what would truely be WTF is Dolly Parton singing Nine While Nine

I miss SoM.

netizencain: I miss SoM.

They're still around. Well, Andrew is anyway. Some friends of mine saw them last year in Atlanta.

Is it really that WTF when a band does a cover way outside their genre? Seems pretty commonplace to me.

/a friend of mine from high school didn't know that Gimme Shelter was a cover.

On the other hand, Dolly's rendition of "Stairway to Heaven" is actually pretty good.

I remember wincing through a rendition of Don McLean's Vincent by Jerry Reed.

This is my prayer. Please be Me and Little Andy. Amen.

The best cover of anything by anyone will always be the Laibach version of Let it Be.

yeah.....
Like this was not done years ago by the White Stripes (new window)

covering


PNSFW

No more unusual than Johnny covering Trent.

My favorite Dolly song. Sadly not the song being covered.

/a cover of a song outside your genre is not a WTF moment. It's overly common anymore.

They could be covering nursery rhymes or Opeth and you couldn't tell with that sound quality...

Damn. That sucked as bad as the White Stripes version. There are very few songs that are perfect. You should never try to cover a perfect song. Jolene is perfect as it is.

Anyone know if there is a PAL version of this?

The Sisters did quite a few covers, Gimme Shelter, Emma and 1969 for example.

Love's Sisters of Mercy

but

Unwatchable. Unlistenable.

Unwatchable. Unlistenable.

Yep. I'm a big Sisters of Mercy fan, but the video is damn near impossible to enjoy.

LewDux: covering


PNSFW

pure awesome

Funny. I read that headline as Dolly Parton singing Sisters of Mercy, which is a song by Leonard Cohen. Wondered about the WTF, since I imagine she could do a good jorb with it.

How did I know it was going to be Jolene?

Found a (slightly) better version

Cagey B: The best cover of anything by anyone will always be the Laibach version of Let it Be "One Vision."

Best covers thread?

The correct answer is always going to be Negativland covering "I Still Haven't Found what I'm Looking For"
