Cover Version Challenge 5
Here are the answers to last week's challenge:
A - Starman by Culture Club, originally by David Bowie
B - Mr. Blue Sky by The Delgados, originally by Electric Light Orchestra
C - Reelin' In The Years by Joe Jackson, originally by Steely Dan
D - (Don't Fear) The Reaper by The Beautiful South, originally by Blue Oyster Cult
E - Baker Street by Foo Fighters, originally by Gerry Rafferty
F - The Weight by Travis, originally by The Band
For this week's challenge, I'm going with an 80's theme. All ofthe songs were originally released in the 80's. I'm posting six songs labelled A though F, the six covering artists, and the six original artists. It's up to you to figure out who did what. You can submit your guesses in th comments section, or email them to me at andthroughthewireblog@yahoo.ca. Unfortunately I have no prizes, this is just for the fun of it. I hope to have the answers posted next weekend, but I have a new baby coming very soon and might be a little distracted.
