cover songs

The tribute to Miss Independent includes hits from 2002 until now.

We all have those songs we hear and stick with us over the years. They may not be your favorite song, but you still enjoy them. Then you don’t hear them for a while, and all of the sudden you hear a familiar sound. You recognize it, but it’s different.  You're saying to yourself, “Hey wait, I know this song!”, but it is not the original artist.  It’s a cover song. You decide if you like it and how

In the same vein as that incredibly magical rendition of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' Jimmy Fallon, The Roots and a bunch of grade school instruments are once again making awesome music. This time it's a cover of Robin Thicke's nonstop hit 'Blurred Lines.'

Sambo Ray Jr. That may not be a name you recognize, but it will be one you remember after you see him perform MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This." It will be one you never forget after you see him perform Michael Jackson's "Black and White."

One of my all time favorite songs from the 90's - Wonderwall by Oasis has been covered by none other than Brit boy band, One Direction.

I cannot get enough of the Shields Brothers' cover performances! This week they made a cover mash-up featuring One Direction's What Makes You Beautiful with The Beatles Twist & Shout. I ♥ this!!

The first time that I heard Gotye's Somebody That I Use To Know, I had run across it as a viral video of 5 people playing one guitar, and singing. Although it was a cover of s song that I had never heard (at the time... Goty-who?), I was drawn not only to the "stupid human trick" of it all, but also to the song itself.

The Rob & I LOVE the Shields Brothers! You'll remember them from NBC's The Voice. In their Blind Audition they performed Billy Idol's Dancing With Myself (AWESOME!) and then sadly, they were sent home in the Battle Rounds when they were paired up against Erin Martin with Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It. I ...

I like a good cover song. Especially when the person covering the original adds their own special twist like this guy did using his toy piano.

You may or may not remember John Parr, but I bet you've at least heard his one lone hit at some point in your life. It was featured in the 1985 movie of the same name - St. Elmo's Fire. If you don't remember the movie itself, let me fill you in from the IMDb page: A Group of friends, just out of college, struggle with adulthood...

Yesterday, The Rob shared a video of the Ohio University Marching Band covering "Party Rock Anthem" from LMFAO. It reminded me of my high school days at Mater Dei when our marching and pep bands would do the same thing. I wasn't a member of either band, but being a fan of music in general, I always enjoy hearing a unique take on an established song. This led me to YouTube and a search of
