So Nickel Creek had this great idea for a cover. They took Billy Joel's worst song, the one that's going to keep him out of heaven, and did a cover of it. They changed the rhythm, melody, tune and chord progression. They also changed the lyrics completely. If only they would also burn all copies of the record, they might have redeemed the song.

Original so lame it couldn't even sell fabric softener.

See clearly through dirty windows? I don't think so...

Original had ''no cling''.

Celebrating the lost romance of late 80s mid-priced sedans.

There should be an OT subforum for seniors.

Reminds me that you can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.

This guy really nails it.

Did you actually watch that?

ugh, who showed vegetable lasagne where the forums be at?

Llamo, obscure/unfunny Seinfelch references should be a separate thread. Scroll down and look at the ones nobody is interested in.

Yup, the whole five minutes! It was hilarious. Maybe you have to be in the right mood...

There's a bloke I was chatting to awhile back who thought The Clash were a pop band, this is for him:

Original: The Crickets - I Fought The Law (1959?)


Cover: The Clash- I fought the Law


We cool?

Thats funny....I like them but never knew they did that cover....nice. Seen them in concert back in the day....definitely considered punk in their heyday.....pop....lol.

Damn- in their prime?

82 or 83? In MY prime! lolo In seattle.....

Most covers aren't better or worse, just different.

This cover of Honky Tonkin' isn't necessarily ''better'' but it is delightfully different.

You sound like a music teacher trying to encourage a kid learning the recorder.

This is a cover of the Animals who were doing a cover of Bob Dylan's cover of a traditional folk song. If you want to hear the folk song, check out the Woody Guthrie version.

I particularly like this version, because the band (from Detroit) reminds me of a better America.

Maybe Not Better But, All Good Versions Of The Originals

Aye-



Dukasaur is gonna love/hate this.

Not been here in ages, but this was a good thread and still is.

Gonna plug AV Club's Undercover series because it's great, and this is better than whatever Weezer is doing these days.

Enjoyed that....thanks!

Thanks peeps- glad to see that the music threads are still memorable:
