Someone made a country song out of George Strait song titles.  I can't decide if I like it or think it is lazy.

 

God damn I’m glad ya’ll set it off…

 

Up on Cripple Creek (The Band)
Spike Jones

Smoke on the Water (Deep Purple)
Zappa

I Dig Rock and Roll Music (Peter, Paul & Mary)
Mamas & Papas, Beatles, Donavan

From Hank to Hendrix (N. Young)

Faron Young (Prefab Sprout)

Hey 19(Steely Dan)
Aretha

Bob Wills is still the King (Waylon)

Drunken Angel (Lucinda)
Doesn’t say a name but you know who

Blaze’s Blues(Townes Van Zandt)
Same as above

By a legend about a legend...

I also liked how the Ataris changed 'Deadhead' to 'Black Flag' in their cover.

Who?

Soundgarden’s Jesus Christ Pose was written about Perry Farrell because Cornell was annoyed that he always tried to portray himself as a persecuted outsider in interviews after he had already become a successful musician and music festival founder.



Who?

Introducing this song in concerts, Williams has explained that she wrote it about her friend Blaze Foley, a songwriter who was shot and killed in a bar over a senseless argument. Townes Van Zandt, who was also a friend of Foley's, wrote a song about him called "Blaze's Blues."

"(Let's All) Turn On"

Shake some action, psychotic reaction
No satisfaction, sky pilot, sky Saxon
That's what I like
That's what I like
Blitzkrieg bop to the jailhouse rock
Stop, stop at the hop, do the bluejean bop
That's what I like
That's what I like

Better get off my cloud 'cause two's a crowd
Better get off the phone, there's nobody at home
I'm gonna work it on out, I'm gonna twist and shout
I'm gonna ride a white swan and get it on
Let's all turn on

Born to lose those summertime blues
In blue suede shoes, le Hoodoo Gurus
That's what I like
That's what I like
Waiting for my man, baby, can the can
I wanna hold your hand, remember Sam the sham?
That's what I like
That's what I like

Better get off my cloud 'cause two's a crowd
Better get off the phone, there's nobody at home
I'm gonna work it on out, I'm gonna twist and shout
I'm gonna ride a white swan and get it on
Let's all turn on

When you walk in the room, sunny afternoon
A-wop-bop a-loo-bop, a-lop-bam-boom
That's what I like
That's what I like
Sugar, sugar, talk, talk, money, honey, boardwalk
Who wears short shorts? (we wear short shorts)
That's what I like
That's what I like
That's what I like

I like both bands and never knew that angle behind the song.  Loved Bloodletting in general.

I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from tryin'

 

Wanda Jackson cover

I was thinkin' 'bout Jerry Lee

Rock Show - Jimmy Page


Monkey - Ben Folds

It's an homage of a Johnny Cash medley.  If you let the layers wash over you, it's pretty fucking brilliant.  From a bunch of Brixton street toughs:

 

Eagles-Hotel California (Steely Dan), as payback for Steely Dan-Everything You Did (Eagles)
Grand Funk Railroad-An American Band (Freddie King)
ELO - Shagri-la (Beatles, and "Hey Jude")
Billy Joe Shaver-Tramp on Your Street (Hank Williams)
Chuck Berry-Roll Over Beethoven
A couple more about John Lennon:  Paul McCartney-Here Today, Elton John-Empty Garden
John Lennon-How Do You Sleep (Paul McCartney)
Bruce Springsteen-Thunder Road (Roy Orbison)
Steely Dan-FM (Elvis)
REM-Man on the Moon (Mott the Hoople, Elvis)
Commodores-Nightshift (Marvin Gaye)
The Who-The Seeker (Dylan, Beatles)
A couple of "list songs": Tex Ritter-Hillbilly Heaven; George Jones-Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes
Neil Young-My My, Hey Hey (Johnny Rotten)

as in the one song above, Barclay James Harvest-Titles (the lyrics are all Beatles song titles/lyrics), actually a pretty cool song, I really dig it (this video cannot be more 70's, with that All the Young Dudes opening...)

 

Not explicitly, but this one was written about Janis.

 

 

 

Billy Joel - All You Wanna Do Is Dance ( when will the Beatles get back together).

Life is a Rock( But the Radio rolled Me)

Bravo!  

 

And after touring with the Cowboy Junkies, TVX wrote this one for them...not so much about them.  I LOVE this version...so much better than the studio version, and even the Cowboy Junkies.
