Question: Am I at a party? And if so - main room, or back room/basement?

Seriously though - these are perfect covers IMO. Both bring something new and interesting, and don't replace the original. Whereas - picking on Pearl Jam again - the Baba O Riley cover is so similar to the original I don't see the point.

I hear you on that (bold part). That's why I really like the Lemonheads version of Mrs Robinson. It's their spin, but they do a great job with it. I really like that Cake version of I Will Survive for the same reason.ghostrunner wrote:Seriously though - these are perfect covers IMO.

My thoughts exactly. These are both interesting reinterpretations that sound fantastic in their own right.ghostrunner wrote:Seriously though - these are perfect covers IMO. Both bring something new and interesting, and don't replace the original.

Looks like this one is tied and going to extra innings.
Which song starts with a runner on 2nd?
