this year i'm thankful i didn't get gout last week. i'm also thankful i was close to getting gout last week, because the meat and beer were plentiful.

thank you: cover 1

thank you: cover 3

2009-12-01T07:50:00.021-05:00

i want to thank you for not playing the correct chords. that'd be so conformist of you.

happy covers of clapton's layla

1, 2, 3, 4: the original

2009-11-24T09:04:00.025-05:00

1, 2, 3, 4: cover 1

2009-11-24T09:04:00.024-05:00

just because you're dressed like little house on the prairie and playing a homemade mand doesn't mean you can be out of tune. fail.

1, 2, 3, 4: cover 2

2009-11-24T09:04:00.023-05:00

probably the best cover by a 11-year old boy/15-year old girl i've
seen of this song.

1, 2, 3, 4: cover 3

2009-11-24T09:04:00.022-05:00

it looks like she's auditioning for "to catch a predator." someone call chris matthews!

1, 2, 3, 4: cover 4

2009-11-24T09:04:00.021-05:00

i tried to make fun of this, but it was impossible. sometimes even people made of ice are warmed by overwhelming cuteness.

happy covers of dido's thank you.

hello, world

2009-11-18T09:35:00.003-05:00

happycoverthursday is back from its nap.

did you miss me?

hey ya: the original

2009-11-18T09:32:00.017-05:00

hey ya: cover 1

2009-11-18T09:32:00.016-05:00

hey ya + burt's bees = hey yawn.

hey ya: cover 2

2009-11-18T09:32:00.015-05:00

why have slow versions of this song taken over the hey-ya-cover internets?

hey ya: cover 3

2009-11-18T09:32:00.014-05:00

ever wake up and say "i know. i think i'll eat a bowl of broken glass for breakfast?" oh, you don't? that's probably because you aren't a mouth-breather, like the tool that thought this actually sounded like music.

hey ya: cover 4

2009-11-18T09:32:00.013-05:00

why?

hey ya: cover 5

2009-11-18T09:32:00.012-05:00

okay. this isn't really a cover. but today's post needed some freakin' win and this was all i could find.

happy covers of outkast's hey ya.

wonderwall: the original

2009-08-07T09:05:00.010-04:00

wonderwall: cover 1

2009-08-07T09:05:00.009-04:00

the lipsmacking, headbobbing, multiple camera angles, and precise yet garish editing all make this feel like some sort of highly ritualized masturabation.

wonderwall: cover 2

2009-08-07T09:05:00.008-04:00

oh god. i'm so conflicted. i really want to slap that hat off and comb your hair and then punch you in face...but your cover...it's good.

wonderwall: cover 3

2009-08-07T09:05:00.007-04:00

so nice to see female rob smith cover a poser band like wonderwall.

wonderwall: cover 4

2009-08-07T09:04:00.002-04:00

kids sing the darnedest things.

2009-08-05T08:16:00.007-04:00

this is so bad i seriously expected rick astley to jump through the glass door in the back ground screaming "rick roll!" at the end.

2009-08-05T08:16:00.006-04:00

lol.

i think she dedicated her song against obama's new evil medicare plan to kill senior citizens.

won't back down: cover 4

2009-08-05T08:15:00.017-04:00

a few more painkillers and stiff drinks and he could be the asian johnny cash...impersonator.

won't back down: cover 5

2009-08-05T08:15:00.016-04:00

a little much but certainly the best cover here today. at least she can actually hit the high notes.

"poker? i hardly know her!" also: your wall. it's very green.

poker face: cover 2

2009-07-21T10:11:00.002-04:00

rad. you kind of want to high five these dudes until you realize how much time they probably spent making the video.

poker face: cover 3

2009-07-21T10:09:00.002-04:00

just because lady gaga does a slow version of this in concert doesn't mean you should do it too. the song's only saving grace it its beat. remove that and all you've got is a weird boyfriend on the bed playing bad guitar and a pretty girl with a nice ribbon in her hair.

poker face: cover 4

2009-07-21T10:07:00.002-04:00

it's raining outside today. and apparently it's raining inside my youtube, too. this cover sounds like wet socks feel.

2009-07-16T11:43:00.001-04:00

she's probably going to bed the raddest damn girl to ever live when she grows up. that's a hell of a lot of moxie for a youngin'. her parents deserve a gold medal.

that's not my name: cover 2

2009-07-16T11:42:00.001-04:00

okay. you sang pretty well and seem cool. you can come out of the basement now. sorry we had to lock you down there but we weren't sure.

2009-07-16T11:41:00.002-04:00

that is seriously the whitest dude to ever touch a bongo. (no pun intended.) but she's not bad. why is she wasting her time with that?

classic.

bizarre love triangle: cover 1

2009-07-10T07:47:00.016-04:00

this is how i first heard the song. a really great cover by a relatively unknown australian alternative rock group that broke up in 1996.

bizarre love triangle: cover 2
