Christmas Songs that are not carols Fairytale of New York - Pogues Father Christmas - Kinks Merry Christmas Baby - Otis Redding White Christmas - Darlene Love Christmas All Over Again - Tom Petty & The Heartnreakers

not a carol car·olˈkerəl/noun 1. a religious folk song or popular hymn, particularly one associated with Christmas.

Los Lobos: La Bamba, before Richie Valens. Bowie's China Girl before Iggy Pop (though, since they both wrote it, I suppose it isn't a cover. But, Iggy's was definitely released before Bowie's.)

Vanilla Ice's silliness has more to do with being Vanilla Ice, and less with his chosen cultural appropriation. Though white artists in hip hop are the minority, the Beastie Boys and Eminem are legit.

Ha. That's the first thing I thought of when I read Drake's name further up the thread.

I Call Your Name. Heard the Mamas and Papas version before I heard the Beatles version.

Metrarail and red line?

I saw that and thought, "really? huh," Looked it up. Performed one time on March 27, 1988, for a total of 57 seconds. Nice.

Calexico's version was the first that I heard.

Kinks?

Someone on this site said this to me, and I pass it on to you: I'm jealous that you have yet to see the Wire. And Mad Men too. Both are very smart well-written shows.

It's definitely up there w The Wire, Sopranos, and Breaking Bad for best shows ever.

Now you're messing with...

jinx

Nazareth's Love Hurts. Looks like Everly Brothers recorded it first. Never heard it.

heard Talking Heads' Take Me To The River before Rev. Al Green's.

dammit

This Tigers fan misses Dave Dombrowski.

Pretty sure I heard Nirvana's version of Man Who Sold The World before Bowie. Definitely heard "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" before Leadbelly's. Definitely heard every version of any song by Robert Johnson before hearing the original.

Yeah, Green Day definitely has their share of plundering. I wonder how they've avoided lawsuits. Here's another one: Their "Maria" is a photocopy of The Avengers (a seminal Bay Area punk band, so Green Day definitely would have been aware of them) Thin White Line,

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven before Spirit's Taurus.

If you think high ranking Dems weren't wary of going to war with the Clinton machine... They all knew the position (and superdelegates votes) were already spoken for.
