<p>Feist is a new one on me, I liked her. Cool gear alert: She seems to be playing a 60s Guild Starfire V. Nice axe. My HS boyfriend had one exactly like it.</p>
<p>does anyone remember the movie curly sue? the girl that played curly sue, alisan porter, is actually a very accomplished broadway actress now, with a killer voice. Here she is covering janis joplin’s “cry baby.” I’d say she’s almost as good as janis herself. </p>

I didn’t have time to comment on this before, and I hadn’t seen it before, either. Extraordinary.</p>
<h2>Some video I couldn’t find: Patti Smith doing Prince’s “When Doves Cry”. Elvis Costello covering the Beatles at Woodstock.</h2>
<p>Some I did find:</p>
<p>Kinks. The Jam:

<p>80s time…
Cover of Violent Femmes tune: <a href=“http://youtube.com/watch?v=RFooTjfEoVc[/url]”>http://youtube.com/watch?v=RFooTjfEoVc</a></p>
<p>Can’t get no: <a href=“http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNATa3JBoU[/url]”>http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZeNATa3JBoU</a></p>
<p>Maybe my favorite cover from the 80s.
Haunting version of Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren”

<p>This is only a rock video, but it’s still very cool, both for the backing vocals of Peter, Paul and Mary on one of their greatest hits, and Eric Bazilian’s great Knopfleresque guitar work. The Hooters were one of the great Philly bands that you could see on any given night at one of the local clubs back in the day, and I still see Eric at the gym now and then. <a href=“http://youtube.com/watch?v=vaf6kv0O4xo[/url]”>http://youtube.com/watch?v=vaf6kv0O4xo</a></p>
<p>m&s, you and Audio really rock. I have to go to bed, will check out that list in the morning. A cursory look did cause this to catch my eye, though…wish they had kept it going! <a href=“http://youtube.com/watch?v=XZArk2u8U4Y&mode=related&search=[/url]”>http://youtube.com/watch?v=XZArk2u8U4Y&mode=related&search=</a></p>
<p>Didn’t the Hooters have a big hit with a song that begins with a harmonium? Tried looking Hooters up on youtube, but got a very different response. </p>
<p>When I saw a cover version of “500 Miles”, I was thinking this:
<a href=“http://youtube.com/watch?v=TQH44nRvvCc[/url]”>http://youtube.com/watch?v=TQH44nRvvCc</a></p>
<p>
I think you mean “melodica,” that funny plastic wind instrument with a piano-like keyboard that gave the band its name (melodicas are called “hooters” in Jamaica). Yeah, looking up Hooters on YouTube gives you some different kind of responses, all right. I think the song you’re thinking of was “And We Danced”…begins with an extended hooter solo.</p>
<p>How about the theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore Show done by Joan Jett?</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFTP01uEcW4[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFTP01uEcW4</a></p>

<p>A must click for anyone who was a Devo fan from years back!</p>
<p>m&s, that Shatner is actually pretty good, no doubt due to the genius of Ben Folds </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How about by Husker Du? <a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYxFD9YyknI&mode=related&search=[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYxFD9YyknI&mode=related&search=</a></p>
<p>It’s hard to believe that the Joan Jetts & and Husker Dus of the world watch MTM!</p>

<p>And just for your listening/viewing pleasure…a jewel of an oldie from S&G themselves…“I Am A Rock”.</p>

<p>Absolutely MUST see homage to Kate & Anna McGarrigle by their offspring,

<p>“Prince is a musical God.”</p>
<p>He is great!!! I have been following his career since the 70’s. Yes, he has been around since then.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Joan Jett’s version is actually probably more appropriate since the Mary Tyler Moore theme song was written by Sonny Curtis - the same guy who wrote “I Fought the Law and the Law Won.”</p>
<p>RHCP do the Ramones one better. Very cool.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkF11VlmgGY&mode=related&search=[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkF11VlmgGY&mode=related&search=</a></p>
<p>ya know driver I am starting to like you …
I would have never pegged you for a RHCP fan
Thanks! :)</p>
<p>Oh and to keep my record going</p>
<p>not a cover- but again with PJ ( or at least Eddie) playing with the original artists
who in this case happen to be the Ramones- in their final stage appearance</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgNjMirc0PE[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgNjMirc0PE</a></p>
<p>and with PJ and John Frusciante- playing the Ramones
<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YVTai0QVJY[/url]”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YVTai0QVJY</a>
( ill try to find a better audio)</p>
<p>( I can’t help it I am obsessed- but it keeps me off the streets at night) ;)</p>
<p>My daughter stole all of my RHCP CDs when she left for college, and I had kind of forgotten about them until someone sent me that Brandy clip, which reminded me that Anthony Kiedis is one of the sexiest men alive and that John Frusciante is a brilliantly versatile guitarist. RHCP remind me of Jimi Hendrix…half of it I can’t stand, but the other half takes me to another planet. They are real, that’s for sure.</p>
<p>Not a cover, but oh, this is what it’s all about. Awesome. I wish I had bought YouTube before Google decided to.

<p>Fountainsiren–I love the McGarrigle Sisters and this video was wonderful. Thanks for spotlighting it.</p>
