This song, written by Warren Zevon when he was dying of lung cancer, is absolutely heartbreaking.

 

 

I completely agree. It reminds me of an other case of cancer which took a life much too early. In 2017, the front woman of Those Darlins, Jessi Zazu, died of ovarian cancer at the age of 28. A couple of years earlier, she had written a song "Ain't Afraid". It is not clear if she knew about her cancer diagnosis when she wrote this song.

this band has been touring with Cults on the late summer/fall  2022 US tour.  Bambi and company are based out of Portland Oregon. Indie vibe. Bambi is married to the keyboard player. The 2nd clip showing her playing the same vintage blonde Gibson Ripper bass that my son toured with for years. Until it was destroyed during Hurricane sandy in Cults practice space in NYC.

with all this weather talk I felt this would be an appropriate tune

My wife commented that the colors of Sean Lennon's outfit did not match well with the color of his guitar...

Well, if this is the only problem - the rest is impressive. They play a King Crimson and a Pink Floyd cover, and those fit very well with their own songs.

My favorite Clash song...

 

 

Two interesting covers. First, Paul Simonon himself turns it into a New Orleans-style funeral march...

 

 

Second, a different interpretation...

Sorry, just not a fan of terrible music. Please keep your evangelical crap to yourself.

if you are referring to "Time after Time", I think your interpretation is different than the song writer's although it's likely allegorical.  https://americansongwriter.com/meaning-time-after-time-cyndi-laupers/  As for terrible music, the court of public opinion disagrees as do I and this reviewer:  https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-best-of-eva-cassidy-mw0002422992

Difficult to find a live video with reasonable audio from them...

 

 

And I could not find a live version of my favorite Hüsker Dü song...

haha 3 versions of one song. For me that means it was a noteworthy and influential song  after it came out. I am now thinking of what iconic songs have been covered a minimum of 3 times. That would be a cool thread.

 

 

I am not convinced an extra thread would get enough responses. Thus, I will keep my responses to the "muppy challenge" in this thread.

My first entry: Ticket to Ride

 

The original:

 

The "punk rock" version

 

 

The psychedelic/heavy version (there are some recent live versions available, but they just document that at some point you should retire)

 

 

The aria version

 

 

Very close to the original, from one of their biggest competitors at that time

I can't remember if it's Hey Joe or Yesterday that has been recorded by the most artists.

@DrW Derek and the Dominoes Who knew...:-) I would say the last 2 are really good covers. REO Speedwagon kicking out the Jams!

Another entry: The House of the Rising Sun

 

This is a very old song of unknown origin. The first recorded version was by Ashley and Foster in 1933 as "Rising Sun Blues".

 

 

Woodie Guthrie recorded his version in 1941. Interestingly it is in 4/4, not in 3/4 as the Ashley and Foster version.

 

 

What made the song famous: Eric Burdon and the Animals (in 3/4)

 

 

The heavy/psychedelic version; Frijid Pink (their only hit ever - in 4/4)

 

 

A newer heavy version - Muse (in 3/4)

 

 

I am aware that there are numerous other covers, e.g. Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, even Dolly Parton. I do not think that any of those covers is very different from the examples shown here. Thus, I will conclude this chapter with... Puddles

lol geez

 

Gave this some thought - and failed miserably. But then I realized what interests me more is the unexpected cover. A number of years ago I saw Jack Johnson and I never imagined he'd cover Ramones 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend'.  Here's another unexpected cover:
