These must be real, not imaginary.

My fave: Dolly Parton's version of Stairway to Heaven.

"Winter Wonderland" by Radiohead

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 18:07 (twenty-one years ago)

that winter wonderland made me happy for weeks on end "i must have played too much awe-tech-ruh"...ha..i have to dig that up

I'm still creeped out by "calling occupants..." but its the only carpenters song that doesnt make me feel a bit carsick

Coil's Tainted Love.

― Anthony Lombardi (CCPO), Wednesday, 25 May 2005 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Coil's Tainted Love.

I beg to differ. COIL made this track their own, and its a thousand times more harrowing than the Soft Cell version (can't say I've ever heard the Northern Soul original).

I was just thinking how weird Johnny Cash doing "We'll Meet Again" is, when you think about it.

Mitch Miller, famous for his singing barbershop chorus of men, who was president of Columbia? Records in the 60's and was notorious for his disdain of rock covered Give Peace A Chance. That was nice.

I have that. I just always figured he was a liberal.

I have so many answers but none of them are coming to me.

― Cunga (Cunga), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Louis Armstrong's version of "Give Peace A Chance" (although he doesn't sing the gibberish lyrics; the female soul chorus takes care of that...Louis just scat-sings during the chorus: "oh, give Satchmo some of dat ole peace dere...").

― Rev. Hoodoo (Rev. Hoodoo), Thursday, 26 May 2005 02:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooh, Richard Thompson's cover of Oops!...I Did It Again
