abstract
  • Ringo Starr's cover of Hoyt Axton's and David Jackson's %22The No No Song%22 was included on his 1974 album Goodnight Vienna. The song was released in the US on 27 January 1975, backed with %22Snookeroo%22. It was a #1 hit in Canada and a #3 hit in the US. It describes progressive attempts to sell Colombian marijuana, Spanish cocaine, and Tennessean moonshine to a recovered addict who refuses it all. Harry Nilsson provides backing vocals.Covers and in popular cultureBrazilian rock musician Raul Seixas recorded a Brazilian Portuguese version called %22Não Quero Mais Andar na Contra-mão%22 (%22Don't Want to Ride on the Wrong Way Anymore%22) adapting the drugs mentioned in the lyrics to the Brazilian culture (respectively, Colombian marijuana, Bolivian cocaine, and Argentinian chloroethane spray). Seixas also released an album (and hit single) called O Dia em que a Terra Parou (%22The Day the Earth Stood Still%22) The song itself was not related to the movie of the same name; rather, it is likely a reference to the album Goodnight Vienna, the cover of which reproduces an iconic scene from the film, with Ringo Starr replacing Michael Rennie as the alien Klaatu standing alongside the robot Gort.Joe Dassin's %22Moi j'ai dit non%22 was a French adaptation of %22The No No Song%22.Some reissues and later pressings of the Ringo Starr version credit the song as %22No No Song/Skokiaan%22. This is presumably due to a copyright claim by the publishers of the latter song, although details are lacking.
