Music Video of the Day: I’m Free by The Soup Dragons (1990, directed by Matthew Amos)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

I’m Free was originally recorded by The Rolling Stones in 1965 and was the last track on the Out Of Our Heads album.  To quote Rolling Stone Magazine, the original song was a “folk rocker.”  The version by the Soup Dragons was much more psychedelic and featured a verse from Jamaican reggae performer, Junior Reid.  I’m Free became the band’s biggest hit, reaching the number 2 spot on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart.

Director Matthew Amos has also directed videos for Stereo MCs, Jesus Jones, Slipknot, and Blur.  He’s also film several awards shows and stage productions for the BBC.

After a difficult two weeks, I think I’m ready to come back.  And what better way to return than with Paris Hilton, who is someone who I always try to defend as being more self-aware than she lets on, even though I kind of doubt that’s actually the case.

The video itself is exactly what you would probably expect from a Paris Hilton video.  I’ll leave it to you to decide whether or not that’s a good thing.

Well, I’ve got some work to do around here, don’t I?  Thank you everyone for your patience!  And thank you, Case, Leonard, and Jeff, for holding down the fort while Erin and I were gone.  Peace and love to us all.

Enjoy!

Today’s music video of the day is for the song I’m Free, which was covered by the Scottish group, The Soup Dragons, in 1990.

That’s right, this is a cover.  I’m Free was originally recorded by The Rolling Stones in 1965 and was the last track on the Out Of Our Heads album.  To quote Rolling Stone Magazine, the original song was a “folk rocker.”  The version by the Soup Dragons was much more psychedelic and featured a verse from Jamaican reggae performer, Junior Reid.  I’m Free became the band’s biggest hit, reaching the number 2 spot on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart.  You may have also heard it in the film, The World’s End.

As for the Soup Dragons, after ten years and five albums, they disbanded in 1995, though all of the members continue to make music to this day.
