Best album ever!

[yendi]

Hey slipjig! And anyone else who appreciates covers! Leslie Gore covering "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap!" Herman's Hermits and Peter Noone doing "White Wedding!" Billy Preston covering "Girls on Film!" Jackie Chan and Ani DiFranco covering "Unforgettable!" The Oak Ridge Boys* covering "Carry On My Wayward Son." Plus Devo, The Fixx, Neanderthal Spongecakes, The Connells, The Boxtops, Roy Clark,

and

Don Ho covering "Shock the Monkey."

Album (with sample clips of every song) located here.

Ganked from robyn_ma.

*Whose cover of "Get Back" is still one of my top five Beatles covers of all time.

Already ordered one, thanks!

My wife likes covers even more than I do, so I'll surprise her with this when it arrives.

(Have you heard anything by Big Daddy?)

I once dropped my sister to the floor by slipping Big Daddy's cover of "Welcome to the Jungle" on a mix.

That was also the one my wife sprung on me first. And "Nothing Compares 2 U" gets funnier every time I hear it.

[yendi]

Never have. I'm guessing they're a cover band?

Want an MP3 or two?

[yendi]

Sure!

(My LJ email should get 'em just fine).

(I'll try, but I didn't think LJ forwarded emails with large attachments.)

Yes! I've been coveting this album for two years now, but rafaela won't let it anywhere near the apartment. Sigh. (If you manage to snag a copy, could I talk you into slipping some mp3s my way?)

[yendi]

Definitely!

I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't know about this one sooner. It's been out for years.

I'd come across the Don Ho song, but not the others.

Yeah, I've been aware of the album for some time. I've had the Don Ho track for years. I can't remember where I acquired it, though.
