Skinnyman Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I’m referring, of course, to “Everbody Walk The Dinosaur” by Was (not Was). My young niece is obsessed with this song and I’m desperate to find the bass part so I can do a FB video for her. I’ve only had chance for a brief search of the usual places but I can’t find a tab or the music for this track. I know I’m being lazy and will keep on looking but if anyone has it or could point me to it, I’d be very grateful. Thanks in anticipation 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Love this track, great to play along to. Fairly straightforward to work out, slap it in D if nobody responds with a tab I’ll do one for you at the wochenende 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was just gigging it then I’d be happy to work something out for myself but Young Anna will know instantly if I deviate from the recorded version so I need to be as close as possible!

Maybe best I don’t do it then! I’m pretty sure I’m playing it right but wouldn’t bet my life on it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford13 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I’m guessing it’s the version from the movie ice age 3 she likes, and not the original? My son loves that song too but the original version has some interesting lyrics for young kids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is my sister primed her on a Skype call with “ask uncle Skinny if he can play it”. But she didn’t say what version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineweasel Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Great song. My band has jammed this a few times - half of us are keen to do it but haven’t persuaded the others yet. The bass part is in drop D and played by Marcus Miller originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always assumed that Don Was played it. He's very definitely no slouch on the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them live around the time this was a hit, and Don was on bass. He didn’t slap though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Correct me if I'm wrong (happened once before), but isn't the pronunciation of the man's name "Wazz" rather than "Woz", hence the name of the band??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Was is Don Fagenson, David Was is David Weiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
