What happens when you take the most annoying song ever — Crazy by Knarles Barkley — and have one of the best grunge bands from the 80s/90s — Violent Femmes — to ever record a song (maybe) about masturbation or kicking heroin (nobody really knows…) — Blister in the Sun? Give up?

Cover vs. Original
Posted in music, music face off, soundtrack to your life with tags cover songs, happy love songs are lies, joan jett, love hurts, nazareth, rock throw down on October 28, 2009 by thedithFact: Covers of songs usually suck. Oftentimes, its not necessarily the fault of the artist doing the song cover, it’s just that the original was kind of a classic, and you just can’t improve upon a classic. You can’t.
Little Discussed Fact: Sometimes covers are better than the original song. Maybe it’s because the original kind of sucked, or maybe it’s because the artist doing the cover has completely re-arranged the structure of the song making it almost like a new song entirely — but for whatever reason, you hear the cover, and you think, “this is a really tight cover!”
This post is about those songs…
