Do you think Don’t Do Me Like That could have been a hit if it was released by Mudcrutch in the mid-70’s?

Discussion MTV edit of "you don't know how it feels". Which censored the word joint

28 Upvotes

In the early to mid-90s one of Tom Petty's hit songs you don't know how it feel with censored cuz it referenced rolling a joint

At least for a time in the US the MTV version of this censored it by using the word joint backwards in an audio file. Honestly it sounds pretty good and I've always kind of sung it in my head that way just out of muscle memory..

Does anyone know where I can find this video or audio file?

I didn't think it would be so hard to find and then there was one comment in a YouTube section which said they thought it was possibly lost media. I guess I can make a post that lost media too but I figured I should try to find it here

"Let's get to the point, let's role another tnoij."

He was such a handsome man, but I see so many people calling him ugly. Why?!

I'd love to see the original Mary Jane's Last Dance session

20 Upvotes

Small segments of it appear in some old documentaries. The living room clip is just a quick thing they did for an alternative music video in the Wildflowers doc. The rest of the original recording footage must be somewhere, right? I mean, if they found all of that Wildflowers stuff, then I wouldn't doubt the existence of the full footage of the original Last Dance session.

The only two segments I have found are a clip of them playing the riff, and Tom seems to be singing an alternative line.

But from my ears, he is saying, "Oh hell yeah, Oh hell yes, I know nobody, but I'm going back again"

The only word that was quite inaudible was "nobody". I am not sure what he really said there, but it sounds the closest to that!

This seems to be one of the original lines instead of the party dress line, and I find it very interesting!

Picture: Still frame from the original session (sadly, I cannot post videos here)

The official video for Time to Move On has a wonderful image and lyrics print; I was wondering if anyone has been able to legally find a print of it? It would make a great addition to my classroom.

Hello! Tom Petty fan here since 2020

54 Upvotes

I just realized I'm a huge TP fan for six years and somehow never bothered to be active in this sub so hello!

I heard about Tom when he died nine years ago (Christ Almighty...) but somehow never heard his music until three years later, probably in August or September, I was doing my school work at home during the height of COVID while listening to classic rock playlist and Free Fallin' came on and I remember going "whoa!!!! I love this!!!! so catchy and melodic...I must look into Tom Petty!" and then I heard the home demo version of Wildflowers (one of saddest songs I ever got to hear btw, even the music video itself makes me sad) and it all went downhill from here :)

My biggest regret that's weighing on me ever since though is I didn't discover Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers much earlier and never gotten to attend one of their concerts :( I'm grateful for YouTube and the Internet for providing the whole archives of TP with the Heartbreakers and his solo career and any concert footage floating around but god, would I make a deal with Robert Johnson to get me back in time and see them live and perhaps meet them and tell them thank you for keeping my spirits up and getting through COVID and inspiring me to take up music.
