They made it sound like a bluegrass song. With the second one, talk about being soulful! This was an excellent cover. I can definitely hear this on one of the soul stations on SiriusXM. Really good stuff. Thanks for shring these! Quote

Bad Things Posted January 25 Posted January 25 A couple years ago, my wife were holidaying on the island of Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, where we rent a little beach house each winter. Well, this one year, there were a couple workers doing some maintenance on the house next door, while I was drinking rum in the shade of the coconut trees. They were playing music, but kept it quiet and to themselves, until the end of the day, when everyone but one of them went home. This one guy stayed behind to clean up. Well, since he was alone, he took control of the boombox and played the following song on repeat for at least a dozen times in a row. The song is so bloomin' bad, my wife and I were laughing our butts off each time it came on again. Every now and then, I'll load it up on the stereo just to play the intro and annoy the Mrs. (It's so bad!) 1 1 1 Quote

Grimaces I say I'm afraid to click it. I've never heard this before LOL Quote

If we want to go down that route, he should get his own separate thread. 1 1 Quote

Re: the first one, the Pickin On series is becoming more extensive. That cover came from this album, which is focused on the 80's. There are lots of other things they've done as well. 1 Quote

The Alanis irony of Starship singing about rock and roll being bedrock for San Fran with a weak ass song LOL I just spent the last couple days absolutely slaughtered by norovirus, finally took a moment to look at this thread, and you seriously posted we built this city as the first response???? Common man. Quote

They played AC/DC's first album - and the food was damn good. Pete, just consider yourself excommunicated for throwing Starship at the unwashed masses. Maybe God will forgive your soul. Quote
