Tonight’s featured artists had an unlikely hit that first recorded with one brother making fun of another speech problem and because they didn’t think it was going to make the album recorded with the instruments out of tune.  Can you guess the so, so, song or the ba, ba, ba band?

So who was the mean brother?  That would be Randy Bachman, who didn't intend to release this song with the stuttering vocal. He sang it with the stutter to make fun his brother, Gary, who had a speech impediment. During microphone checks, he would sing it with the stutter and recorded a version that was intended just for Gary. His record company liked it a lot better than the non-stuttering version, so that's the one they released. Eventually, Gary stopped stuttering. Also, since they didn't think the song as they were recording it would ever be released, thinking it was just a rough track to get the studio sound right the band didn't tune their instruments. It was released while they were on tour and later had to be re-mastered to hide the fact that the instruments were not in tune.

And now from the time when satin pants were cool...
