Gold Dust Woman

Ya Know for a chick who named her band after her late husband's head, Courtney Love did pretty okay for herself ... for a while. She was at the top of her game when this here Fleetwood Mac cover appeared on The Crow soundtrack.

Also did you know Courtney Love has an uncredited role in the Tim Robbins / John Cussack cult classic TapeHeads? She plays the hooker hitting by the senator with the ridding crop. Neat! Learn something new everyday. Also Weird Al is in the movie. And Ted Nugent. Possibly Kevin Bacon.

The Scientist

I'm pretty sure that when Chris Martin wrote The Scientist for his band Coldplay he wasn't thinking to himself, "Wow, this would be cool if Willie Nelson sang it ... and it was used to sell upscale free range Mexican food."

He might not have had that in mind but that's what happened. Actually what the hell is Chipolte's gimmick anyway? Is free range or organic or what? Pretentious? Delicious! Yeah that's it.

She Drives Me Crazy

I'm quickly becoming a big fan of the Onion's A.V. Undercover series. And not just because of the name "UnderCover." Here the Fine Young Cannibals are covered by Sharon Van Etten. Who turns the all but intelligible lyrics and synth pop of "She Drives Me Crazy" into a slow ballad, with semi-intelligible lyrics. It's simply fantastic.

Grenade

Let's see, hot girls in tight outfits doing an acapella cover of song originally with male vocals ... what more do you want? To bitch slap Nick Lachey? Yeah, well me too. But this season of The Sing Off is still young, and this here Bruno Mars cover by Delilah makes me with I could watch real TV and not just NetFlix. See them EMOTE!
