As a rule I do not post videos that are restricted in any way and must be viewed on another site. So ordinarily I would have just tossed this cover. But it is too brilliant, too spectacular, too awe-inspiring, just too, too, too … Take the journey over to YouTube and queue up the version posted by Tenkanen, then sit back and bask in its extravagance! Trust me, you will thank me later!!!

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. It is your solemn responsibility to decide which cover song prevails. In other words … Which Side Are You On!??!

From the Frank Zappa school of supreme bizarreness …

THE CLASH of Cover Tunes

Five covers for a bizarre, quirky and somewhat obscure song?!!? I was amazed how many excellent and original covers there were for this oddball tune. I guess everyone wanted to get in on the fun. Among the great covers that did not make the cut: Adam Sandler (is there anything this guy can’t do?), The Flamin’ Groovies, The 69 Cats, The Bolivian Sunshine Dogs, Et al.

David Lindley & El Rayo-X vs. Magnolia Electric Co. vs. Elio E Le Storie Tese vs. Kidz Bop Kids vs. Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne:

I was not too thrilled with what Jackson’s career evolved into, but anyone who doubts that this was one of the finest songwriters of his time should check out his first four releases: Jackson Browne, For Everyman, Late for the Sky and The Pretender. All simply superb!

Here Jackson’s playful side is on full display. The first time I actually heard the song was from this fine bootleg.
