Always like this song
And never knew the origin of the line 'You don't have to call me Mister mister, the whole world calls me Hank', but now I do

I do like Andy Grammar
He's got some fun stuff, while this isn't my favorite, it isn't terrible, and I feel like I should know who the weirdo in the elevator is.
This I think is a better one, and the video is so fun.

Feeling rough tonight
Not sure why though. Yes, I didn't sleep well nor much last night, but that should just mean tired, instead my neck, upper back, shoulders and feet all hurt.
#today was a good enough day, because of the sleeping problems I cancelled my shift with Better Trucks, but in the end wound up working any how even though I didn't need to as I had the opportunity to work in Wood River, somewhere I have been in at least six months, maybe longer. Funny, thanks to the tariffs, Better Trucks is drying up, but one of my other gigs is heating up as it looks like UPS is trying to build their own alternative to the USPS. Well, money in my pocket as long as things keep going like this, so no complaint here.
Oh, and this song just feels appropriate today: youtu.be/YApDcvIhlWw

Eddie Vedder is awesome
He's the lead singer of Pearl Jam, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that remembers when Jeremy came out along with a few other great songs during the grunge era, right?
Thanks to Hawaaii Five-0, the new one, not the classic one, I got turned on to The End, which is a great song, particularly acoustically...
I've shared that before, but here's something new that the algorithm recently turned me on to...
Doesn't sound like Roger Waters could've handled the singing himself, and I really like Eddie's voice here, along with him not trying to imitate the original, but instead singing it his way, which I think works quite well.

So, the march of covers is done
And it was fun. I was surprised how easy it was to come up with things between SXM and my own memories of good covers, I didn't have to resort to looking in my collection for ideas until the last week or so. I also got one of my mini-goals done, and almost my other one, no songs were repeated, and we only repeated one artist, but in both cases, it was a partnership, and he was the only common element, so does that count as same artist?
This wasn't just a case of me tossing out songs either, for nearly every one of them, I researched the song, mostly on #Wikipedia , listened to the original and in many cases, notable covers if there were any beyond the one I shared. I also tried to only share covers that I thought were at least interesting if not transformative. I also had fun showing off how many genres of music I like, I mean how diverse was the songs?
So, if'n you missed any of the #music I shared, there is a public playlist for it on YouTube, go enjoy, and feel free to tell me what you think of any of my choices, or suggest better versions or other covers I might like.
Well, I guess the month of covers is history after this
So why not have some history? Originally released by World Party in 93, Eliza released her cover in 05. Described by Wallinger as 'a précis of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy in four verses, I think it works better as a folk song than their original rock version.
We're going west to the pet shop
I was rather surprised to find that this is a cover, but then considering the length of time between the original and the cover with no other versions popping up, I suppose it's understandable. It's rather interesting what they added, feeling it sounded like a Soviet march, they added a new bridge and coda to play that up.

It's a day fit for a king
Now here's one you don't expect a cover for, though modern swing is the right style for it, no?
Time to jet
This is from the Armageddon soundtrack, and I can't really say why I have a copy of that, I haven't seen the movie, but I must've heard something from the soundtrack and decided to get it, and it wasn't this song, rather this was a pleasant surprise from it. I can't say that it's better than Peter, Paul and Mary's version, but it's a fine version.
Time to get crazy
Finally having to dip into my collection to come up with songs, not bad for twenty-three days in, right? I've got three versions of this in my collection, Queen's original, Dwight Yoakam's, and this one, though I should try the Stray Cats version as well and see how it differs as Brian fronts both groups.
Speaking of the Stray Cats, my alternate choice for today was Rock This Town, but would the Brian Setzer Orchestra version even count as a cover?
Time to ride
This is my favorite version of the song, but there's lots of covers and some of them are... interesting. Two funny things to note about this song, the original Allman Brothers version didn't chart, and this version falls into the other covers section of the Wikipedia page. Not sure which version I heard first, this or the Allman Bros, after all they're a staple of classic rock stations and often show up on rock stations, both of which I tend to listen to, but I think it really works as a country song especially when done by Hank Williams Jr.
Some traveling music today
So, I don't have much to say about this song, heard this version, then tripped over the original by Old Crow Medicine show, which is great, but boy is there a lot to say about it. Seriously, just hit the Wikipedia page, this song had a wild gestation. Oh, and I didn't realize it was the band Lady Antebellum providing the backing vocals.
Not surprised that this is a cover
I mean Dwight Yoakam does like his covers, but this Elvis tune doesn't seem to get many covers, certainly nothing as big as this.
Broke a mini goal
So, with yesterday's addition to covers month, I finally broke a mini-goal. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long, but I had been trying both to repeat no songs and repeat no artists. I suppose I could split hairs on yesterday, it was the second appearance of Willy Nelson, however this time he was with Merle Haggard, last time he was with Paul Simon, so technically the artists are different, but that's really splitting hairs.
There are artists whose covers I won't be sharing, like the Cleverlys, I mean their music is great, should hear their cover of Beck's Loser, it's great, but they do these covers only because it's funny, fundamentally they're a comedy band, and I prefer serious attempts when covering a song. I'm also skipping Puddles and Post Modern Jukebox, since as good as they are, they're kinda specialized I guess? Honestly not sure about those two, my opinion might change.
So, if'n you haven't been keeping up with the #music I've been sharing, there's two ways to do so, my #YouTube playlist, or by going directly to my cover songs posts.
Blame Willie's Roadhouse on SXM
I mean they keep finding me originals or covers I've never heard of, and when looking into it, sometimes I find surprising things, like the fact that this, what I would call the definitive version of the song, is a cover.
Apparently it was originally written by Townes Van Zandt and released on his 1972 album, and over by Emmylou Harris, the version I was introduced to today, and others, with this version obviously being the best known. And technically it's not about Pancho Villa, that's just a coincidence according to Townes, in fact the original spelling was Poncho and Lefty, with different printings of the Nelson & Haggard version having different spellings, sometimes with differences between the record, record sleeve and liner notes.

Forgot to mention
That I decided to create a playlist with all the cover songs I'm sharing this month.
youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfO…
So far, half way into the month, I've run entirely off of covers I remember, songs I've heard on the radio, and YouTube suggestions, with no repeating of artists or songs. Today I finally had to resort to looking at my collection to jog my memory or find songs.
So, for any that haven't been keeping up, have some #music
Band wasn't a hard choice
Nor really was the song. While they've done plenty of awesome covers and I could've chosen any one, this one is likely my favorite video, just a really cool sci-fi piece that really changes the song.
Took me a bit to decide which cover
I mean it's been covered a lot, in fact no one really knows where the song started, but it predates recorded music. Lots of good versions out there, but I was down to either Spiderbait or Caravan Palace, and decided on electro-swing in the end.

We promised one every day
And no eighteen hour work day is going to stop us.
This song's been covered a lot of times, but this is the only one I know of to tweak the list of problems in the world, adding a few 80s items to the list.

Y'all prolly starting to think I forgot about day 5
Assuming anyone is actually paying attention, perish the thought. Let's be lazy, one I've shared before, and really like both it and the video, it's amazing how much making this song heavy metal really changes it. And then the video from MacFarlane Studios...
