| Walking On Sunshine Träumeler-Musig Ebikon |
Brass band cover of the 80s classic. This Basic Instructions comic says this "is still the best musical shorthand for happiness.", but I wanted to find a cover of it. |
|
| Fast Car (feat. Dakota) [Radio Edit] Jonas Blue |
Club-ish cover. Background music at IKEA, of all places. The song has been on my mind after I participated in a Tufts A Cappella groups distanced cove of it. (Tracy Chapman went to Tufts but I don't think she liked it.) |
|
| Pachuco Maldita Vecindad y Los Hijos del Quinto Patio |
Don't know the genre of this Latinx music but I dig it. Playing on a radio station in GTA5 |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Yesterday (feat. India Carney) Scary Pockets |
Funk cover. Now I'm hearing about Scary Pockets everywhere, didn't realize it was the Pomplamoose/Patreon guy. |
| Chasing Cars Snow Patrol |
Pop. This tumblr entry What was it about Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol that sent TV producers in the mid-2000s absolutely buck wild? |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Hot Girl Megan Thee Stallion |
Not to be confused with "Hot Girl Summer", pretty good sex rap, big WAP energy. Theme song, with puppets, from "A Black Lady Sketch Show" on HBO |
| Marble Machine Wintergatan |
Machine made music with marbles. Like that old 3D card graphics demo but... unbelievably real? |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | Get By Talib Kweli |
Uplifting Hip Hop, nice instrumentals. Mentioned in Patrisse Khan-Cullors' book "When They Call You A Terrorist" as an empowering performance. |
| The Girl from Ipanema Elise Trouw |
Sweet cover. Gives the impression of being a one-person show? I always want the lyric to be "But each day when she walks to the sea, she looks straight ahead not at he" despite the grammer. |
|
| My Medicine Snoop Dogg |
This version has Willie Nelson backing the chorus, which my version doesn't. Mentioned in Cracked's Facts about Snoop Dogg |
|
| ★ ★ ★ ★ | drivers license Olivia Rodrigo |
I am a sucker for high school nostalgia stuff. Even before she performed it live there SNL had a almost promotional skit about it. |
| Memphis Tennessee Elvis Presley |
Rockabilly, liked it a little better than Chuck Berry's original. The reveal is a bit jarring til your realize he's singing about an estranged daughter. The Johnny Rivers version of this song was allegedly played in Vietnam. |
|
| Killing Me Softly (feat. India Carney) Scary Pockets |
I think the last of the Scary Pockets covers for me for a while |
|
| Wannabe ala NiN OpenAI Jukebox |
An AI trained on Nine Inch Nails is then told to try to finish up "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. |
