17. A.... L....

    I've always thought that this piece was played too timidly so this is closer to an arrangement I'd enjoy playing on drums.

  18. J.... B....

    I played Trombone in school and never ascended about the level of crappy. The guy playing the trombone in this piece is off the hook good! Wow! That is what I aspired to be back in a day and never came remotely close.

  19. d.... ....

    not bad, not bad at all

  20. P.... T....

    Is that drummer earning his wage or not? My goodness!!

    P.... T....

    Phil Collins

    P.... T....

    @Jeff Slade no not Phil collins

  21. M.... M....

    A Shot in The Dark

  22. F.... F....

    Hot as hell

  23. C.... K....

    Check this out. The music

  24. J.... C....

    Thank you Henry Mancini

  25. F.... A....

    The great guitarist Jeff Beck performs with great emphasis the great success of Henry Mancini, borrowing the more rock version of Duane Eddy. Cordial greetings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMxggigGtPk *PETER GUNN* Twangy Guitar cover by *Duane Eddy*

  27. T.... B....

    EXCELLENCE ! I've always loved JB since the 70's. GOOD FREAKING JOB !

  28. L.... G....

    that was great!

  29. R.... D....

    How effing good was that? Dude with the sax rocked that house but good, and no worries. Then Mr. TromboneBazooka kills it. The whole band beat, bitch-slapped, and flat out throttled that sucker for all it was worth, and then some, and proceeded to burn the whole house to to the ground, just because they could.

    Amazing performance. Sometimes it's so good you never want it to end, and for me that was one of those times. I know it was 2011, but you just know Beck is still full of surprises. Too good!

  30. J.... W....

    Wait, Jon Lovitz blows tenor sax? What? What's that you say? Leo Green? Never mind.

  31. R.... I....

    Bad ass...knock it down boys

  32. F.... P....

    Metade é da banda da Imelda May... Guitarra, baixo (atrás), trompete e bateria.... show!!!

  33. J.... L....

    Even Jimi Hendrix and ELP covered this magnificent Henry Mancini tune (talk about a guy who should be in the R&R Hall of Fame as an influence) -- but on this night, Jeff Beck and his band owned it. A superb ensemble piece, the way it was meant to be played. Sax player just kills it and then not stopping there the marvelous trombone player sends it into the stratosphere.


    The Big Band/Swing musicians in Heaven are giving you a standing ovation guys.

  34. r.... ....

    Man that sounds good

  35. D.... T....

    That's a sick version. The motherfucker on trombone should get a goddamn prize for that nasty solo.

  36. K.... C....

    Good solos considering! Poor guys had only one chord to play over. And over. And over.

  37. T.... O....

    Solid ! Slide trombone is WAY out of sight!!!!

  38. O.... ....

    You crank heads need to lay off the thumbs down !

  39. C.... B....

    This is the same Jeff Beck from "The Yardbirds" fame?? Love the look on Jeff's face while watching that AMAZING trombone player!
    And here's another great rendition of this song by the Blues Brothers:---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBYETv92fkU

  40. R.... T....

    Man this is RED HOT! Keep on "Rockin' " boys!

  41. T.... S....

    Who are these guys , wow get it on son rock,man, sorry kinda speechless daddy

  42. B.... N....

  43. O.... ....

  44. C.... G....

    Trombone Shorty?

  45. n.... b....

    ¡GENIOOOOOOOOOOS!....UDS. SON IMPAGABLES, NUNCA VISTO UN PETER GUNN ASÍ!!

  49. M.... ....

  50. M.... W....

  57. w.... ....

    Henri Mancini was badass

  58. H.... H....

    That's Beck for you. Always copying.
    Give me Ritchie every day of the year.

  59. a.... t....

    Great cover, only better ive heard was from a local Detroit guy,"Ralph Koziarski" years ago, who played two saxophones at same time....but since I love Detroit Talent I might be biased :)

  60. M.... F....

    The bass player and other guitarist in the back are from Imelda May's band.

  61. S.... K....

    musta been cold, jeff got sleeves

  62. r.... v....

    A Great,Great , JAM!! FANTASTIC!!

  63. C.... D....

    Wow!! What is this from?? It COOKS!!!!

    C.... D....

    It's from....."Jeff Beck Rock'n'Roll Party: Honoring Les Paul".....you can get the DVD or Blu-ray at Amazon. There is also a  "Rock 'N' Roll Party: Honoring Les Paul [Live]" CD on Amazon to purchase if you are interested.

    C.... D....

    @David Morrison The whole album is great. Jeff and Imelda do some Les Paul/Mary Ford numbers just like they did them and the results are just awesome. Imelda's band is really good too.

    C.... D....

    @Jeff Gaumond I completely agree....another great album by Jeff Beck is called Emotion & Commotion but get the Japanese import CD version it has a bonus track on it called Poor Boy, sung by Imelda May that is fantastic and it is not on the regular domestic Emotion & Commotion CD.

  64. S.... K....

    Is that Trombone Shorty on that nasty trombone? Love it !!!!!!!

  65. m.... ....

    Leo green on tenor one of the most underrated players around

  66. J.... M....

    Wish my husband, Peter, was awake to appreciate. Epic.

  88. m.... ....

    That sounded so good! The horn section was great and Jeff Beck is one of my favorites.

  89. P.... J....

    Love the way he stood back and let the horns blow....brilliant!

    P.... J....

    Peter Jeffery
    Beck was one of the best live performers of the time, what he did without a pick made him a real pioneer in R&R.

    P.... J....

    @WARMONGER So true and he is a pioneer...and a hell of a auto mechanic!. His Blue Wind album with Jan Hammer was amazing. All that zingy high energy other worldly music from another sphere...but what KILLS on that album is his soulful, mournful, raging version of Mingus's "Goodbye Porkpie Hat". I can't think of another piece of music that moves me like that one does. It's rock it's jazz it's soul and something completely new and different all at once.

    P.... J....

    Peter Jeffery
    No doubt, if anyone has a doubt about how great he is, just listen to what the other greats of that era have to say about Beck.
    Clapton, Page, Richards don’t have a negative word to say about him or his playing. When Richie Blackmore says he never gets more frustrated than trying to play the way Jeff does should tell anyone all you need to know.

    P.... J....

    @WARMONGER What gets me about Beck is his absolute virtuosity. He can switch from speed of light frenetic picking (weep Richie weep) to soft and spare with long nuanced single string tones that don't need any embellishment. Matchless technique aside, Beck knows when to let the guitar whisper and the song play through. I've never heard better.

    P.... J....

    Peter Jeffery
    Yes sir, he knows the value of the empty space between the notes.

  90. s.... ....

    The drummer is Steve Rushton!

    s.... ....

    steve 'the power' rushton now i think!!

    s.... ....

    Um, I doubt that. Not only does Rushton have a head full of hair, he's one hell of a lot thinner.

  91. C.... D....

    That drummer's really into it!!

    C.... D....

    The tv show Pete Gun got me here SOOOOO GOOOOD Justin beeeber who ? lolo LMBO

  92. B.... K....

    Excellent 👌🏽🔝💯❤

  93. I.... c....

    It's Peter Gunn theme, not Peter Gunn's theme, dumbass!

  94. G.... P....

    There´s no version like Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

  95. P.... B....

    Great stuff but who is the drummer?

    P.... B....

    Paul Blakey drummer bass and the rhythm guitar player are with Imelda May. Very tight group

    P.... B....

    Hello Brian Buday Thank you very much for that information, much appreciated.

  96. w.... j....

    the song is actually driven by the bass. Listen to Mancini 's original. By the way, won the very first Grammy for best album, "music from Peter Gunn". 1957.....simplicity is very cool :) the drums , in the original are almost non-existent.

  97. c.... t....

    Who is that gangster playin' the drums?

    c.... t....

    Rocco Gandolfini ;)

    c.... t....

    @Joe Zinobile spoken like a paisan :-)

    c.... t....

    chip tmcc he's great 😎

  98. K.... K....

    The drummer seems to be the leader of the band.
