If Its Sunday...Somebody Must Be Doing A Version Of Somebody Else's Song...(Sunday Under Covers)

Artist:

Track:
Some bands/artists are easy to cover....their songs, for whatever reason, lend themselves to various interpretations with ease. (even if some of the interpretations are.......... .......clueless.)
............And i have gone on record on more than one occasion 'round here....i hold most "Tribute cd's" in great disdain. The mix of has-beens, wanna-be's, token "stars", and hacks has been done to death and damn few of them are worth owning. (I own a million of 'em, so I should know).
........Ah...but occasionaly a cover comes along that opens up a song for us that had been previoulsy inaccessible... ......and sometimes a cover is just barely a cover.....

A good song is a good song is a good song. Except in every karaoke bar in America.
I could do without the first one, but the others, I agree. Dolly put more feeling into it than Mary did.
"A good song is a good song is a good song."
I have said the same myriad times
"Except in every karaoke bar in America."
.......never thought of it...but its such a profound truth
@Dave...Yes Joe Cocker
Rex....more feeling & a better, less shmaltzy. Or...at least...more organic....(Accoustic shmaltz?)
If anyone makes it this far....there is something else going on of late...... ....(Jimn's Big Ego)
Re: Jim's Big Ego...right up there with Wm Shatner covers....
wow.....Jim's Big Ego covering a song my friend Danni sang with a killer band at a party last night. what a find!
oh, right. she was already doing a cover. i forgot. SUTC squared.
maybe this video will reinforce your beliefs Madeline. do not bother watching it unless you're home with a hangover, it's snowing out, or something else is glueing you to your computer.
glueing or gluing? probably more fun looking that up.
Dolly does put a lot of sincere-sounding emotion into it. I like it! You're right about tribute albums.
Hey folks. Say hello. Greet
Well, I like that version of Feelin Groovy by Jim's Big Ego! I thought the Jane Morgan cover of Sounds of Silence was atrocious.
I'd like to hear more from Jim's Big Ego....
Your slightest wish.. ..... . .1) Punk Junkies From New York
.2) Big Whoop
.3) Jumblies
Thanks Jeff, those were perfect pick me ups for the mid-work slump!
These guys are fun! They remind me somewhat of They Might Be Giants - or cross TMBG with the band Cake and it's close.
Jumblies I plan to come back and listen more closely to later (a coworker or 2 have walked by and seen me with my ear practically on the speaker--later I can turn it up more). I'm feeling a bit sorry for those Jumblies I think.....but hey they might be smug. I'll be back!
