Covers

I did something fun in my last class that I subbed. I scoured my massive music library and found lots of cover tunes. I created a playlist of songs covered by modern day bands. Some songs were well known, some obscure, but it was fun to guess who the original artist was. I also included a bit of trivia for each of the songs: So here is my cover play list:

1. L.A. Woman - Billy Idol - The Doors, 1971 - warm-up
2. Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stevie Wonder, 1973 - jump out of the saddle during chorus. 3:12 - Sprint! Woo!
3. Mrs. Robinson- Lemonheads - Simon and Garfunkel,1968 - seated flat, fast pace.
4. Good Times/Bad Times, Cracker - Encomium: Tribute to Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin, 1969 - climb
5. The Boys Of Summer - The Ataris - Don Henley, comp. Tom Petty 1984 - sprints at chorus
6. Feeling Good - Muse - 1964 musical, The Roar of Greasepaint-the Smell of the Crowd - heavy climb....many artists have covered or sampled this song.
7. I'm A Believer - Weezer - composed by Neil Diamond, recorded by The Monkees, 1966 - fast seated flat.
8. Major Tom - Shiny Toy Guns - Peter Shilling, 1983, based on fictional character by D. Bowie, 1969 - Rest for 20 seconds, take a drink, and give your shoulders a roll. Seated flat then on the count down 4, 3, 2, 1, we are up during the chorus. Sit down in between then hover and sprint last minute of the song.
9. Gone Daddy Gone/I Just Want To Make Love To You - Gnarls Barkley - Violent Femmes, 1983 - sprints at chorus
10. It's My Life - No Doubt- Talk, Talk, 1984 - Finale, make it count, speed it up at chorus.
