Thefirst version of the song was recorded in Hollywood in 1936 and performed as an instrumental by Barney Bigard and His Jazzopators.[1] Two takes were recorded, of which the first (Variety VA-515-1) was published. The band members were:

The musicians were members of the Duke Ellington Orchestra, which often split into smaller combinations to record songs under different band names. For this recording, which included Ellington and Tizol as performers, the session band leader was Bigard.


The sound of "Caravan" interested exotica musicians; Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and Gordon Jenkins all covered it. The Mills Brothers recorded an a cappella version of the song. More than 350 versions have been recorded.[2]

I am working on expanding my psychedelic rock playlist and looking for songs that match the vibe of Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath. If anyone knows any and sees that it is not in the playlist, please do let me know!


Hey karimdc, I discovered your playlist some months ago and I fell in love with its mood. To expand this amazing playlist I suggest you: "The christal ship" and "End of the night" by The Doors; "Blade Runner blues" and "Love theme" by Vangelis; "Peace", "Matte Kudasay" and "Moonchild" (onestly I prefer the live short version) by King Crimson.


Searching for the Caravan song, I can find original versions with no drum solo, some live versions with a solo, or the movie soundtrack's version with a solo as well. The version I linked with solo pre-dates the movie, but it also is not the same solo (as far as I can tell).


Now, back on track with the question. After the initial part of the music, the lights dim down, but Andrew (surprisingly) keeps playing and they turn back on. In the movie, is Andrew supposed to be improvising a solo, or is he covering another artist?


Either answer raises problems. If the music originally had the drum solo, why would the lights turn down? If not, how did Fletcher conduct parts of his solo, and how did the band know to do that final song blast right at the end?


The rest of the solo builds Andrew's independence from Fletcher's overpowering rule that he's had over the duration of the plot.

His "I'll cue you" is a sure sign he's taken control of his own destiny as far as this band and his part in it is concerned.


Once he's proven himself, he wins over Fletcher; who of course as band leader... and being Fletcher - insists he wants to regain control over. He demonstrates this with his conducting the rallentando [slow down] then accelerando [speed up] and finally the band comes back in for the triumphant last chord. We'll just suspend disbelief over how they knew exactly what to play; it's a movie, plot says that's what happens.


The whole structure of the solo out of universe, however, is clearly designed to be emotive in its content. Though it's a drum solo, it's really a character interplay almost without dialog. If it wasn't, a non-musical audience would be bored to tears after a couple of minutes of it.

As such, in my opinion, it succeeds in making a movie about music one of the few to be convincing even to a musician.

That it doesn't follow any existing solo is not surprising. Solos tend to be entirely improv, even if the overall feel or structure was pre-determined by the original player. They are rarely as plot-driven as this one though. It had to go through several emotional phases in the eye of the audience, not just entertain a concert-hall full of actual jazz fans.

I can't actually remember how they described it in the movie, whether it was fast swing, be-bop, or whatever - but it was Andrew's "Feel the Force, Luke" moment, the struggle to overcome, to learn how to 'use the Force', to win the approval of his mentor.


Golden, 30, was deported and sent back to Honduras. Not long after, he heard of another caravan leaving. He once again decided to make the journey north, away from the dangers and threats he and his family faced in Honduras.


One day in Honduras, during the month he spent there between his deportation and making the journey north with the 2018 caravan, Golden said he woke up inspired by what he and other migrants and activists had chanted as they made the journey.


He turned the chant into the chorus of a song about why Central Americans were fleeing from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The song asks why they were being treated so poorly in their own countries and in those where they sought refuge.


On the last weekend in April, as migrants rallied before marching to the San Ysidro Port of Entry to request asylum, the group chanted the chorus and danced and sang along to the song on the beach at Playas de Tijuana. With the border fence as a backdrop, the song played as migrants gave testimonies about their experiences and advocates demanded the U.S. government allow caravan members the right to seek asylum.


In September, some caravan members in Tijuana had a run-in with the police. Two people were beaten and detained. The incident spurred marches, vigils, forums and calls for an end to police abuse of migrants in the city.


George Harrison's 1971 song "Bangla Desh" was the first major charity single. It was part of a concert held to bring relief to the people of Bangladesh, who were fighting for independence and suffering from a famine.


On a road lit only by fire

Going where I want, instead of where I should

I peer out at the passing shadows

Carried through the night into the city

Where a young man has a chance of making good

A chance to break from the past

The caravan thunders onward

Stars winking through the canvas hood

On my way at last


The book looks at the early days of the Land Rights movement in Australia in the 1960s and 70s, when many of the older women travelled with anthropologists, naming places, singing songs and showing them which clan groups belonged to which areas, all from knowledge passed down through generations. It speaks of the racism they have experienced and the stereotyping that has happened over many years and expresses their wishes now for the need to come together with respect for knowledge, beliefs and values.


First off, I want to say to those who find the lyrics hard to make out: that is intentional. The nature of the vocals is meant to invoke the speech of aliens. The song is about a fleet of alien ships that travel through the universe, looking for others who are ready to do the same. The song explains that they have just discovered Earth, but they bypass it. Why? There a couple of hints as to why: first, the moonlight is describes as falling down like tears, invoking sorrow. The second and most important clue comes from the lines, "And so we pass on by the crimson eye - Of great god mars". Mars is described not as a planet but as a god, and if you know your Roman mythology, you will know that Mars was the god of war. Hence, humanity, which is still embroiled in war, is not yet ready to receive the amazing gift of advanced technology which would allow them to join the fleet of universal explorers, the planet caravan. The aliens are saddened by this, because of the distance they've traveled, only to find a species not yet evolved enough to join them. It is a sad, chilling and beautiful anti-war song.


Since I view Paranoid as a concept album, this is a bit different from other views. War Pigs sets the scene of war and corruption, Paranoid is a descent into madness of a soldier, and I think this is a sort of cosmic journey after death.


COLA might be right War Pigs is about the generals/presidents who are responsible of wars, Paranoid is about a guy whos lost his feelings(it could be about a soldier who expirienced war and ends up killing himself or got killed in war), in Planet Caravan the guy/soldier was expiriencing life after death, Iron Man(if Paranoid was about a soldier) is about a warrior/soldier who ends up bieng a statue as honor for hes duties and for years the statue was bieng ignored so the staue/soldier came to life and kill the people he once saved.its just a maybe conclusion i made up after reading COLA's post

Al HoffmanPerformersCaterpillarVideoSourceDream Caravan is a deleted song from Disney's 1951 animated feature film, Alice in Wonderland, which it was planned and originally intended to have been sung by the Caterpillar, but it was ultimately replaced by "AEIOU" in the final film. It was recorded on July 23, 1948.


Love the one where.Popeye lives in the garbage can! Thats the version I grew up with.All the children at school sang it. I never got to know how the song ended after the carbage can part till now. I find it very funny and yuck. Jaaajaaa.


Popeye the Sailor Man, he lived in a garbage can

He was strong to the fin-ich, cause he ate a steady diet of spinach.

He was Popeye the Sailor Man.



This was likely the lyrics many of my classmates at school sang the song "Popeye the Sailor Man". They would sing it in the playing field during recess.








It's crazy how one specific child a long time ago came up with the "...live in a garbage can" version, and from there on other children repeated it, and spread it all around the continent over generations and generations and now millions of people know it. I wonder who that one child was and when they made it up. We'll never know.
