I just decided to hide up in my room out of the way rather than go anywhere near them, though they were on my PS3 playing Guitar Hero: World Tour and kept asking me to help them with either finishing songs or with setting stuff up.
I know it's a poor excuse but I hope you enjoyed Sarah's little filler.
Now back to a real blog, covering songs. Covering songs, to those who live under rocks, is basically just playing someone else's songs. They are generally done in three different styles. Interprative covers such as William Shatner's rendition of Rocket Man originally by Elton John. Repeats which are just the same song by a different band and the best of all of them, the Ronson Cover.
I call it the Ronson Cover as Mark Ronson is the guy who has done it with the most profits. He's not the first or the last to do it but he is the guy I will remember for doing it. I was on the topic of covers as yesterday I downloaded 'Heavy Rock/Metal Covers' which is about 700 normal songs covered by Metal bands. Everthing from Sex Bomb by Megadeath to Eyeless by Bring Me The Horizon, it covers everything.
While listening to them I began to look for more and found loads of other covers I feel are worth a mention. I detest Avenged Sevenfold, as I which they would do something original, but the USC's Marching Bands version is absolutely brilliant. Cornershop's song Brimful of Asha was pretty good but Fatboyslim fixed it up to something quite amazing. My last one I'm going to cover today is by far the greatest of all covers. Travis Barker is the legendary drummer of Blink-182 is much cooler than the band he was in and since the band has ended has basically just pissed around. In his cover and remix of Crank That he manages to turn the most annoying hip-hop around into something that is highly amusing. Check it below.
