Holiday Road [Walkmen / Lindsey Buckingham] 12 DAYS OF COVERS


From the Vault … December 14, 2010


Sure I could do a whole month of Christmas Covers. In fact I could do a whole year of Christmas covers, but around July it might get old. So instead here’s the 12 Days of Covers. We’ll get it started with this one via the Onion A.V. Club, it’s the Walkmen covering Lindsey Buckingham’s Holiday Road. I suppose this isn’t technically a Christmas song, but it appeared in Christmas Vacation, so close enough.

Welcome to the Second Annual Day After Thanksgiving Rebecca Black Friday here on Undercover With Crut! Why do I do this? Because I can’t resist the pun!


To finish out the day, here’s Rebecca Black herself covering Rihanna, and it’s surprisingly not sucky.

From the Vault … May 15, 2011


Oh dear god, Katy Perry, who knew you could sink so low? Actually I’m guessing that it’s done tongue in cheek since she has to count the number of “fun’s” on her fingers.

American Pie [Madonna / Don McLean] CRAPPY COVER


Every year on Thanksgiving I try to honor the holiday by giving ya’ll a big old turkey. And this one is just awful. I don’t know who thought this was good idea, but Madge thought turning one of the greatest songs of the modern era into a medicore dance hall track was a good idea. Ugh!

If You Could Only See [Boyce Avenue / Tonic]


From the Vault … May 18, 2011


I love Tonic. In my book one of the most underrated bands in the Alt-Rock era. I know, you’ll question my entire musical taste from now on but … I still think they’re awesome. Here’s Boyce Avenue covering one of thier best known songs.

Smooth Criminal [Alien Ant Farm / Micheal Jackson]


From the vault … November 27th, 2010


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.

I Swear [All 4 One / John Michael Montgomery] DEEP COVER


In the early 90’s R&B scene if Boyz II Men were the Beatles, and Color Me Badd were the Rolling Stones then All 4 One was without a doubt Strawberry Alarm Clock. What you didn’t know was that their big hit was a cover of country crooner John Michael Montgomery,

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.

Dynamite [Steve Acho / Talio Cruz]


From the Vault … November 15, 2011


Here’s another guy I randomly stumbled across in my never ending search for awesome covers. He’s name is Steve Acho. He’s from Detroit. He plays piano. That’s all I know … But he does a heck of a lot of covers. And they’re really nifty.


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.

Waterfalls [Bette Midler / TLC]


The divine Ms. M has anew album out today. I’m not a Midler fan, and actually are there any non-drag queens fans of hers? Anyway she covers the Hip-Hop classic as a piano ballad, in case anyone was expecting a death metal version or a polka.
