Kaleef's earlier post about the late great Beta Band put a specific song in my head.http://mog.com/kaleef/blog_post/49410And then as I scoured my digital library I realized I have like 3 other versions of the same song...making it the most covered in my collection. Filter, Aimee Mann, and a local Columbus band called Earwig are the other bands that cover 'One'The Beatles 'In My Life' was a close second with three....and I have several with two...anyone have a ridiculous number of takes on any one song?But I digress...this is far and away my favorite cover of this song anyway...they totally 'beta-ize' it!

kaleef says hey that's me.... you are definitely not alone. i have at least 3 versions of wonderwall. this is not so accidental as i believe wonderwall to be a great song. or as ryan adams would say "...a pretty good fucking song" i posted cat power's (my favorite version) a lil while ago.

kaleef says i can't believe i never heard Pavements version. seriously, i am a bit disappointed in myself, seeing as though i label myself as a lover of all things stephen malkmus. also, i have no idea why... but, my upload for you turned into a chipmunks version of wonderwall. so now you have that one too, never been heard before. ever hear radioheads version? (but it's basically a joke on the gallagher bros)

fairportfan says I have three or four versions of *John Barleycorn Must Die* (maybe i should rephrase that - i have recordings by three or four bands of *John Barleycorn Must Die*; i probably have five just by Fairport... Huh. Only three bands, and only four by Fairport. (Anyone want to take a stab at guessing the other two bands?)
