I suppose this isn’t technically a Christmas song, but it appeared in Christmas Vacation, so close enough.

Until they covered Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal in 2001, no one had heard of Alien Ant Farm. But thanks to a video that was equal parts loving tribute and scathing parody of the gloved one, for a brief moment they were totally unstoppable. Then without warning they disappeared. I somehow blame 9/11. Gone but not forgotten, at Jackson’s funeral last year they were asked to “please move out of the way, we’re trying to get through.”

Mandy [Barry Manilow / Scott English] DEEP COVER


From the vault … March 3, 2011


It’s been a while since I’ve gone all DEEP COVER on you, so let’s do it now shall we?


For those of you who failed to take notes last time, a Deep Cover is a cover song that has eclipsed the original version of the song in famousness. Is that a word? Famousness? Anyway often times in the case of a Deep Cover the original version is practically forgotten about.


That’s certainly the case of the Scott English song “Brandy.” Never heard of it right? The original Scott English cover was an upbeat bubble gum pop tune, the cover was a sad somber song which Clive Davis suggested a small lyrical change too. And the rest as they say is musical history.


Oh, yeah I almost forgot, that small lyrical change, Brandy became Mandy, and Barry Manilow had his first hit single. The true test between a Cover Lover and just someone who just is mildly interested in covers is their knowledge, or lack there of that bit of trivia.


Also worth noting before becoming a singer, Barry Manilow did jingles. He wrote the “I’m Stuck On Band Aid” and “Like a Good Neighbor” jingle and did the vocals for Mickey D’s “You deserve a Break Today” campaign. Yeah,


I fucking love Barry Manilow. My guilty pleasure.

Tainted Love [Soft Cell / Gloria Jones] DEEP COVER


From the Vault … April 10, 2011


Yes, Tainted Love is a very DEEP COVER. Best known as the signature song of Soft Cell in the 1980’s, it was originally recorded by Motown singer Gloria Jones in 1964 and failed to chart in the both the US and UK. Listening to the original it sounds more akin to “I Will Survive” than the Soft Cell version of the same song. Even the trademark “BUM BUM” is barely noticeable.

Don’t Cha [Pussycat Dolls / Tori Alamaze] DEEP COVER


Never heard the original of “Don’t Cha?” Don’t worry no one else did either. Former Outkast backup singer Tori Alamaze recorded the song in in 2004 and then was promptly dropped by the label. A brief attempt was made to talk Paris Hilton into recording the song, before the Pussycat Dolls got their hands on it. It sounds basically the same as the original but sluttier and Busta Rhymesier.

Here he is covering Talio Cruz’s “Dynamite.” Listen to it, it’s that one annoying song you hear all the time but have no idea what it’s called, except not so annoying when Steve Acho sings it.

Psycho Killer [Moxy Fruvous / Talking Head]


From The Vault … August 19, 2011


The band Moxy Fruvous has been called the biggest independent band to come out of Canada since the Barenaked Ladies. That’s one of those things people say to sound impressive but no one actually knows what it means.


The band has also set back American geography by decades by preforming a song called “The Lowest Highest Point” which identifies Delaware as the state with the lowest highest point. As we all know, the state with the actual lowest highest point is Florida. Delaware has the lowest median elevation. This is why the United States can’t compete with China people! Canadians sabotaging our educational system.


So from the same live album as the “Lowest Highest Point,” here’s a Talking Heads cover.

There are a few things I’d like to avoid in my life. One of them is pissing off Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor. Apparently this cover, did exactly that though. At least he thought better about starting an actual feud with Devo because that feud would have been more bizarre than that one Marshall Mathers had with a puppet.

I caught this little gem today via his FaceBook post. “My Brightest Diamond played live at WOXY in 2007 and did a cover of Prince’s “The Beautiful Ones” that damn near made me cry in the studio. We were never legally allowed to post it for download. Grab it before Prince’s legal team takes down [the] site!”

If the name Bronson Arroyo sounds only vaguely familiar to you, might I take a moment to remind you that he’s a MLB pitcher, He’s starting this year with the Diamondbacks, after a lengthy stay with the Reds. This cover however comes from his days playing in Boston. You might remember him from being the set up man in Curt Shilling’s bloody sock game, or A-Rod slapping his glove to avoid being tagged out.


Anyway if an MLB player being a rocker sounds like a plot point in a Stephen King movie you’re in luck. Stephen King for some unknown reason has some guest vocals on this track.

Land of 1,00 Dances [The Wrestlers / Wilson Pickett] CRAPPY COVER


From the vault … Feb. 23, 2011


For every good cover, there are 100 that suck, or in today’s case 1000. I feel it’s by job … nay my duty to bring you some of these CRAPPY COVERs from time to time because in the words of the great American philosophers Beavis and Butthead, “If it didn’t have a part that sucked, then it’s like, the other part wouldn’t be as cool.” So in what can only be described as a true taste of 1985, here’s the Wrestlers of the WWF (now WWE) covering Wilson Pickett’s Land of 1000 Dances. Mr. Pickett is no doubt spinning in his grave. I don’t even know for sure that he’s dead, but I stand by my statement either way.


Sadly Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant weren’t involved in this song. It’s actually kind of surprising in a few ways …


1) The Mouth of The South, Jimmy Hart can actually sing.


2) I can name all but one of the wrestlers, 90% of the ones that are still alive are still making a living wrestling. The notable exception is Jessie Ventura.


3) Yes, that is MeatLoaf on drums … who knew he could play drums? Obviously Cyndi Lauper was much more successful with her Rock and Wrestling Connection perhaps because she was smart enough to hide behind a wig and glasses for this video.


4) Where the hell’s the Honky Tonk Man? I mean … com’on, this was made for him! (He actually made his debut in 1986, but still …)

Party In The U.S.A. [Reid and the Riot Act / Miley Cyrus]


From the Vault … Nov. 10, 2010




If you’re like me the only exposure you’ve had to Ms. Cyrus has been as the voice of Penny in the Disney animated film Bolt. Not a Disney classic by any stretch of the imagination, but one of the more tolerable films my kids can watch on repeat for weeks on end.


Outside of that my exposure to her has been simply the semi-ubiquitous “Party in the U.S.A.” Okay confession time. For some strange reason I actually like this song. I know, I know, she’s an underage white country girl with a smile like a jack-o-lantern name checking Jay-Z. The “story” of the song is total teen girl power trite. The lyrics aren’t particularly clever but let’s face it, compared to LFO it’s f*ckin’ Shakespere. Hell, compared to Billy Ray it’s f*ckin’ Shakespere. But it’s catchy, it’s got a good hook, the beat is good. You know everything she had no say in and her producers/song writers did.


So, uhm anyway, after the dark mood of the Halloween Cover Countdown, I figured something light like a cover of a pop tart would be in order. Can I call her a pop tart or is that weird? I know she turns eighteen this month but ….? WIKIPEDIA!!! That’s how I know, damn it! Anyway here’s a band called “Reid and the Riot Act.”

From the Vault … October 21, 2010


There’s been a number of songs called “Crazy.” Patsy Cline did one. Seal did one. However in early 2006 there was one “Crazy,” and it was everywhere. You simply couldn’t escape Gnarls Barkley. This however, isn’t that song. Not exactly anyway.


Violent Femmes released a cover of the song on June 24, 2008. It was their first newly recorded song since 2000, which wasn’t entirely new anyway, just a redone version of “Blister in the Sun” called “Blister 2000” for the Grosse Point Blank soundtrack. Take it as a musical nod to Gnarls Barkley for their cover over the Violent Femmes song “Gone Daddy Gone.”


Hmmm … that gives me and idea for the next post!

I Won't Give Up, Alex G, Alex Goot, Tyler Ward, Jason Mraz





I Won’t Give Up [ Alex G feat. Tyler Ward / Jason Mraz]


I have a feeling that Alex G goes by Alex G because she gets confused with Alex Goot, since they’re both YouTube cover artists. Just my hunch though.

Rocket Man [Nixons / Elton John] PRESIDENTAL COVERS


From the Vault … Feb. 20, 2011


Here’s a flash back. Obscure 90’s band, The Nixons, covering the Elton John classic Rocket Man. Yeah, I know it’s a stretch to call The Nixons presidential … wait … Nixon really was a president? It’s not just something they made up for Futurama? Who’d of thunk it?

In The End [Us / Linkin Park] PRESIDENTIAL COVERS


Well Monday is presidents’ day here in the USA. So in honor the next few days are all presidential covers. Like this cover of Linkin Park … because Lincoln was a president, get it? I know I know flimsy concept. It’s my blog I do what I want.

Romeo And Juliet [Brown Derbies / Dire Straights ] I LOVE COVERS


From the vault … Feb. 11th, 2011


I love the Brown Derbies. They’ve done some of the best college acapella covers ever, in my book. Unfortunately they’re very few on YouTube. So, while not thier best love song, here they are covering the Dire Straights’ Romeo and Juliet.
