Hurra Torpedo - "All The Things (S)he Said"

This is pretty awesome.

If the original "Don't Stop Believin'" is a 10, the Glee version is a 9.25.

 

[Mattdotcom]

I think you''re one decimal place off.

 

[BurningPirateShipSex]

I think you''re one decimal place off.

You're right, it is a 92.5.

 

[BUTT]

If the original "Don't Stop Believin'" is a 10, the Glee version is a 9.25.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's the only Glee cover I like. It would be better if they just let Lea Michele handle the whole thing because the guy on the song can't sing worth shit. On a side note, after what I thought was a promising first few episodes or so, I really wish that show didn't exist.

 

[Czech]

With extreme trepidation about eliciting "CZECH HATES ANYTHING POPULAR!" howls, I think I'd like Glee more if it hadn't become such a phenomenon. I know that shouldn't affect whatever enjoyment I derive from watching it, but in a world where so many people (and not just Gary Floyd) define themselves on the internet by Liking Things, the whole Glee thing is a little tiresome now.

Oh, and everyone is pitch-corrected as fuck! Does that not bother anyone else after a while?

 

[BUTT]

I just think it's a show unworthy of becoming such a phenomenon. As a comedy, it's not that funny (Jane Lynch has a few good lines here and there but besides that, eh). As a drama, the serious moments are forced, hacky and not particularly well-written. As a musical, well, the soundtrack consists more or less of straight covers of pop hits and show tunes, voices Auto-tuned to all Hell (and while this works in some cases, since as I noted earlier, that male lead can not sing, they do it to everybody, with the occasional shot-for-shot remake of a well-known music video to kill a few minutes. That prissy high-voiced gay kid is one of the most unlikable characters on TV, and it's hard to say that because I don't want to seem like the homophobic "FUCK THAT GAY-ASS HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL CRAP SINGING IS FOR FAGS" guy - in fact, my favorite thing about the show (other than Lea Michele) is how unapologetically (spell check is giving me some shit over this word but do I care?), uncompromosingly gay it is - but he is douchier than most. None of these characters are likable. Of course, there are a lot of bad TV shows that are really popular, but man, this one got 19 Emmy nominations and every critic seems to love it. Then again, I'm notorious around here for my awful taste in everything, so maybe my criticism of Glee should be considered an endorsement of its quality.

god damn tv shows

Hurra Torpedo - "All The Things (S)he Said"

This is pretty awesome.

They have alot of pretty awesome covers on youtube, but I'm too lazy and on too shitty of an internet connection to look for them right now.


As far as the Glee talk goes, I still watch it, but alot of the time I hate myself for it. The show was much better in season 1 before it became a huge phenomenon. It was actually a TV show back then, instead of a giant billboard for whatever fox and/or the SPECIAL GUEST STAR OF THE WEEK wanted to sell you.

I think you''re one decimal place off.

You're right, it is a 92.5.

A minus is definitely what I'd call it.

In light of the swell in Big Star related posts, here's the Big Star cover that introduced me to them and a Big Star cover I had no idea existed until two minutes ago.

Jeff Buckley - Kangaroo

THE BANGLES --- SEPTEMBER GURLS

 

[Incandenza]

The Bangles cover isn't the worst thing in the world, but I'm so emotionally attached to the original that it's impossible for me to fairly judge any version of the song that wasn't performed and recorded by Big Star for the album Radio City. Similarly, Evan Dando does a not bad "The Ballad of El Goodo," but come on.

 

[Mattdotcom]

Tom Jones - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

 

[Byron The Bulb]

I finally heard that Glee cover of Don't Stop Believing. It's neat. That girl's got some pipes.

 

[Mattdotcom]

Soundgarden - Big Bottom Girls (Spinal Tap Cover)

 

[Kilroy]

Single Ladies - The Pigs with John Williamson on Jaw Harp

 

[Star Ocean 2]

RHCP - Roller coaster of love

Now here's a cover better than the original.

 

[Kinetic]

I don't know about that. You can hear a girl die on the Ohio Players version.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

But the RHCP one features Beavis and Butthead.

Zombie Apocalypse - Welcome to the Jungle (Guns n Roses Cover)

Firewind - Maniac Video

Muse • Knights of Cydonia Symphonic [Ian Cologne]

 

[Star Ocean 2]

THIS IS IT

Michael Hutchence - The Passenger

BOOYAKA FROM THE BEST MOVIE SOUNDTRACK

 

[Red Baron]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, HELPLESS

Probably one of the best covers I've heard in a long time. Cave does a great job making it into his own.

 

[tekcop]

Tori Amos Houston 10-31-01 =02-Raining Blood


I don't really like it, but I was really into Tori Amos and Slayer at the same time for a while, so....

 

[Haws Bah Gawd]

Where the wild roses grow - Kamelot feat. Chanty Wunder

Jorn Lande - Feel Like Making Love

Epica - Replica (Fear Factory cover)

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Tori Amos covering Slayer enraged me when I heard about it. At least her version is haunting and atmospheric...but the strength of that song isn't the lyrics, sooooo...

Playing this for people and asking them to guess what song it is proves fun.
no cheating
