Toxic [Chapin Sisters / Britney Spears] COVER TO COVER


From the Vault … Feb. 22, 2011


It’s time for another Cover to Cover. “Cover to Cover” is just that. Two (or more) cover versions of the same song, in one post. So that you can compare and contrast the similarities and differences in a three page essay. Taking on Britney Spears’ Toxic are two different groups.


The lighter side is the Chapin Sisters. Best known for being the daughters of Harry Chapin who aren’t Mary Chapin Carpenter, the girls have a light airy accoustic ballad-y take on the song.


And how fucking dare any of you make fun of Britney! Leave Britney Alone! Please! *sob*

On the other side of the coin is Static Lullaby, from the Punk Goes Pop 2 CD. A heavy heavy version with toxic vocals. Awesome.

Someone That I Used To Know (Cover to Cover)

Aussie crooner Goyte recently complained that Glee, did him wrong when they covered his song "Someone That I Used To Know." Which out of all the covers of the song I found, Glee strays least from the mean. So maybe he sucks at singing it is what he's saying? Judge for yourself in this edition of Cover To Cover

Here's the Glee version.



Here's a very haunting acapella version by Pentatonix that just mops the floor with the original version.



Here, take a moment to pick your jaw up off the floor. Then try this cover with five people playing the same guitar at the same time by Walk Off The Earth 



And finally here's the Netherlands Radio Choir taking their shot at it.

Hallelujah [Deep Cover / Cover to Cover]

You may be suprized to know that Hallelujah was originally recorded by Leonard Cohen. There have been so many other people to cover the song, that "owned" it, which is why today's entry is both a deep cover and a cover to cover.

According to http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/ there are 2,040 covers of Hallelujah. I think they count all 200 versions by American Idol contestants as one though so there might be more.


Jeff Buckley's cover is often mistaken for the original.



Rufus Wainwright's is perhaps the best known, having been featured in Shrek.




KD Lang did a version at the last winter Olympics




Allison Crowe is one of my top ten Hallelujah covers for sure.



Bon Jovi does a version too. Not great, but a little more rockin'



Il Divo sings it in Italian, making it sound all operatic. Thanks Simon Cowell!



If you're tired of the piano versions, try this one by Imogen Heap.



If you want to hear a god awful, techno spoken word version of this song, try Bono. Wait, what?

Use Somebody [Cover to Cover]

Okay, in this humble bloggers opinion, the most over covered song of the year was the Kings of Leon song "Use Somebody" so instead of subjecting you to a ton of posts, here's one jam pack wizz wham bam Cover To Cover post. I highly recommend NOT listening to all of them because lets face it, no one can stand to listen to this song eight times in a row. Then again, it's the week between Christmas and New Years and you're likely at work pretending to be productive, so maybe it would be a good use of your time. Wait, I know! Set them all off in 10 second intervals and it'll be like it's being sung in a round. Remember that from elementary school?


Matisyahu - Hasidic Jew and Reggae star, listen to this one if you're Jewish or know someone Jewish or are a Regaee star or know a Reggae star.

Nick Jonas and the Administration - Listen to this one if you're a female under the age of 16 or if you happen to be brain dead.

The Sing Off Contestants - Acapella, with a wide variety of vocals. Listen to this one if you've ever had sex with a peacock.

Ultrabeat - The "Club Cover". If you're wearing glittery pants at this very minute, listen to it.

Paramore - Chick driven rock. Listen to this one if you have a thing for redheads.

Pixie Lott - Haunting country folky styling here. If you dig that sort of thing, listen to this one

Bat For Lashes - Someone once described this genre to me as "Angry Cooter Music." If your cooter is angry, you've found your cover!

Cornell Chordials - More Acapella. Listen to this one if you haven't listened to any others, cause there are no more to choose from.

Little Drummer Boy [12 Days of Covers / Cover to Cover]

One of the most bizarre juxtapositions in holiday music history, perhaps in modern music history was in 1977, when David Bowie paid a visit to Bing Crosby on his Christmas special.

While a "Traditional" song, using the same arrangement Will Farrell and John C. Riley took a stab at it this year. Making this two covers for the price of one!

Under The Bridge [Cover to Cover]

More new features to the blog? When will the insanity end?

"Cover to Cover" is just that. Two (or more) cover versions of the same song, in one post. So that you can compare and contrast the similarities and differences in a three page essay. Got it, good. And belive it or not this is actually harder to come up with than you might think. I mean, yes I could play three versions of Landslide for example, but by the third the Landslide really would have brought you down. Made that mistake once. Never again.

Three versions of the Red Hot Chili Peppers original "Under the Bridge." The first is by mid-90's girl group, All Saints best known for their hit ...uhm .. well they had a number one hit in like 1997. If you heard it you'd remember it and so would I. The second is by the Gym Class Heroes from the Punk Goes 90's album. The final version is by Scala and Kolancy Brothers, a Belgian girls choir. Wait, what? Anyway, you'll see them back on the blog someday as they do some killer covers.
