Thumped Cover Challenge no.2 - Madonna (2 Viewers)

[Jill Hives]

he just annoys me, is all

i believe binning of entries isn't allowed, you need to let us hear even the aborted attempt!

Just imagine me speaking this over some programmed drumbeats.

(Spoken)
I know you've been waiting, yeah
I've been watching you, yeah
I know you wanna get up, yeah
Come on

 

[pissypants]

Gary Glitter?

 

[HMD]

Why don't we pick a year rather than an artist? Like a Thumed NOW

 

[Milker]

Gary Glitter?

XTC please Og...i mean if Gary Gickers in w a shout give Swindons finest a chance. i mean, c'mon...

Why don't we pick a year rather than an artist? Like a Thumed NOW

Now Thats What I Call Covers...cool..maybe an era genre...1940's, 1950's..as opposed to, say, 1992.





go on Ogy, pick XTC !ninjaaaa

and fiachra, wheres yours?

I've spent the month changing jobs I'm afraid... I've not listened to the travisty that ws my cover in weeks... oh the randomly speeding up casiotone drum machine, oh the distored stylophone... oh the humanity.... I'm pretty scared.... in the spirit of the game though I'll try bash it up over the weekend...


you have been warmed

 

[pissypants]

I still intend finishing my Madonna too, sooner or later.

XTC would be class.

 

[Beanstalk]

I'm raging I missed out on the Talking heads one...and too late to do the Madonna one now, but am ready for the next challenge...

So what is it to be for June?
Who decides?



April - Talking Heads
May - Madonna
June - ?????


Suggestions so far...
Elvis Costello, XTC, Christopher Cross, Paul McCartney, Neil Sedaka, burt bacharch, Phil Spector.

How about a more colloquial choice like Chris de Burgh, Daniel O Donnell, Richie Kavanagh, Aslan, Frank and Walters etc?

 

[Goodbye]

My pro tools died.

Just fixed it.

I am too late.

I'm not posting unfinished washes of synths.

Y'know what would be fun sometime in the future.

Do a cover of a "thumped band" song.

ie someone who posts here does a cover of someone else who posts here's band.

Could be inneresting.

 

[Anthony]

or something like Rivers' "lets write a song"

 

[ogy]

ok was gonna say costello but don't wanna impose it on anyone whos not into it. so any objections to doing the year thing?
if so i'll pick 1979!

 

[Milker]

No way I'm uploading my pisspoor, unfinished attempt at La Isla Bonita against my will.

I know we're not voting here. But I vote Abbott & Costello.

XTC

and no we're not voting...just fervently petitioning

A & C is a great idea tho...tv show tunes too..mr. ed, different strokes, greatest american hero...neighbours, even



vote XTC

'79..fair play t'ya og..reckon thats a goer!

 

[Wilbert]

This is going to be harder than I thought. Most of my favourite bands seem to have taken the year off in 1979.

I thought "Coming Up" by Paul McCartney would be 1979 but it's April 1980.

actually i've long thought about putting out a compilation CD of bands covering the other bands' songs.

NOBODY STEAL MY IDEA... which is a rip off of http://www.swedishpunk.com/splits.php?id=94

 

[avernus]

BOWIE!

do it have to have been a number one in that year?

 

[ogy]

don't think so

i think year is a good idea cos it places some kinda restriction on things and keeps an overall theme without making people tackle a catalog that they hate.

 

[ann post]

year is good, i would have had a breakdown trying to pick my favoutite costello song anyways.
