zippi Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) I actually think the original is a better song (Linda Lyndell 1968), but salt n pepa do have merit. Plus, it's an interesting comparison - on the face value, song wasn't changed that much, but the vibe is soooo different. Edit: never knew it was a cover - just chanced upon the original on a community FM radio - 3D (DDD) Adelaide.

Guest scuderiarmani Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 New here, but I always preferred Come Together by Michael Jackson, didn't make it on CD till the History album though. https://youtu.be/ubR9cXWkXv8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comfortablynumb Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Heard this the other day. From a movie soundtrack, apparently. Being used by the North Koreans in the pairs figure skating at the Winter Olympics. Edited February 18, 2018 by comfortablynumb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaynin Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) I'm not a Beyoncé fan, but she's an excellent artist and is talented...but I think her own song is outdone by the talent of LP (Laura Pergolizzi) - Edited February 18, 2018 by Kaynin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippi Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 A good cover. A texbook on how to do a cover really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony ray Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sound of silence by Disturbed. Heard it on The Blacklist Ian Garvey episode. Can some one post the clip for me. Cant post you tubes for lack of knowledge, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofeline Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Here is a cover that is better than the original. I agree with Wendy Carlos' perspective on the Switched on Bach cover, noting it "was a clownish, trivializing image of a mugging Bach, supposedly hearing some absurd sound from his earphones. That these were plugged into the input, not output, of a 914 Filter module, which in turn was connected to nothing, assured that silence is all that would have greeted Johann Sebastian's ears."

unclemack Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 This was a stupid song until I heard this version. It’s actually a beautiful plaintive love song. Just not when those Scottish idiots sang it. Lovely reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHC Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The original Chaka Khan version of this song has a '80s style and sound IMO (and I love 80's music). This tweaked version made it timeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it’s not for everyone. I just like the fact that they’ve given the lyrics some meaning. Nothing wrong with 21st century music, as long as you don’t get it from the radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
