Digg me (please?)
Cyndi Lauper’s cover of At Last (plus the album picture in the AAC feed) completely blew my pre-conceptions of Cyndi. Not one of my favourite artists, but, I am going to listen to this complete album.
My favourite cover of Mack the Knife still has to be Ella Fitzgerald’s live recording from her Berlin concert. Ella lost the lyrics during the performance and improvised new ones on the spot. Fortunately the concert was being recorded. The track went on to win a Grammy.
I have to agree with you Ian re Mack tne Knife. It’s my mood buster. No matter how bad the day Ella doing ‘Mac the Knife’ never fails to make me smile.
Lyle Lovett’s “Moritat” was originally from the movie “Quiz Show,” where it played over the closing credits. Also in that movie, Bobby Darin’s “Mack the Knife” played over the opening credits. Now there’s an interesting thing to ruminate on — how many movies have two different cover versions of the same song on their soundtrack? (I’m sure there are quite a few.)
“All She Wants To Do Is Dance” by Glenn Frey?? 😉 Hehe…we knew what you meant. 😀
Years of working in a big-chain-coffee-shop-that-shall-remain-nameless has forever turned me off to any version of Mack the Knife. I swear if they could pipe that song into their stores 24-7, they would do it, and the end result is I can barely listen to it anymore.
FYI – that Queens cover is off of the “Stone Age Complications” EP, not “Songs/Deaf…”
that EP also featured a Subhumanz cover, a Cramps cover, an UNKLE remix of “No One Knows” and two B-Sides, “The Bronze” and “Born To Hula”
FYI, the surname is “Weill” with a W and it’s pronounced like the English word “vile.”
