Lindbergh, baby! knows finding a good man is like finding a Needle in a Haystack.

Excellent. The delivery of the line "I feel you" at 2:07 is so cool.

Ha! That's my favorite bit. That's what happens when I have a drink or two before doing these silly covers.

So, barring anyone getting another version in under the wire today, the Motown challenge is over.


So, it's over to Crumb to tell us what next months is.....

 

[Milker]

Clash, Stock-Aitken-Waterman, XTC.
Was talking to No Tomorrow last night who suggested doing one 'in the style of'..so any song in acapella or something...there be merit there, there be!

 

[Jill Hives]

What about any song that was a theme to a movie?
Magnetic Fileds?
The Smiths?
I like Snakey's idea of doing another Thumped band's song.

[Jill Hives]

Terrific.

Thanks. Oh, and I figured it out... yes, you should play a gig soon.

 

[crumb]

Ok, - sorry for the delay !
I was gonna suggest The Go - Betweens, but on second thoughts -
Madness - thats my final answer chris

 

[Wilbert]

You don't want to phone a friend on that one?

 

[Jill Hives]

No doubt. I know one Madness song... Our House. Well, two now, since I moved here... that baggy pants song that makes every man in the room dance the same way. Ugh.

I think one might give this a try this week, a stripped down loved bullets version making even the most upbeat motown song sound lachrymose and grim!

ha yeah i started working on a Motown one last minute. it's gonna be my project for the next week or so even though the challenge is over. i wish i'd thought of my song sooner.

all Madness songs kinda sound the same. if i close my eyes listening to Madness, in my head, i am magically transported to a party i don't want to be at.

 

[Milker]

Hmm..do you have a plan-B Crumb or are Madness your Lisbon treaty? I love the Nutty Boys but I'd understand not everyone being drawn to that challenge. Maybe do any song in the style of madness/ska? I do have my Madness song selected just in case

In fairness, I would rather take a Madness song and turn it into something different than try to take a song and turn it into ska. Does Madness have a large catalog of songs? I must investigate. Or maybe we could do the year of the Madness song you'd like to do Mr. Crumb. Ahh, it's a challenge right, I'll look into Madness songs but I am not doing any silly dance.
