I have a love/hate relationship with covers. If the artist is attempting to be serious and cover one of my favorite songs, I am usually disappointed or annoyed. On the other hand, when the original song is stupid in the first place or immensely popular, I get a strange pleasure from hearing the song get butchered.
I am experimenting with a few flash-based mp3 players on this site, and will be adding playlists for my various cover song collections as I get around to it. To get things started here are some of my favorite “punk/humorous” covers.
Jason’s Favorite Punk/Humorous Covers
Here is another playlist. This is a Carpenters tribute album with some great tracks, particularly “Superstar” by Sonic Youth. They really bring out the dark, co-dependent, depressing nature of most Carpenters lyrics. Very sad…
