(All supposedly done in a single take, at that.  Even if not, how cool is this?)

Too good to wait until Wednesday. First off, click on Shakira’s She Wolf video (not shared here because her record label hates its customers). Then hit play on the (video) cover below.

Love it. More about the covering artist here.

Hint:  The chorus is not – as someone may have once thought – “The little-assed birds sing the pretty-assed songs.”

The Baseballs’ take on Rhianna’s Umbrella:

It struck me as a little hokier than my tastes usually run, at first.  I’ve noticed that I’m not hitting FF as often as I used to, when it comes up . . .

Picked up a goodly number of new musical interests on the trip, which I’ve been meaning to share.

The Living End’s Second Solution

(Really, the versions available online don’t do it justice. If you’re a rock fan, do yourself a favor and track it down.)

Paul Kelly’s Every Fucking City:

(“All the bright young things were throwing up their Guinness in the gutters, and once I thought I saw you from afar . . .”

The Waifs – The Haircut

Haircut – The Waifs

All are good, but really, I’m sure I’ll find a copy of everything the Waifs have ever done, by the end of the year.

If you checked my iPod’s play history for the past few weeks, you’d see these near the top:

G4Gorilla’s I Wanna Dance With One Of These On My Mind (Whitney Houston, Pet Shop Boys, & Eagles)

DJ Schmolli’s Justice for Billie Jean (Justice, Michael Jackson, & C+C Music Factory).  Click to play, or right click to save:

And at a different pace, but on the same theme, Mighty Mike gives us a great remix of the Killers & Supergrass:
