Cover Version Challenge - Canada Day Edition
The cover version challenege is back after a week off. This week's challenge is an all Canadian one, where both the original and covering artists are Canadian. But first, here are the answers to the last challenge:
A - The Killing Moon by Nouvelle Vague, originally by Echo & The Bunnymen
B - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me by Violent Femmes, originally by Culture Club
C - This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) by The Arcade Fire, originally by Talking Heads
D - Love Missle F1 Eleven by David Bowie, originally by Sigue Sigue Sputnik
E - In Between Days by Ben Folds, originally by The Cure
F - Love Vigilantes by Iron & Wine, originally by New Order
Finding Canadian songs covered by Candian artists was harder than I expected, but I managed to come up with seven songs thanks to a couple of tribute albums and k.d. lang's Hymns Of The 49th Parallel. The seven songs will be labelled A though G, I'll list the seven covering artists, and the seven 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'll have the answers posted next weekend.
