    You think that’s blasphemous?

    I had to ask myself, who would even be crazy enough to do a cover version of the execrable “Save Your Kisses for Me”? Walking, talking embarrassment Bobby Vinton, apparently!



    I also recently discovered a low-charting single called “Flame” by Steve Sperry. This song absolutely flabbergasted me, as it had to be the worst song I had ever heard. So bad that I couldn’t believe it really existed! So bad that I had to share this song with others, just so I could look at the looks on their faces as they listened to it. Anyway, I went on a Discogs deep dive on this musical abomination and discovered that somebody had actually done a cover version of it! Who, you ask? Why, Bobby Vinton, of course!



    I still can’t bring myself to listen to either song.

    Tighter, anyway. The Dead were really loose in concert...but generally managed, despite appearances, not to fall completely apart.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Well...how did I never know this Big Band version of a Sandrose song existed until now?

    Those were, um, interesting. I think I would like them better if the singer did not stretch so high out of her range.

    Okay, so I went down a rathole looking for Pink Floyd covers, and came up with these two beauts:

    More than most Pop stars, I've been impressed with Miley's musicianship, but this seems like a misstep. The alto sounds odd and she didn't own the song at the level her into would suggest, "I do this song for me"
    Duncan's going to make a Horns Emoticon!!!

    A cover of Tangerine Dream's "Poland" by a student orchestra using acoustic instruments.
    Available as an EP along with Charly the Kid from Firestarter and Love on a Real Train from Risky Business under the name AN ORCHESTRAL DREAM by Thomas Rydell.

    Now that's a cover I didn't see coming. I wonder who came up with the idea? A student or the director? Either way, they did a really nice interpretation.

    Yesterday I heard this:



    These albums were made so parents and their children could enjoy the same music at parties. The audience was recorded, while playing the tape of the music.
    There will be a CD-box released with 20 CDs by James Last, containing the Non-stop dancing albums.

    Apparently there's also a version of "Silver Machine."

    Several members of Lucifer's Friend played on at least one of the Non Stop Dancing albums. Also, JLO member Karl-Hermann Lüer was briefly a member of LF (playing woodwinds and violin on Mind Exploding)

    Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft from Klaatu covered by The Carpensters has been posted in a couple of other threads (it even has a thread from 2013 on its own!), but it's nice to post it here again.
