Shoshana Bean sounds like something you’d order at Chipolte. “Yes, I’ll have a Shoshana Bean Burrito please, hold the Guac.”
From the vault … Feb 7, 2012
Some people might say that Poison covering Justin Timberlake’s “SexyBack” is just a desperate attempt to stay relevant and appeal to the under 21 demographic. The counter argument is that bandanna Bret Micheal has had crazy glued to to his head for the past decade is some kind of mind control device that forced him to do it. I’m kidding of course. There is no other option than the first one.
Like all Blink-182 songs, this song is filled with lots of really deep sounding cliched meaningless metaphors. Whish is what makes it so deep.
No. Just no.
I never thought I’d get goosebumps by listening to a seven foot clown sing. Holy Crap. He should open and close with that song and do nothing in between.
If there’s ever been a president that was too drunk to fuck, it was Kennedy, maybe Clinton. Either way, Happy Presidents’ day bitches.
From The Vault … Feb. 18, 2011
What better way to celebrate Presidents’ day than with a mattress sale. Since I don’t sell matresses, here’s the next best thing, four presidential covers!
They say being President of the United States is the loneliest job on earth. So with that in mind here’s presidentially named Bush covering New Order’s In A Lonely Place.
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.
Mirrors [Steve Acho / Justin Timberlake]
Miiror Mirror on the wall who is the fairest of them all? Why it’s stilrzgirl!
Allentown [John Mellencamp / Billy Joel]
Man, Johnny Cougar is looking old these days, Then again so is the piano man.
Love Song [Adele / Cure]
From the vault … March 18, 2011
One of the Cure’s most covered songs is “Love Song” or “Lovesong” as called to on some of their re-released / greatest hits albums. If the band can’t make up their mind what the song’s name is, how the hell do they expect the tags in my iTunes library to be immaculate? Rat Bastards. Anyway off her 21 album, here’s Adele’s soft sultry take on “Lovesong.”

Also Happy birthday to the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, stilrzgirl
Three Days [L7 with Waylon Jennings / Willie Nelson]
From the Vault … July 26, 2012
For money L7 was one of the most underrated bands of the grunge era. Me thinks it was because with a 100% female line up, they got lumped in with the Angry Cooter music with Alanis and Tori. Which is a shame because they were pretty kick ass.
Here they are with country legend Waylon Jennings covering Three Days from the Alt Rock Willie Nelson tribute album, Twisted Willie.
Free Fallin’ [John Mayer / Tom Petty]
I try really hard to dislike John Mayer. He comes off as a bit of a twat, but he makes great music so it confuses me. Anyway here he covering that guy who played the mayor in that Kevin Coster post-apocalyptic movie. No, not Water World. The other one. The one that didn’t suck as much, The Postman.
Take Me To Church [Postmodern Jukebox featuring Morgan James / Hozier]
Okay, you already know I’m totally in love with Postmodern Jukebox for their tongue in cheek throwback flavored covers. This cover, the tongue has been removed from the cheek, and it’s powerful and moving and slightly unexpected,
Lullabye (Good Night My Angel) [John Stamos / Billy Joel]
From the Vault … September 13, 2012
Every singer wants to be an actor, every actor wants to be a singer. The singer to actor works most of the time, the actor to singer not so much. Remember Eddie Murphy? Bruce Willis? William Fucking Shatner?!?
Anyway back in 2006 someone thought it’d be a good idea to get a bunch of actors together, including Xena and what’s-her-name-with-a-smile-like-a-velocoraptor from Alias and record a bunch of non-traditional lullabies. Surprisingly it didn’t suck. Here from his pre-Glee singing career is Uncle Jesse … I mean John Stamos covering Billy Joel.
Imagine [Scott Bakula / John Lennon]
From The Vault … January 19, 2012
If you must know two intimate quirky details about me, here they are:
1) I’m fairly indifferent on the Beatles. I don’t know why but they do nothing for me.
2) If I were ever to “go gay,” it would only be for one man, and that one man is Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka. I might however consider a little bi-curiosity for Scott Bakula though.
So with that in mind, from season 3, episode 1 of Quantum Leap, here’s Sam Beckett covering Imagine.
What’s New Pussy Cat? [Mike Meyers / Burt Bacharach]
From Inside the Actors’ Recording Studio, here Mike Meyers (not the hockey mask guy, though he is Canadian).
Like A Hurricane [Adam Sandler / Neil Young]
I think everyone knows that Adam Sandler can sing. But did you know Adam Sandler can *sing*? Here inside the Actors Recording Studio is his very serious take on a Neil Young tune.
No One Knows When I’m Gone [Scarlett Johansson / Tom Waits]
Today from “Inside The Actors Recording Studio” is the second least popular Avenger covering Tom Waits. She actually did a whole album of Tom Waits covers and I’ll be darned if it ain’t slightly above mediocre.
Gold Dust Woman [Hole / Fleetwood Mac]
From The Vault … September 28, 2011
Ya Know for a chick who named her band after her late husband’s head, Courtney Love did pretty okay for herself … for a while. She was at the top of her game when this here Fleetwood Mac cover appeared on The Crow soundtrack.
Also did you know Courtney Love has an uncredited role in the Tim Robbins / John Cussack cult classic TapeHeads? She plays the hooker hitting by the senator with the ridding crop. Neat! Learn something new everyday. Also Weird Al is in the movie. And Ted Nugent. Possibly Kevin Bacon.
Take Me To Church [Ed Sheeran / Hozier]
Take me to church, there’s a bake sale and I want chocolate chip cookies.
Stairway to Heaven [Heart / Led Zeppelin]
Zep got all misty eyed hearing this cover as done by the ladies of Heart. BOOM! Winning the music industry.
Wish You Were Here [Catherine Wheel / Pink Floyd]
From the vault … Feb. 26, 2012
For some reason when the Rock ‘N Roll Hall Of Fame had an exhibit on “Women Who Rock” they totally overlooked Catherine Wheel. So here, as some matter of payback, is a Pink Floyd cover.
Chandelier [Postmodern Jukebox feat. Puddles Pity Party / Sia]
Postmodern Jukebox … while relatively unknown, still seems to show up in my Facebook feed on an almost daily basis. “Check out this version of (Insert song here) like you’ve never heard before!” So uhm … check out this version of Chandelier like you’ve never heard before.
