Money (That's what I want) The Babys did it best, Barrett Strong did it first. Many others including The Trashmen, Stones, Beatles, great White and Levon Helm did it well

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

And here is one that is just amazing...

Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix doing Radioactive. I like the original, too, but this remake is simply amazingly good. (130MM views, so if you haven't seen it already, where have you been?)

In 1938 we got "Jeeper Creepers" (where'd you get those eyes)...

In 1988 we got a cover with Siouxsie and the Banshees called Peek-a-Boo that I thought was quite an original take on the song...

Animals? Overrated.

You'll probably hear from PETA, ASPCA, etc...

IMHO Best cover ever  - Sounds of Silence ... Disturbed   Absolutely amazing. David Draiman even received a complimentary text from Paul Simon.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk7RVw3I8eg#t=11

...and Draiman did another absolutely incredible version with Myles Kennedy -- the new Simon and Garfunkel!!!

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Don McLean wrote "And I love you so" on his first album.

Frank Sinatra covered it. It's a no brainier to say Sinatra did it better.

IMHO, I wasn't fond of Sinatra's cover of "Something" - I prefer George Harrison.

Within Temptation's cover of Passenger's "Let Her Go". 

Come to think of it just about anyone with a reasonably rich voice can improve on Passenger's singing of his own material.
