« dOntEAtpOOp : ^ well if you'd include a Zeppelin's Thank You Video

I linked to the video rather than embedding it, but it's there.

On with the game.

dOntEAtpOOp @ 7/21/2008 11:45:06 PM

^ well if you'd include a Zeppelin's Thank You Video, followed by a video of Flaming Lips covering it, and then Yoshimi it'd be legit.

Oh well, the game goes on...

Flamin Lips cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

pocksucket @ 7/21/2008 8:45:21 PM

Bending the rules a little here, but this pretty much fits, and I'm mostly posting this because I've been humming it for about a week and wanted to share.

FZ is doing a Led Zep cover. Another Led Zep song is Thank You.

Thank you was covered by The Flaming Lips on their Finally the Punk Rockers Are Taking Acid compilation album.

So here we have The Flaming Lips performing Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.

Frank Zappa covering Stairway to Heaven

dOntEAtpOOp @ 7/20/2008 7:47:01 PM

« pocksucket : They did (clearly).

They also covered Stairway (Who hasn't? I know I have)

Something of an aside, but I always wondered what the Grohl/Cobain dynamic worked out. Dave's fun-loving, comedic demeanor seems somewhat at odds with Kurt's serious, world hating, ultimately blowing the back of his head off attitude.

I wonder if there were times when Grohl overstepped the mark by balancing buckets of jelly on top of the studio door just before Cobain was due, that sort of thing.

Believe it or not, for a while Kurt was an equally fun loving happy guy.

Oh, and in answer to your question; These guys have never "covered" stairway to heaven.

Didn't the Foo Fighters do this one too?

pocksucket @ 7/18/2008 7:25:54 AM

Primus also covered Pink Floyd's Have A Cigar

~~(NB - at work at the moment and so can't vet that for quality. If it's pants, sorry).~~

Found one that goes on for more than 45 seconds.

PS, DEP your URL is malformed.

dOntEAtpOOp @ 7/17/2008 11:52:17 PM

Primus also covered the same tune.

(and since it wants to act like it's no longer available, I'll just link it)

dammit...video not display.
tries again

Edit: changed to more recent link, here's the first one

I think I screwed up the rules. sigh.

IcePigs @ 6/23/2008 7:20:46 PM

BoC - Born to Wild

the next video should be one of the following:

* A song originally by Steppenwolf covered by someone else.
* A song sung by BOC that was originally by someone else.
* Another cover of Born to Be Wild

pocksucket @ 6/23/2008 6:41:23 PM

I fancied resurrecting thread post (as I apparently killed it).

Pretty much everyone in the world ever has covered Kick Out The Jams at some point, so I figured it was a goer, but apparently not.

Here are The Blue Oyster Cult doing it:

.

Just to recap the rules, the next video should be one of the following:

A song originally by Blue Oyster Cult covered by someone else.
A song sung by BOC that was originally by someone else.
Another cover of Kick Out The Jams

Again, all of these exist.

pocksucket @ 4/7/2008 5:22:53 PM

I'd really want to follow that up with Val Kilmer's cover of Tutti Frutti from Top Secret:

But unless you count some of the songs on The Doors soundtrack that he might have sung on it's a bit of a dead end.

So here's MC5 doing the same song

pocksucket @ 4/6/2008 7:09:12 PM

Even by her standards that's saccharine.

I don't want Ever Fallen In Love to go unnoticed here, but the real deal is Elvis

dOntEAtpOOp @ 4/6/2008 5:09:47 PM

Here she is doing "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals.

(Dolly Pardon, how do I detest thee; let me count the ways)

pocksucket @ 4/6/2008 5:00:20 PM

« dOntEAtpOOp :

(Stairway is from a band called Led Zeppelin)

Thanks...

There are, of course, plenty of covers of Stairway. Just don't say "Far Corporation".

I went for something a little more obscure; at least to me it is. Dolly herself is not exactly unheard of, but I'd no idea she'd done this.

dOntEAtpOOp @ 4/6/2008 10:12:25 AM

Eggman? Walrus?
not embedding so it doesn't count for the game, but feel free to follow the link so you can see it.
(Zappa cover of The Beatles "I am the Walrus")

...but since that's not embedding; let's try Stairway to Heaven

(Stairway is from a band called Led Zeppelin)

Pocksucket @ 3/28/2008 10:18:33 PM

Lot of options with Phish too, but I think for nerve I have to go with Peaches en Regalia.

And I have a feeling that dangling Zappa will bring back a tasty treat.

dOntEAtpOOp @ 3/28/2008 9:57:23 PM

Man... Lot of options from that song, eh?

I'l go with Phish.

It's weeping about that mullet, Jeff.

ahh glad to see someone found a way out of the bad religion mess I got us into..hehe this thread rocks

Status quo - RoadHouse Blues (an awesome cover of it too)

Pocksucket @ 3/28/2008 4:36:19 PM

OK, technically, as John Fogerty wrote the song and was in CCR I'm not entirely sure that counts.

But I'm gonna get us out of this mire (Yay!)

Status Quo covering Rockin' All Over The World

Originally written by Fogerty.

So, just to recap (and I really do hope I got this right)...

The next video should either be:

a) a Status Quo song that has been covered by someone else

b) a Status Quo song that is a cover of someone else's song

c) a cover of Rockin' All Over The World that is not by Status Quo (or Fogerty, or CCR, I guess)

All of which exist.

Go...

« muppetmaker : I guess not, I thought we had to find a video that related to the one above in some sort of cover form. Im an idiot. I need to keep out of threads that confuse me.

Lol. The video has to be in direct relation to the last video posted. Since the last video was CCR doing "Proud Mary" the option would be to either pick another CCR song (one that someone else has covered) or pick another artist doing Proud Mary)

muppetmaker @ 3/28/2008 3:57:30 PM

« dOntEAtpOOp : Are you sure you understand how this game works?

Bad Religion's Sorrow

dOntEAtpOOp @ 3/27/2008 7:24:58 PM

Though Bad Religion isn't a dead end, any of the other bands that covered any of their songs seem to be. Are there any songs that Bad Religion performed that they didn't write? I couldn't come up with one but I'm not the hugest follower of the band, so I could be missing something. If anyone can come up with something, please do. Or else *sniff* I think this thread will die.

theclansman @ 3/27/2008 4:38:00 PM

a different band covering a song from the same artist.

Well this is pretty close, how about a different band doing the original version of a song that the same artist covers..lol that is confusing

dOntEAtpOOp @ 3/27/2008 4:20:30 PM

« blurmore:
only because there is no video of Sublime's cover of Peter Tosh's "Legalize It" from Hempilation.

Sure about that?

Sublime covers "Legalize It", a song from Peter Tosh (former member of The Wailers (as in: Bob Marley and The Wailers))

**additional info on artist was given only to help future posters who may not know as much about the musician

or... if you don't want to follow the rules (clansman), I guess I'll make the bridge for you with this video so that your post makes sense.

blurmore @ 3/27/2008 10:48:07 AM

Sublime cover of "Hong Kong Phooey"

only because there is no video of Sublime's cover of Peter Tosh's "Legalize It" from Hempilation.

dOntEAtpOOp @ 3/25/2008 11:29:24 PM

Alright... It sounds like fun in my head... Hopefully it makes sense.

I'm going to post a song and you have to find either a cover version of that song on youtube -OR- another song by that artist/band/whatever that someone else has covered or that is a cover itself.

For instance...

Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog"

the next logical step is to put up Elvis' cover of the song, or any other cover version of the song. The other option is to find another Big Mama Thornton song that has been remade or is a remake.

The only rule is that you cannot lead us to a dead-end. What this means is; no one hit wonder bands that have no other cover songs and no one has covered them. Try and keep the thread going.

Does that make at least a little sense? Okay, go. First song is already posted; Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog.
