Thank Frankie it’s Friday.
It’s the weekend, like. So let’s party!
Even better: let’s engage in another round of music bants. Still no voucher, but you’ve all proved that your love runs deeper.
This week’s theme comes courtesy of The Millie Obnoxious (a misnomer surely) who writes:
“May I offer a suggestion? Karaoke songs. What do you belt out when gee-eyed and in the mood for a sing song?”
You’d have to ask my neighbours.
Update: They just got back to me. Apparently it’s this one.
Lines MUST close on Saturday at Midday.
Please include video links if possible.
Meanwhile….
Last week, SOQ asked for your favourite cover version. A really great playlist unfurled. But Micko won my esteem with this entry…
…Johnny Cash – Hurt, covering Trent Reznor and NIN.
Micko sez:
“In fact all the covers on that ‘American IV’ album are brilliant. Especially Hung my Head, The Man comes around and Personal Jesus. Rick Rubin’s production is savage. Amazing versions all, but I think ‘Hurt’ nails it, coz it just perfectly sums up Johnnys life.
‘He’d just died when I first saw it and even though I wasn’t the worlds biggest Johnny Cash fan at the time, I remember tearing up watching it.
‘Something about the distortion on the piano at the end, , the way it hammers down, just gets me ever single time. I think it’s the finality of it. Perfect…”
Nick says: Well done, Micko and thanks all.
Last week: Win Nick’s Esteem
