Yoo Doo Right


"Yoo Doo Right" is the closing track on Can's 1969 debut album, Monster Movie, edited down from a six-hour improvisation to a twenty-minute song. "Yoo Doo Right" features a pounding, tribal drums, along with a "colossal, grinding riff, subjected to endless variation and intensification", while Malcolm Mooney chants excerpts from a love letter in a mantra-like manner.

Legacy

Can continued to play the song after Mooney's departure, as heard on Can [Live Music |Can Live Music]. It has been covered in abbreviated form by the Geraldine Fibbers, Thin [White Rope], Masaki Batoh, Susheela Raman, Jonathan Segel, The Wendys, and others. In 2001, shortly after the death of Can guitarist Michael Karoli, a group of musicians associated with Austrian composer Karlheinz Essl performed this song in several hour-long concerts in his memory.
The song was remixed by 3p for the double remix compilation Sacrilege in 1997, reduced to a three-minute, verse-chorus-bridge pop piece.
"Movin' on Up" by Primal Scream quotes the lyric "I was blind, now I can see, you made a believer outta me" from "Yoo Doo Right".
