In the last of our four Beatles editions of Who Did It Better, we’re listening to two very different versions of Ringo Starr’s “Don’t Pass Me By”. The first, a straightforward rocker by the Georgia Satellites, and the second, a very esoteric mishmash by Field Music.

“Don’t Pass Me By” – The Beatles (unavailable on iTunes)

Original versions of songs you know better by their covers! On tonight’s show, you’ll hear songs made famous by The Eagles, Madonna and Ace of Base, just to name a few.
Thanks to a very unusual summer cold (which left as quickly as it came, but took my voice with it), shows are going to change schedules slightly over the next couple days:
Who Did It Better 30 (Ringo edition) will be this coming Monday, Aug. 30th.
Coverville 699 (Originalville) might be this afternoon, but will most likely be tomorrow, and
Coverville 700 will hopefully be Thursday.
I’ll post uStream details on Twitter and Facebook when they become available.
In the meantime, Coverville 500 performer Natalie Gelman has a new album coming out, and she needs your help.
