More romantic songs leading up the the VD. Little known fact, the Zombie apocalypse will start with Peter Frampton’s death, because Frampton comes Alive!!! Side note, this video is the most 90’s thing ever. White guys in dreadlocks?!?
stilrzgirl, I love your way.
Fell In Love With A Boy [Joss Stone / White Stripes] I LOVE COVERS
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.
Close To You [Cranberries / Richard Chamberlain] I LOVE COVERS
From the Vault … Feb. 8th 2011
Hey it’s time for another theme week thingy in honor of the Hallmark Holiday we call Valentine’s Day, or VD as I like to call it. So for the next week-ish, covers with the theme of Love, because “I Love Covers!” Also I had a request a while ago for covers for a wedding playlist.
So kicking of the week of Amore, here’s Close to You as done by the Cranberries from the “If I Were A Carpenter” tribute album to … well the Carpenters. You might remember this album was an important plot point in the movie Juno. I for one liked that movie save one very important point. I understand Jennifer Garner is supposed to be attractive and all, but I feel she has a smile like a Velociraptor and I can’t stand to look at her.
But wait there’s more! The song wasn’t originally by the Carpenters! It was written by the legendary Burt Bacharach and first recorded by Richard Chamberlain! Bet you didn’t know that!
I Need Love [Luka Bloom / LL Cool J] I LOVE COVERS
Back before he was an actor, LL Cool J used to record music. I bet you didn’t know that,
To Love Somebody [Janis Joplin / Bee Gees] I LOVE COVERS
If you only know the Bee Gees for disco, you’re missing out on one of the great vocal bands of all time. That whole disco thing, yeah just a sell out.
as a singer. I'm sorry, that's just how I feel. I'm aware that's an unpopular opinion. As a song writer though, he can't be beat. I think the cover song just might have been invented for him. I mean seriously, name on Dylan song that wasn't done better by someone else? All Along the Watch Tower
, Blowin' In The Wind
, Like A Rolling Stone
, Seven Days
, Knockin' on Heaven's Door
... all have been owned by other artists. (Also I sense a Dylan theme week in the future ...)
with her take on To Make You Feel My Love.

is on a reunion tour? Can you believe Paul Anka

, Nelly
and Lloyd
? Can you believe it's not butter
?
is best known for playing the manniquinn in the video for the Big and Rich
song Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy
(don't blink you'll miss her) or for finishing third on the Wayne Newton hosted reality show "The Entertainer." Personally, I've never seen someone who actually had the eyes they draw in Japanese anime.
cover got some fairly decent airplay on XM-Sirius ... for whatever that's worth., or VD as I like to call it. So for the next week-ish, covers with the theme of Love, because "I Love Covers!" Also I had a request a while ago for covers for a wedding playlist.
