I'm decades past caring about The Violent Femmes , but , this has GOT to be the better of the two , tho' he sounds like he's taking it seriously.....

I haven't heard the whole of the original, but I'm pretty sure this cover beats it.

I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS IN JR. HIGH , EVERYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW SANTANA WAS GOING TO PLAY AT SIX FLAGS OVER TEXAS , PRETTY MUCH AN IMPOSSIBILITY AT THE TIME , BUT , IT TURNED OUT TO BE SANTA ESMERELDA.
ERIC BURDON SAID HE MET NINA SIMONE , AND SHE SAID "SO YOU ARE THE WHITE TRASH MOTHERFUCKER WHO WENT AND TOOK MY SONG ! (AS IF SHE WROTE IT.)", AND HE REPLIED , "YEAH , AND BECAUSE OF THAT , YOU'VE GOT ALL OF EUROPE WAITING TO SEE YOU. IF YOU OWN UP TO THE SONGS YOU TOOK FROM ANGOLA (PRISON) , I'LL OWN UP TO TAKING THAT SONG FROM YOU!". AFTER THAT , HE SAID , SHE LOST THE ATTITUDE , AND THEY WERE FRIENDLY. IT WAS STILL AT A TIME WHEN GETTING COVER SONGSOUT WAS OFTEN CRUCIAL TO YOUR OWN CAREER.....YOU COULD STILL HAVE TWO , THREE , MAYBE EVEN MORE VERSIONS OF THE SAME SONG HIT THE CHARTS.

"Please don´t let me be Misunderstood" is the song i like less by Nina Simone, i guess.
but comparing the two covers by the Animals and the one by Santa Esmeralda, i would dare to say, although i´m not a Disco fan, i like the Santa Esmeralda a bit more.

Yeah! Unbelievable and inexplicable!!! Jon Moss had rather stay by Adam and the Ants!! :D

"Mad World" is a pretty melodic, soupy song but still good, somehow...
just not sure which version is better. Preferences out there?
March 10, 2013 11:02 AM CDT
I think the Doors in "Backdoor man" beats the Howlin´Wolf´s original
Cash literally smashed with "Hurt" the original Nine Inch Nails
and with "I see a Darkness" the original by Bonnie Prince Billy

That´s right Nero!
thanx! what a awesome song!

Covers of covers of covers....'Blank Generation' was 'inspired' by 'Beat Generation', a novelty song written by Rod McKuen and sung by Bob McFadden from 1959. I first heard it on a Las Vegas Grind LP but it took me a while to make the connection. Check it out!
Tersicore said:
"Run through the Jungle" is just such a fantastic song!! The Original, wow!!
Is hard to say which cover is best... like a lot the 8 Eyed Spy´s and Cramps´s but the one i´ve been listening most is from Gun Club, i guess. I simply love it!
Shit! I´m not sure if i ever realized before, that the "Stray Cat Strut" was the cover of Blank Generation! Shame on me! Anyway, i love the first album by Stray Cats!! Killer!!
John Battles said:Richard Hell does CCR? Who'da thunk it? I like Lydia Lunch's version of "Run Through The Jungle". I used to like The Stray Cats' cover version of "Blank Generation",when it came out. They called it "Stray Cat Strut".
March 9, 2013 11:49 PM CST
i COULD SEE THE CRAMPS DOING "JUNGLE"....We are all faltering , somehow , in our musical memories. I'm sure I saw some great bands , some that became well - known , but , beats me who they were.
Tersicore said:
Upppssss!!!
Why i thought the Cramps did cover this song?? Shit!, no idea! (Ok..maybe just smoked too much back then...or getting old lately?). They didn´t! ;D but Gun Club did, for sure!!! In Miami, and how!!!Yeah, 8 eyed spy were special!! but missed Rudi and Lydia together, somehow....
John Battles said:THAT WAS KIND OF A JOKE , BECAUSE "STRAY CAT STRUT" DOES SOUND LIKE IT WAS LIFTED DIRECTLY FROM " BLANK GENERATION". DID GUN CLUB DO "RUN THROUGH THE JUNGLE " , TOO? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE CRAMPS DOING IT.....LUX WAS A BIG CCR FAN , THOUGH. EIGHT EYED SPY (W/LYDIA LUNCH) DID SOME COOL COVERS , LIKE "LIGHTNING'S GIRL" (NANCY SINATRA) , MAINTAINING MY COOL (SONICS) , DIDDY WAH DIDDY (CAPT. BEEFHEART'S VERSION.) , TOO. YOU KNOW , RUDI BRIEFLY PLAYED IN A MORE BLUESEY BAND CALLED THE DEVIL DOGS WITH LYDIA. I THINK THEY ONLY DID A EUROPEAN TOUR. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANY RECORDINGS TURNING UP.

Ha ha ha ha..."More Than a Feeling"....Back when everybody was doing "Feel Like Making Love " by Bad Co. (DON'T KNOW WHY.) , I saw the Lunachicks cover it , changing the words to "I would wrap you....in toilet paper.....flush you down , down , down the drain....Feel like makin'...DUNNUNT - DAH ! DUNNUNT - DAH ! DUNNUNT DAH !!!!".

ACTUALLY , THE STRAY CATS ALSO GOT "CRAWL UP AND DIE" FROM "PLEASE GIVE ME SOMETHING.....THE CRAMPS WERE OFTEN ACCUSED OF LIFTING THE RHYTHM PART FROM THAT SONG TO GET "DRUG TRAIN" / "TWIST AND SHOUT", BUT THE STRAY CATS EVEN TOOK THE MELODY....IT ALL DREW ATTENTION TO THE ORIGINAL.

Damn, thanks for letting me know. They worked for me but I don't use iTunes so I didn't know it had an issue. I've switched all my subscription links over to feedburner which has iTunes optimization, so hopefully that helps. Here is the new link for you and anyone else who is interested:
