Song Cover and Oddity Overload
by xinit • 8/7/2005 • music • 0 Comments
It all started with a post as Oddio Overplay which linked to a couple of the following items…
More covers than I thought possible of the songs I Wanna Be Your Dog, and Pipeline, or Ghost Riders. Also a mix entitled How To Kill A Cop which has tracks such as Fuck The Police, I Fought The Law, and even The Simpsons’ cover of Bad Boys entitled Bad Cops.
In the bizarre department
- a page featuring the tunes from TV’s Space 1999
- a compilation featuring odd vocal stylings entitled Wild and Wooly Vocal Stylings
- an album by Chinga Chavin (1975) of Country Porn (featuring classics such as 10 Cum Unto Jesus
- Songs in answer to other songs such as I’ll Take Good Care of Your Baby which would be in response to Take Good Care of My Baby or Please Help in response to The Lion Sleeps Tonight
- Schwarzenegger’s Total Body Workout album from 2000 with great macho workout tunes like It’s Raining Men and Arnold’s voice over
- Two volumes (volumes five and six) of song poems featuring such sure-be-classic as Vampire Husband and Octopus Woman Please Let Me Go.
WFMU has one of the most entertaining music webl0gs I’ve seen in some time, with obscure MP3s, interesting news, and other odd finds. I could keep linking to individual posts, but just go read the whole thing.
