If you hated the Fleetwood Mac cover posted yesterday … you’ll totally hate this even more:
Seaweed’s ain’t bad. It’s from the Clerks soundtrack:

Great trend. Homogenous white boys covering sanitized hippie rock from the 70s!
I’m holding out for the entire Barsuk roster to put together a “Freedom Rock” album.
I’ve never been so disappointed to be visiting my parents who don’t have speakers on their computer. Can’t wait until I get home!!!
Ugggggggghhhhhhh.
The Boy George version is one the most atrocious things I’ve ever had the misfortune of hearing.
thanks for putting up the Seaweed version. i haven’t heard it in a few years.
I always hold my breath when someone attempts covering a masterpiece…
Where is the NOFX version?
At a show at an Arizona university in 1991, the holy trinity of power pop (Jellyfish, Posies, Redd Kross) played together and all did this song as a finale. Jellyfish had been doing it for the whole tour.
Speaking of great duets, does anyone know a link to an mp3 of Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds doing “Careless Whispers”? WAY good a couple of nights ago but it looks like they’ve been doing it for awhile on tour.
Wilson Phillips did a version in an album of covers last year and I have to say it was really good–hushed and meditative.
yeah, i was thinking about the NOFX version which contains the twist on the lyrics like:
“if i could baby i’d give you my socks…”
classic.
well, not really.
but funny, at least.
thanks for that, i really enjoyed it. i’m not being ironic, i just actually enjoy it. i guess i’m not that cool, but fuck it.
