Cover Versions Special!

View on Zencastr

It’s a Cover Versions Special!

Good lord, what is happening? Can you believe your eyes? It’s quite literally a special episode where we talk about cover versions! This is madness! 

But not the band Madness. 

Why do we do cover versions? Are they ever better than the original? What band did the best cover versions? What would be a wise song to cover now? 

All of these questions and more may be ignored as we listen to a bunch of cover versions that we recorded. Songs originally made famous by artists including Neil Diamond, The Ramones and Bryan Adams. 

This episode also contains what we call an Engagement Opportunity. Which you could ignore if you like, but quite honestly it’ll make you a more interesting person if you take part. 

Your listening experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the original versions of the songs featured in the show, which you can find in your favourite record shop or online platform.

The Out To Lunch song lyrics are:

Searching for time that just is not there.
Does it always have to take this long?
You said don’t push it too far
just let it fade away.
But I felt I had to do something before we threw it all away.

Chorus

Just a dash of creativity
that's all it needed.
Creativity
with all of them trimmings that come with love.

So take heed,
before you jump that gun
settle your conscience.
Can't you see what I see?
Girl, are you blind
to the ways of the lovin' man?
You need. . .

(Repeat Chorus)
