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

Official Song of the Gators …

The Original

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers:

Exceptional Cover

As he did with so many songs late in his career, Johnny transforms this one into his own … you’d swear it was his and not a cover and, as such, it would have been unfair and ridiculous to include it in a competition with others. As many of you have echoed, Johnny was a flat out special talent and particularly remarkable late in his career.

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!??!

The Cover Songs Competition

Two more completely different, yet superb covers:

Johnny Cash vs. Reel Big Fish

Johnny Cash:

Reel Big Fish:

Oh the disharmony! Much like Harlan County there are no neutrals here. Only one cover tune will live to play another day and it is your solemn responsibility to decide which one prevails. So tell me … Which Side Are You On?!!?

Also, keep in mind that if you should spontaneously self-actualize while playing a cover then you could – and probably should – nominate it for Top 10 (i.e. “Impeccable”) consideration.
