PopTodd Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I just remembered this one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFyy3XB_3Y4Love it.And, there's another Nina Gordon-related one that you reminded me of. Let me go grab it. Somebody post something, so that I'll be able to put the video in another post, please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 i dig that Husker cover but wouldn't rank it too highly in the 'incongruous' dept...HD was a pop band underneath the fury of their punk overcoat (they even tipped their hands early via the cover of "sunshine superman"), and they were also MN-based.

There's some cool stuff in this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 And here's one that falls into that same category as the Rodrigo y Gabriella tune:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPzZYDrA2v0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Gyrrr Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I've been known to bust out a pretty mean version of Dancing Queen. Which is incongruous when you consider that I'm a cat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dark Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wish I had a recording of this but I used to be in a quasi bluegrass trio called "Joe Bobs Revenge" and we did a bluegrass version of Skid Rows 18 and Life Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think Aimee nails it and she's not an odd choice to cover it.Covering the (original) Nilsson version makes sense, yes. But for those who only know the song via Three Dog Night, I think that it makes a lot less sense.I think that she completely nails it. It was just not something that I would have heard her playing, I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was just not something that I would have heard her playing, I guess. Fair enough...however, the Three Dog Night cover isn't that bad. The vocals are a little strong, verging on overwrought, but on the whole, I think TDN does justice to the song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The vocals are a little strong, verging on overwrought, but on the whole, I think TDN does justice to the song.Absolutely nothing against the TDN version at all. Just saying that their version is a lot better-known than the Nilsson original. And a lot less connected to the things that Aimee Mann usually does, musically. And, if one (pardon the unintentional pun) does not know the Nilsson version, which most folks don't, it seems quite incongruous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
