Please tell me you’ve seen the movie “Zoolander”? That ridiculously awesome movie was (in my opinion) during a time when nobody was tired of Will Ferrell and his tired antics. The comedic genius of that movie was taken a step further when Ben Stiller’s title character sadly walked the streets of New York to the …

Covers Revue, Vol. 25 – Smashmouth covers "Why Can't We Be Friends?" :: Originally by WAR
Ah, Smashmouth. The band who came up with great hits such as “Walking on the Sun” and “All-Star” (look how cute Dane Cook and Joel McHale were back in 2001!). You know, I really forgot how much I like this band until just now when I was looking up their videos! Though they formed in …
Covers Revue, Vol. 24 – Atreyu covers "You Give Love a Bad Name" :: Originally by Bon Jovi
If anyone can rock leopard print tights, it’s Jon Bon Jovi. Okay, NO ONE was ever able to rock those, but hey, Bon Jovi has definitely had their fair share of success since their conception in the 80s. One of their biggest hits is “You Give Love a Bad Name,” which was covered by “metalcore” …
Covers Revue, Vol. 23 – Saosin covers "Penelope" :: Originally by Pinback
Okay, so early last week when I reviewed Autumn of the Seraphs, I totally forgot about this amazing cover that I discovered a while back! “Penelope” is the first song I ever heard by Pinback and it’s also my favorite song by them. On the surface (wait for it …), the song is about a …
Covers Revue, Vol. 22 – Whitney Houston covers "I Will Always Love You" :: Originally by Dolly Parton
Whitney Houston is more than just a lover and baker of (cocaine) brownies, y’all. I’m not sure if you remember, but Houston has an amazing voice! It’s powerful, full of range and instantly recognizable. This is displayed in her huge hit, “I Will Always Love You,” which came off the soundtrack of her movie, “The …
Covers Revue, Vol. 21 – Mike Ness covers "Don't Think Twice (It's All Right)" :: Originally by Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan. Many will agree that that name is synonymous with “influential musician.” Mike Ness certainly believes so, as he delves more into his Country roots with his debut solo, Cheating at Solitaire. The Social Distortion singer/songwriter pays homage to Dylan with his cover of “Don’t Think Twice (It’s All Right).” Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think …
Covers Revue, Vol. 20 – Lee Fields & the Expressions cover "My World is Empty Without You" :: Originally by The Supremes
Did you know that (Diana Ross &) the Supremes are America’s most successful vocal group to date? Yet another hit-maker from Motown coupled with the genius songwriting minds of Holland-Dozier-Holland, The Supremes (who didn’t have “Diana Ross and” in the title until 1967) had 12 number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100! Also, the …
Covers Revue, Vol. 19 – Counting Crows and Vanessa Carlton cover "Big Yellow Taxi" :: Originally by Joni Mitchell
When you hear the 1970 Joni Mitchell hit, “Big Yellow Taxi,” you immediately feel like you’re at an upbeat concert in the courtyard at some college campus. But then Mitchell’s voice chimes in. She sounds sweet as can be, especially with the shoooo-bop-bop-bop-bop‘s coming in every once in awhile. The song is much more powerful …
Covers Revue, Vol. 18 – Save Ferris covers "Come On Eileen" :: Originally by Dexy's Midnight Runners
Sometimes there’s that song that just puts you in the greatest mood! Though “Come On Eileen” by Dexy’s Midnight Runners was recorded in 1982, I just discovered it recently (thanks to E-603, who included it in his mash-up of awesomeness. It’s about 3/4 through “Hit Up Tonight”; track 8). I automatically fell in love with …
Covers Revue, Vol. 17 – M. Ward covers "Let's Dance" :: Originally by David Bowie
So, you got your red shoes on? Are you dancing to the song they’re playing on the radio? Well, you better be because David Bowie demands it! And you know when David Bowie tells you to jump you say, “IN WHAT SHOES!?” Your red ones, of course. Yes, David Bowie is known as an innovator …
