Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Pop Todd was interested in incongruous covers. How about really cool covers? (I'm not really sold on the video from a crappy James Franco movie...but it's about the song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScZjneRNz08 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want to celebrate the cover as a tribute and reinvention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I do love the Springsteen covers circa 1974-1978. Bruce was a student of the 60's popsong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmDqLjwrmZ8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I really wish that some other folks would cover other Bobby Fuller songs, too. He has so, so many great tunes that are BEGGING to be covered. And how about this one, played the way that it always was meant to be played:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFRx4PkXeVM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I do so love the internet. For years and years I had heard the almost mythical stories about the Late Great Bobby Fuller and how he was one of the best performers before his untimely death (some say murder) Here is the proof in the pudding. Live from c. 1966 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr2PIyNSMaM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
