Redeeming the Unredeemable: Good Covers of Bad Songs
Not great covers of good songs (e.g., Devo doing "Satisfaction") but shitty songs that somehow become decent in the hands of someone more skilled.
I offer this:

Urge Overkill covering a moldy Neil Diamond song counts for this exercise, I reckon:

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop

Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Perhaps I'm a bit biased.

You weren't posting here during the great Paranoid War last year, were you? Lack of respect for early Sabbath will arch many eyebrows.

Re: Redeeming the Unredeemable: Good Covers of Bad Songs
No, too new to have been involved in that one. No disrespect for Sabbath intended, I just prefer the way the Mats butcher, I mean improve, the covers they played.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑27 Sep 2021, 6:16pmYou weren't posting here during the great Paranoid War last year, were you?

Let's just say that people here had an opportunity to vote for "Paranoid" and instead picked "Another Girl, Another Planet."

Hopefully this one will be less controversial. I think the Muffs just kick ass with this version, hands down a winner.

First person to post a cover of a Bruce song gets a one week ban.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
