Anduin April 1, 2023 Share April 1, 2023 In very much the good category, a British female country group goes for Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls. Now, this isn't even the first female country cover I've heard of this song. And it got me thinking. Apart from being a damn good tune, there's so much societal pressure on women to look perfect at all times. Maybe it's refreshing to consider women who aren't perfect, by the general societal standards, as desirable. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it's just a good tune. :) 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18343-covers-the-good-the-bad-the-meh/page/10/#findComment-7941250

Similarly, I love when a pleasantly cheesy, middle-of-the-road song is covered, but given new life to the point where it becomes something kind of special. Case in point? Whitney Houston's cover of Steve Winwood's "Higher Love". Also? Monica's rendition of "Right Here Waiting". 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18343-covers-the-good-the-bad-the-meh/page/10/#findComment-8084025

WendyCR72 August 14, 2023 Share August 14, 2023 Having only been familiar with the 1983 version of the song by Naked Eyes, the recent Amazon commercial using the original * version of Always Something There To Remind Me surprised me. I never knew the 1983 version was a cover! * I say original version as the first to apparently chart with this song in 1964 was Lou Johnson, whose version is in the commercial. However, Dionne Warwick apparently recorded a demo of it in 1963. I was never a huge fan of the song, but it's still funny to get musical education via commercials. And, if I had to listen, since it is the one I am most familiar with, I'd probably still stick with the Naked Eyes version, though the Johnson version seems more "bluesy" and isn't horrible. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18343-covers-the-good-the-bad-the-meh/page/10/#findComment-8107462

I like it when people you wouldn't expect to cover songs like that do so. It's fun to see someone do something outside their usual wheelhouse like that, and it speaks to how broad the appeal of certain songs can be, if they can get covers from all over the spectrum like that. Thanks for the clarification on the holiday album cover, that makes much more sense :p. I mean, musically, the cover would fit right in with that kind of holiday vibe, but lyrically...not so much :p. Unless you wanted to go REALLY dark with the holiday mood, I guess :D? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/18343-covers-the-good-the-bad-the-meh/page/10/#findComment-8139682
