The song on this video is pretty funny and I just had to share this with you. I heard it a few months ago on Adam Curry’s Podcast “The Daily Source Code.” I was going to post it then but forgot about it until the other day when a friend of mines wife emailed it to everyone.
The name of the artist is Rodney Carrington and the song is “Show Them To Me.” I don’t know a whole lot about the guy but I do know that his style predominantly country and he writes some damn funny songs.
Check it out and be sure you listen to the words closely because you will crack a smile.
Behold, another entertaining find for you in the wonderful world of music. Here’s a site that lists some of what they think are the worst covers song ever.
Not sure why “Layla” made the list but Olivia Newton-John doing the Johnny Cash classic “Ring of Fire” certainly belongs.
For the record I would like to add a song by the late 80’s Glam metal band Faster Pussycat doing a cover of Carly Simon’s “Your So Vain.” What the hell where they thinking?
Do you have any nasty cover songs you’d like to share? You can share them with the rest of us in the comments below.
It received quite a few votes on Digg the other day so there must be something to it. However, I not so sure any of them are quite as foolproof as my 4 simple steps to avoid a hangover. Cheers!
Is it just me or is there something addictive about these festivals? I was tied to the TV yesterday for a good portion of the morning and much of the evening checking out the Live Earth coverage. When I wasn’t watching I was thinking about it.
I was able to see a ton of different artists which is always cool. Here are some of the thoughts I had as I watched them perform.
Cool to see Roger Waters doing some vintage Floyd. The floating pig was a nice touch.
I found myself tapping my toe to Duran Duran. I feel a little dirty about this considering how much I disliked them in my youth.
I wonder if the guitar player for Linkin Park is bored to death.
Watched Metallica perform my least favorite songs by them.
I just know I heard a steel guitar during one of the Bon Jovi tunes. Does that make them country now? If I were to look for their music would I look in the country section? Just curious.
I didn’t realize that Macy Gray was so outspoken.
Like her or not there is something cool about Madonna playing a Les Paul dressed like Lucille Ball (my wife pointed that out). Even cooler is the fact that she was actually playing it. She’s a pro.
I could go on all day but I will stop. I just wanted to get out a post on Live Earth. Just didn’t feel right to not say anything, especially considering that I this is a music site.
Oh, and one last thing. I think that it is great that all of these bands hooked up to promote this worthy cause, it is way overdue, but there is something that just doesn’t sit right with me when I listen to these mega popular artists preach to me between songs. I’m not questioning their motives, it just doesn’t feel right. Here is an article I found where one of the Pet Shop Boys weighs in on Live Earth. He gives us a little food for thought next time we are watching a similar event.
I would almost bet that you like a song or two from international superstar and activist Paul David Hewson. But were you into the music of Hugh Anthony Cregg? Or how about Stanley Harvey Eisen?
Who the hell are these people you say?
Well, believe it or not, they are rock stars. Check out this list to see who you know them as.
I find it very hard to disagree with a few of the songs on this list. The James Blunt song certainly grinds on me. I think it is something with that voice
La Macarena could actually be higher in my opinion. I was around throughout the 90’s and I was a DJ that had to play the song frequently for drunken college co-eds. It was everywhere and it was endless.
Anyway, that’s my two cents. Are there any other songs you think are be missing from the list?
I think he needs a few more cigarettes stuck under the strings on the headstock.. hehe…Nice find keep ‘em coming…
I too appreciate the trade mark cigarette on the headstock and since Keith wants more, he gets it. Here’s a video I found of Eddie putting on some sort of exhibition. This isn’t one of his best performances but he has the cigarette and, what I think is, one hell of a buzz.
Check out the video and see if you can guess what his blood alcohol level is.
How many times can you hear a song that you like (or love) before you just can not stand it anymore because it is overplayed to death? Whether it is on the radio, on a jukebox, performed by a cover band or God forbid…karaoke. I have a few that I would like to share with you. Maybe it is just where I live.
1) “You Shook Me All Night Long” by AC/DC – It’s fucking everywhere. They have too many other good songs to play than to be pounding away on this one every day.
2) “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Would be much better in smaller doses.
3) “Sweet Emotion” by Aerosmith – Again, good band with a ton of other stuff to play.
4) “Crazy Train” Ozzy Osbourne – Great song, great guitarist. Let’s just put it away for awhile.
5) “Takin’ Care of Business” – BTO – Not sure if I ever need to hear this one again.
I am sure I missed some. I’m sure you have one or two you’d like to add to the list so don’t just sit there, put your hands on the keyboard and type something.
I came across this on Digg.com this morning and thought I would pass it along. Evidently Motley Crue have either a ton of time on there hands, a bone to pick with Paris Hilton or both. They have started a petition to counter a petition that is attempting to keep Paris Hilton out of jail for her drinking and driving.
