Covering Your Big Black Butt
14 Oct 2005 in Music by GarrickA couple weeks back, Nina Gordon’s cover of NWA’s Straight Outta Compton got promoted to my ‘Getting Things Done’ smart playlist.
I’m a sucker for a good genre-bending cover tune - Ever since Faith No More covered the Commodores’ Easy (still a classic in my book) and the Vandals’ cover of Summer Lovin’. Then there’s the Gourd’s cover of Gangsta Lean and Gin n Juice.
This evening, I heard Jonathan Coulton cover Baby Got Back. If you haven’t - heard anything by J.C. yet, this is the place to start. It’s a thing of beauty.
