Sometimes the remake is better than the original.
Hell, we’re better than all of the podcasts we regularly steal from. (This is not true (probably)).
But when it comes to music, there are great musicians and there are great songs. Sometimes great musicians are known for songs that they didn’t write, but for music that they fundamentally made their own. Whether that is through style, vocal quality, tone, or a thousand other factors – but seriously, who doesn’t love a well put together cover song.
So we got a couple of folks who know a little SomethingSomething about music and asked them to join us this week.
First is a guy that you have heard a thousand times, yet never got a chance to listen to – the man who wrote the Something Theme – CS Swampfox!
Second is two of our friends from NJ and #PodernFamily – it’s Rick & Sara from AwesomeTalk.TV – aka Ice & The Face (and Life With Lyme)!
**And if you dig this week’s end song – be sure to click on The World Is Not Enough**
So whether it’s a new wave hit, a heavy metal remake, or a dirge made dirgier… ok, here we go!
ROB! You make me sad.
How in the name of all that is holy could you fail to mention the greatest cover of all time?
Oh, sure, we’d all expect this level of ineptitude from Hatton; we’re used to it. But YOU?!
“Last Train to Clarksville”. Goatmen. ‘Nuff said.
I know, I know. Look, I was trying to stay “serious” with my picks, and while it’s a hilarious song, it wouldn’t have bumped out any of my choices. I should have put it in my “honorable mentions” however, since I did mention Dread Zepplin in them.
