Not Fade Away by Buddy Holly is nice, but I like the Stones' version better.

She is an incredible singer.

She's so unusual!

That's why I believe she's not taken too seriously.

When I first listened to "She's So Unusual" way back when, I felt the entire album was well done on many levels.  I didn't know she wasn't taken seriously.  If she wasn't maybe it was because some people didn't appreciate "She bop" and the message that everyone does it!

I mean, there's a lot of humor and fun in the album, but Frankly those definitely belong in music in my book!  ?

I played songs off that album often when I was a DJ.

Didn't we already "cover" Song to the Siren in this thread? ?

[Notes_Norton]

I have a great memory, it's just a little short.

OK then:

Giant Sand - Red Right Hand

 

[Wibbles]

Nell and The Flaming Lips - Red Right Hand

 

[Wibbles]

Snoop Dogg - Red Right Hand

 

[Wibbles]

I seem to have ended up in the wrong thread. ?

[Wibbles]

Oh well ...

Household Dogs - Red Right Hand

 

[Wibbles]

@pwalpwal There's quite a few Nick Cave covers that Nell Smith did with The Flaming Lips here (YouTube playlist):

 

That's something I would probably come across if you hadn't posted Giant Sands.

bit disappointed by that lp tbh

I found it a bit mixed. There were a few tracks I really liked and quite a few that were pretty dreary.
