Van Halen- Jump
The list, offhand -
Peter Noone/Herman's Hermits (I'm Into) Something Good and This Door Swings Both Ways
Peter & Gordon Nobody I Know
(Always favorites, but have been singing these a lot this week since seeing both groups in concert last Sunday)
Beatles Fixing a Hole (I read the Hobbit while first listening to Sgt Pepper as a kid - it still feels like the soundtrack to the book, to me) and Penny Lane
Al Yankovic & his band - Frank's 2000" TV
Kevin Spacey's version of Bobby Darin's Beyond the Sea
Lots....
MacArthur Park -- the WAYLON JENNINGS version, that was popular on our honeymoon, way back when we were still smoking marijuana -- the chorus always surprised us, and we'd laugh out loud. "Our Song"
59th Bridge Song -- Simon and Garfunkle
I'm Pressing On -- Dylan
Angry American -- Toby Keith
Yeah, I prefer Lou's version on Rock and Roll animal, but Mott the H. version is a nice twist, IMO. ;-)
Can't say I've come across the Cowboy Junkies. Will check it out!
(Keep up the good posts!)
