These aren’t necessarily bad covers. They’re just not outstanding. And I had no idea that it was Dylan who wrote that weird but cool Mighty Quinn nonsense til just the other day.
I Heard It Through The Grapevine (The Miracles Cover) – Kaiser Chiefs
Gimme Some Lovin’ (The Spencer Davis Group Cover) – The Radiators
Quinn The Eskimo [The Mighty Quinn] (Bob Dylan Cover) – The Radiators
Livin’ On A Prayer (Bon Jovi Cover) – The Boat People

Actually, I don’t like that Boat People cover at all I’ve decided. Maybe it is bad after all. Thoughts?
And can you believe it’s March already? Ridiculous.

Nice post… Agree with thoughts on covers. You’d wonder what the Kaiser Chiefs are doing ?

The Boat People track sounds like some early Nintendo game background music. I now have the urge to jump in the air and slam my head on a mushroom, releasing a coin and turning it into a gold key giving me the financial freedom we all dream of!
Meh on the Kaiser Chiefs track, rock on Gimme Some Lovin’ (I don’t think it’s possible to make that song sound bad), not bad at all on The Mighty Quinn.
I’ve done a few cover posts and was thinking of doing another; at the rate my work schedule allows me time to mess with my blog, it may be July or August before it’s posted!

Chris, you are so right about the whole Nintendo thing! Made me laugh. Definitely time for a covers post, I’m feeling too lazy to go and source any new ones for myself right now, better for me to mooch off the cover posts of others I reckon. Bring it on!

The Boat People song is a bit strange, to say the least.

Oh but of course you are, especially when you clearly feel the need to so forcefully! Covers have such a way of bringing out one’s true feelings don’t they?
