I dunno...Why don't we toss in The Who blending "Cobwebs and Dust" with "Boris the Spider"?

Hey Midnite Bob,

I know you aren't directing this at me, but it sounding like a fun and imaginative way to spend a few minutes. grin

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald -- The Beatles (in the style of "Norwegian Wood")

Sundown -- The Beatles (In the style of "Get Back")

If You Could Read My Mind -- Smokey Robinson (In the style of "Tracks of My Tears")

Rainy Day People -- The Monkees (in the style of "Daydream Believer")

Carefree Highway -- Edwin Starr (in the style of "War) laugh
...lol...just kidding...seriously, why not Diana Ross (In the Style of "Sweetest Hangover")

At any rate, I dare you, now, NOT to think of a scruffy Paul, on a rooftop, belting out "Sundown"...I mean...isn't that on "Let It Be" ... ?!?

BTW "Early Morning Rain" was not mentioned, but has been widely covered, including one by Paul Weller, formerly of "the Jam" and "the Style Council" ...and by "Peter, Paul, and Mary" to name a couple.

Cheers,
Mike



Midnite Bob,

Imagining Paul Mccartney singing "Sundown" in the style of "Get Back" makes me a drug addict???

I think rather, it makes you have a lack of imagination!

When you said "But can you imagine anything of his being covered"
I sat for a minute, and I was easily able to imagine those artists singing those songs. To suggest that doing so makes me a drug addict is your problem, not mine. If it is an attempt at humor, I am not laughing. My post was a lighthearted attempt at having fun, and NOWHERE in it do I say anything to illicit such a response.

For the record, I have to be up at 4 AM most mornings to care for my dying 92 year old mother. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me before making such an offensive and judgmental statement to me; it tells me more about you than it does about me, however.

Mike
