Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? [Violent Femmes / Culture Club]
From The Vault … June 6, 2012
Last year I went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when they had their special “Women Who Rock” exhibit. It wasn’t bad I suppose, but they over looked some obvious choices … Like Alice Cooper, Marylin Manson, Twisted Sister, Catherine Wheel and Alice in Chains.
Also over looked, Violent Femmes. Here they are covering the Culture Club’s “Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?”
Careless Whisper [Seether / George Michael]
From the vault … January 11. 2011
"Careless Whisper" was George Michael’s first post Wham! song, although it was go written by that other guy, from Wham! You know the blond guy … what was his name … Alex Winter? This cover is by Seether and according to a review for Billboard, said, “the song is a mostly faithful take on the original, with guitars subbing for the saxophone intro before greeting a Staind-meets-Nickelback grunge dynamic. Younger rock fans who don’t know George Michael from Boy George will love the song”.
