Funky Friday

Continuing the April theme, and because I couldn't find a good death metal version of Amy Grant's "Baby, Baby", we have Iron Horse's cover of "One" by Metallica.



And since I didn't post one last week, "Rocket Man" as... interpreted by... William Shatner.

Funky Friday - "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Bad News. I saw this version on MTV long before I ever heard the original. And for those keeping score, they came out the same time as "This Is Spinal Tap", but didn't get as much circulation or fame. And yes, that's two of the members of the Young Ones in the band, in character.

Funky Friday

"Stylo" by Gorillaz, continuing the story of Murdoc, 2-D, and (robot) Noodle. I think I like the video a lot more than the song, but the song's not bad.

And since I can't embed the video, here's a direct link.

Grrr....

End of the month, so it's a double header. This time two pieces from The Mountain Goats' new (as of a few months ago) album, The Life of the World to Come. It's "Romans 10:9". Weak video, good song.



And for the second part, "Ezekiel 7 and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace" from the same album.

Coldplay's "Don't Panic". Craptacular video, but this has the best audio quality methinks. And it's also available for embedding.

End of the month, so a double feature from the Blue Oyster Cult.

Starting things off with "Godzilla", from they 1980 New York concert.



And to prove that they could do upbeat poppy rock, here's "Burnin' For You".

Been a while, so let's start things wrong. "Rad Anthem" by Rad Omen. Probably not suitable for the kids, but it's still pretty good.

Funky Friday

Lots of people are all excited about the Muppet's latest musical video, a parody of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". It's good, but it's not "The Gambler" with Kenny Rogers, which is this week's Funky Friday.



End of the month, so have another. James Blunt on Sesame Street singing "My Triangle". Kinda' neat how he cleaned the original song up.

Ed Alleyne-Johnson on the electric violin, playing "Orange". No video to speak of (they even misspelled the song title), but neat tune.

I admit it, I got hooked based on this song's use in a commercial. But it's a dang good song. (shame the commercial made for a more interesting video) "Electric Worry" by Clutch.
