Amazing dancer and fashion icon and oh yeah, could write music and play a bajillion instruments and sing incredibly well.

Sweet Dreams was what made them more known, for more cover relevance. Seems like that has been covered 20 times. Tainted Love by Soft Cell is also a cover, the original is from the 60's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9obvlVPJBEg

Toni Basil's "Hey Mickey" is a cover of "Kitty" by a british pop band called Racey. That's why "pity" doesn't rhyme properly in the more famous version.

It’s cynical in a way that actually makes me nauseous. And I’m cynical as hell.

fartknocker posted:Yeah, there’s a few old folk or blues songs where the original is semi obscure and there’s usually a far more famous rock version, such as Thin Lizzy’s version of Whiskey in the Jar, Van Halen’s cover of Ice Cream Man, or probably the most famous version of Crossroads being the one by Cream, to the point a lot of people don’t know it’s a cover. Yea, I tend to listen to some old blues/bluegrass/delta blues from time to time and it's always funny when an old song pops up and you realize someone else ripped it off. Canned Heat - Going Up the Country was based on Bull Doze Blues from the 1920s. City of New Orleans is a Steve Goodman song, but Arlo Guthrie's cover made it famous, and it always bugs me when people get that wrong. Carole King wrote one of the greatest albums of all time, but her most famous songs are ones she wrote for other people, or covers people did. (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, You've Got a Friend, and Will You Love Me Tomorrow are King songs that people usually attribute to others.

Freaquency posted:I’m on a plane and someone in front of me is watching the new Aquaman. It looks like poo poo. On a flight about a month ago I was middle seat and the two screens I could see in the row in front of us watched Blue Scarab and whatever the Gamestop Reddit stock movie is with the guy who did the vow of silence in Little Miss Sunshine. They looked bad enough I consider myself as having seen both movies now. Also one of those people then watched 27 Dresses, and a completely different lady in my row watched 27 Dresses on my flight home from that same trip. There are like 200 movies on there, it was a real "what are the odds" situation where two different people chose to watch a 15 year old movie on different flights. Multiple people watched that new one with Alison Brie and the Rock that I had never heard of until I saw them watching it on a plane. I assumed it was also an old movie until I saw it advertised on Hulu or something streaming at home.

It's the flying from Vegas to SF for work that's gonna suck I'll wave at you from my office at universal studios (you should see Fall Guy in case the best attraction at Universal is re-opened by then, Waterworld is turning into a Fall Guy thing which I'm very upset about and hoping it isn't permanent)

What's up crazy travel friend? Although I can't compare to those, I've had travel back home for the NCAA tournament with friends, family trip to Sedona for my mom and sister's birthdays, girlfriend's friend's wedding in Milwaukee this weekend, Utah for work in two weeks, and another flight home for a family funeral first week of May.

If you want cheap as hell, but still good, Bosch 100, failing that a 3/5/800 are probably the best bang for your buck. Just don't get a non-Bosch, that's a bad time.

Speaking of covers, be sure to check out T-Pain's On Top of the Covers album. Actually have it on right now while hanging outside. Its a great blend of cover songs.
