Yellow is one of my favorite Coldplay songs, and the Petra Haden/Bill Frizell version doesn’t disappoint in the least. Thanks for playing such a beautiful song.
Great show. I had forgotten about Jackie Chan’s duet. Good to hear Bourgeois Tagg again as well.
Great show, Brian! Petra Haden’s Coldplay cover was cool, I was really impressed with the Ani DiFranco/Jackie Chan duet! However, the band Snow Patrol should never be allowed to rap…ever.
Can I get a clarification on the contest? Is it possible that one of the artists is the originator of the song? For example, If the question was “Bob Dylan, The Byrds, and William Shatner” could the answer be “Mr. Tambourine Man”? Or would I have to look for a song that Bob Dylan covered as well?
Glad you asked! The list of artists that I provide will sometimes include the original artist, not just the ones that have covered it.
