Betty Dylan on Coverfreak

Hey kids, it's No Theme Week! Let's get right to it.

Betty Dylan "Brand New Key" (Melanie)
My good friend George Blowfish sent me this one. I had never heard of Betty Dylan before, but I'm a believer now. Great guitar riffing.

The Waco Brothers "The Harder They Come" (Jimmy Cliff)
Turning reggae songs into two-fisted rockers is a Good Thing.

Big Daddy "Graceland" (Paul Simon)
I first heard of Big Daddy when they covered "Eye of the Tiger" as a doo-wop tune. Uncle Flakey turned me on to this one and I think the song works much better with the faux Elvis arrangement

The Lost Prophets "Cry Me A River" (Justin Timberlake)
Being an old fart, Justin Timberlake was pretty much off my radar until "Dick In A Box" became unavoidable. You'll need to stick with this one for a minute or two. It starts out sounding much like the original, but then the guitars come roaring in.

Ben Folds Five "She Don't Use Jelly" (Flaming Lips)
I just can't resist a good cha-cha. It's a deep-seated character flaw.
