Cover Yourself
I love it when artists cover themselves. And I don't mean live concert performances. I mean new versions of their old hits. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Here are a few that work -- the original and the cover:
- Men At Work - "Down Under" 1982
- Colin Hay - "Down Under" 2003
- Pete Townshend - "Let My Love Open The Door" 1980
- Pete Townshend - "Let My Love Open The Door" 1996
- The Beach Boys - "Surf's Up" 1967
- Brian Wilson - "Surf's Up" 2004
- Paul Kelly - "You Can't Take It With You" 1989
- Paul Kelly & Uncle Bill - "You Can't Take It With You" 1999
- George Harrison - "My Sweet Lord" 1970
