Ralphie ★ Posted January 3 Share #1 Posted January 3 I never knew this song was a cover. I am used to hearing it by Cage the Elephant. Cool song! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Wide_World_(song) https://www.wrecklesseric.com/ 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted January 3 Share #3 Posted January 3 Yep, I had a Wreckless Eric album and an Ian Drury album around the same time. I liked the sound at the time. Nick Lowe led the charts at the time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be happy because lots of people know it. And apparently Wreckless Eric is sort of like John Cougar, a name dreamed up by marketing people. In his case to try to compensate for a mild mannered demeanor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted January 4 Share #6 Posted January 4 Nice. The only Cage the Elephant album that I own is Melophobia. I may have to expand my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhil Posted January 4 Share #9 Posted January 4 Wreckless Eric’s wife (Mrs. Wreckless Eric?) is musician Amy Rigby, who writes some great stuff. She was playing Whole Wide World in her shows when they first met. They sound good together on this tune. You can never have too much farfisa organ.
