Great show! Great versions that bent, but didn’t break, the originals. I wasn’t very impressed with Cover Me. I think it’s too hungover to kickstart an episode. Also, this is one of those covers that has a great premise, but then doesn’t really do anything with it.
Personally, I love blues and blues-based things, and a love the groove that Bennett has given the theme.
Love the show. But you made a mistake on the intro to the Vince Welnick/Tubes song. Vince took over for the keyboardist Brent Mydland when he passed in 90. Actually both Vince and Bruce Hornsby took over for Brent. Bruce’s schedule didn’t allow him to tour with the band, so he only sat in occassionally. Thanks for the Vince cover though.
Thanks for reminding me why I HATE that Britney Spears song. “Give me a sign” that you still love me, “hit me one more time.” The creepy voices in the background pleading “Hit me!” really brings home the spousal abuse side of this song.
The Cover Me track was great but not sure if it isn’t a bit dark for your theme tune.
The Hit Me Baby cover was excellent!
I did not like the version of Cover Me as it seemed like it did not flow well musically. The Blues version was OK, but for some reason, Garage Band clipped the beats wrong.
The Bennett version of Cover Me was a little slow and draggy, I think the theme music should stand out a little more. The quest for a theme should go on….
G’day Brian,
Just got a chance to listen to this show. Thanks for playing my quiz, I wasn’t expecting it and I felt like a real rock star listening to myself in the car.
Cheers
Anna
