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.

Don’t Be Cruel [Cheap Trick / Elvis Presley]

From the vault … Jan. 12, 2011

What happens when the King of rock and roll gets covered by one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Cheap Trick? You get a mediocre cover that’s what! Rock on!

I’ll Stand By You [Rod Stewart / Pretenders]

Here’s a little known fact. Early in his career, Rod Stewart was considered quite attractive, and rarely if ever, mistaken for a muppet.

Teenage Dream [The Horrible Crowes / Katy Perry]

The lead singer of the Horrible Crowes kinda sounds like Joe Cocker. Kinda. The band as a whole sounds like a lesser version of the Black Crowes … oh, I get the name now.

To Love Somebody [Damien Rice and Ray Lamontange / Bee Gees]

From the Vault … August 20, 2011

Of all the Bee Gees songs, this is the most covered by far. To Love Somebody has been covered by everyone from Janis Joplin to Billy Corgan to Simply Red. Here’s one of the best covers of the song, IMHO, Damien Rice and Ray Lamontagne with a simply heart breakingly aching take on the song.

She Blinded Me With Science [ William Shatner / Thomas Dolby] CRAPPY COVER

Each and every day I scour the interwebs to find you my humble fans, cover songs. I get right down there in the bowels in the music industry, and just to prove it to you, here’s some crap from the bowels. It’s not quite the bottom of the barrel because as far as the bottom of the barrel goes, it’s low hanging fruit. My metaphors are so jumbled right now. I canna take much more of this captian. I’m giving her all she’s got!

"I wanna hear you …. sreeeeeeeam!" No? Okay how about then an instrumental version of GNRby 2Chellos. You might have guessed 2Chellos is a group consisting of 2 guys playing chellos. Think Apocalyptica, but half the band.

I Love Rock N Roll [Joan Jett and the Blackhearts / Arrows] UNCOVERED

Joan Jett’s big break through and signature song was a cover. Don’t believe me? Here’s the UNCOVERED original version by the Arrows. You’d be surprised how often the break-through signature song is a cover.

Like most Otis Redding songs, this isn’t an Otis Redding song. Originally recorded by O.V. Wright, this song has been covered a bajillion times. And here’s one more by Seven Mary Three, or 7 Mary 3. Side note, 7 Mary 3 was the call sign for Larry Wilcox on CHiPS.

This Magic Moment [Lou Reed / Jay and the Americans]

Wow I really need to go relisten to the whole “Lost Highway” soundtrack because it has a lot of cover songs I just totally missed. The original on this from the golden age of AM radio, when every musical group was named after a plural noun.

For the record, “Weird Al” is not a cover artist, he does parodies, which aren’t covers. Except his polka medleys, which are covers.
