Tuesday Tunes | Covers

It’s Tuesday Tunes time again and this week I’m back with a special addition.  It’s Covers week.  I’ll be honest the idea of this weeks tunage came from hearing (in my opinion) a really crappy cover by The White Stripes. Yes, I’m somewhat biased because it’s a cover of Walking With A Ghost by my favourite band Tegan and Sara but still.

Here are the two versions for your listening ears/eyes.

Listening to such a horrible cover made me be all “DUDE, there are some really great covers out there! Let’s listen to them”.  In my opinion a great cover is all about swagger.  Can you take an already good song, add your own swagger to it and change it up to be even better than the original? If you can your WINNING like Charlie Sheen!  In my opinion here are some peeps who are doing it well!
