Broc 3 - Cover Me Impressed
Everybody’s Dressin’ Funny … Cover Me Impressed!

The Original

Has there ever been a more pleasant song? Just makes you feel like your blissfully floating away. I knew a woman who chose this as her wedding song (Brilliant!) but inexplicably chose to use Annie Lennox’s bland version (What the Hell?!!?).

My favorite song from The Waterboys. Reminiscent of Tom Wait’s masterpiece, San Diego Serenade …

The Rolling Stones:

I’ve always loved this song. Such attitude and verve! It really epitomizes The Stones and how they’ve tried to represent themselves. Highly under-appreciated in my opinion.

Some guy on the radio said that this song featured the first known bass solo. Wonder if it’s true. Apparently they had to keep rerecording because Entwistle kept breaking his strings.
