Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - August 13, 2025 [DJ Rex]
.jpg)
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.Recently, I went down a musical rabbit hole on cover songs. Because I did, you will be dragged into the hole along with me. Given the comments in last night's ONT that unknowingly strayed into Wed ONT space, I think we'll be fine. Hopefully, you enjoy this musical ONT. The breadth and depth of sonic entertainment will serve the usual ONT appetite for random content variety. Covers walk a tightrope. Is the goal to stay faithful to the original? If so, why do a cover unless you can add something new? If not, then why bother? Playing a song you like at a concert is one thing, but taking the next step to record and release it as something "new" is another. How much can an artist pay homage or "make it their own" and still preserve the bones of the original? It is a difficult balance and (in my opinion) most fall into the category of "just because you can, does not mean you should." But what do I know? We're just doing covers. We're not doing parodies (sorry, Weird Al) or modern songs that sample from older songs. Seems like everyone has recorded and re-recorded Christmas classics, so let's leave those aside for now too.
What covers completely transformed the original into something new? Does anyone know how original artists get paid when their songs are covered with success later?
[Sean Charles] Dunn was allegedly captured on video Sunday night shouting that a group of federal officers were "fascists" before whipping his deli sandwich at them and striking a US Customs and Border Protection agent in the chest. The criminal complaint says Dunn confessed to a DC police officer, "I did it. I threw a sandwich."Picture the jailhouse dialogue with his fellow inmates: "What are you in for?" "I attacked a cop at Subway." "Wow! You tried to take out a cop in the subway?" "No. I threw my ham and cheese at a guy wearing body armor." "Oh."
TRex is an original. Not a copy. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Granddaughter plays cello, this is her 4th year. Challenging instrument. No orchestra at her school so they had to find groups for her to play with. But it is a joy to hear the progress she's made. She's playing in church on Sunday for the first time, with a professional.

Springsteen and Patti Smith co-wrote 'Because The Night'. Springsteen recorded it first. A year later, Smith had a minor hit with her version. I like her version. Bought the album, 'Easter', because of that song.

The bluegrass-hillbilly holler guys (I admit, suspenders with no shirt makes me cringe) had pretty decent harmony. The song sounds pretty good when its sung by a guy who can sing and not screech.

One of the oddest covers is Sound of Silence by Nevermore.
A lot of the metal bands I listen to do great cover tunes from their influences. Testament and Helstar both have great covers of Scorpions' Animal Magnetism.

The formula is spelled out in a Roosevelt era law (1900-1912 IIRC) that requires every artist who wants copyright protection to allow recording of their material at a specified rate - 12.50 cents currently? Essentially you pay 1,200 dollars for every 10,000 sold of non-original work.
How the actual collection and distribution works, that's lawyer stuff.

Did she choose cello herself, or somebody introduce her to it? Kid picked it on her own. The introductory class doesn't really play but once this year. If she keeps doing it, there's a couple of performances she'd have to do next year.

. So I was wrong. The name Sirius in Greek does mean sparking or blazing, but it is not used that way in the NT. Just to be sure I looked up Isaiah 6 in the Septuagint, which is a translation of the OT into Koine Greek. The word used for seraphim was a Greek word obviously derived from the Hebrew! Why the similarity that hit me so hard that I was sure of it? The Greek word for Sirius may have been borrowed from an Egyptian word meaning blazing. Egyptian is somewhat similar to Hebrew hence, maybe, the similarity. Sorry about that!Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at August 13, 2025 10:19 PM (ZVgZ4)

Here's an odd cover for you. The band The Ides of March, famous for the hit song 'Vehicle', did a cover of 'Wooden Ships'. CS&N did the original. Airplane did a version as Paul Kantner co-wrote the song. And the Ides make three versions.
With the song 'All Along The Watchtower', there's the Dave Mason version to make three.

A couple come to mind, but the first one is 'Superstar' written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett (Bonnie & Delaney). Karen Carpenter's version surpasses the original, and Luther Vandross' version surpasses Carpenter's - even though I like Karen's more and more as time goes on.
The second is 'A Song For You', also written by Leon Russell. Donny Hathaway's version is amazing.

Contentious ones first.... Marilyn Manson absolutely nailed Sweet dreams, Britney Spears owned I Love Rock and Roll, and as faithful a reproduction as Alien Ant Farm recorded, their tweaks were worth it and they had the better film clip for Smooth Criminal.
Of the 3 others I prefer, I can only recall the Unique II cover of Break My Stride at this time.

Soon to be released Trump mix.
The Trump version will have much better production and uplifting whereas the Biden Junta original was oppressive brutalism.

Killing Elton John by Philip McNamara, Chris Clements.
https://is.gd/yfmGEN
Apparently, it's a novel about an aspiring rock star who blames EJ for his lack of success so he and buds decide to kill him. I think it is, at least partially, a comedic novel of idiots conspiring to do idiot stuff. I wonder what Elton thinks of this.

Regarding covers. I get the re-singing of songs and that's fine. Not everyone can be original like Lynyrd Skynyrd. I refuse to listen to the cover band that came after Ronnie, Stevie and Cassie died. Here I am taking "cover" to other meanings as in cover bands. I saw real bands in their and my prime.
I do have exceptions. One is Alison Krauss and Union Station. She collects songs and makes them their own. Her voice is in the top 3 that I can remember. Angelic. Ethereal. Stuff like that, and we saw her a few weeks ago and I may never be the same. Go see them!
Like Linda Rondstat, you don't have to write your songs, just sing them.
However those that do write songs and sing them are possibly a cut above.
I may like some of Bob Dylan's songs but I can't stand his voice. I loved Dan Fogleberg (whom many of you have probably never heard of). Also another ballad guy is Gordon Lightfoot.
Saying that, I can still love meaningless song lyrics.
Toto and Foreigner, Tom Petty,Lou Gramm, and Eric Clapton...Layla takes love to another sphere.
Then I sing along to misheard lyrics just because. I loved this one so much I am sharing with you Morons:

It was first released in 1967 by Gladys Knight and the Pips and went to #2, and became the best selling Motown single to that time.
The Marvin Gaye version was then released only a year later, and it went to #1, and then became the best selling Motown single to that time.
CCR then released it again in 1970.
I would mostly hear the Gaye version on the radio, but rock stations would sometimes play the very long CCR version.
I never hear the Gladys Knight version.
(The Miracles actually recorded the song before Knight, but didn't release it until 1968. I wonder how they would have fared if they had released their version first?)

Per Wiki:
written by Mel Tillis, first recorded by Waylon Jennings in 1966. Johnny Darrell reached number nine on the country charts with the song in 1967, and Kenny Rogers and the First Edition released it in 1969.
The Statler Brothers covered it on their 1967 album, Big Country Hits. Other artists who have recorded versions include Bobby Bare, Walter Brennan, Dale Hawkins, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Jerry Reed, Roger Miller, Cake, The Killers, Sort Sol, Leonard Nimoy, Ralph Stanley II, and the German band Wolfsheim.

The story I heard on that was the Al Jadine, the rhythm guitarist, brought the folk song to Brian Wilson for consideration. In a day Brian had worked up the basic musical arrangement. It became the second single released from 1966's Pet Sounds album and reached #3.
Jardine was a folk music fan and had replaced original guitarist David Marks after Marks had a slight disagreement with Murray Wilson.

What songs were done better by the subsequent cover artist?

I really do not like Rucker's cover of Wagon Wheel. I do like Old Crow Medicine Show's version. I have no idea if it's their original or not. The upside about his cover is that he exposed OCMS to a lot more people.

Original Buddy Holly
Cover Linda Ronstadt
The Blue Bayou original was Roy Orbison. Ronstadt did cover a few Buddy Holly songs: That'll Be the Day and It's So Easy for example.
She covered a lot of people, some of the originals were hits already and some of them were not much of anything. But, Ronstadt's versions were usually superior.

There’s a picture of the Beatles sitting in the audience at the opening night Jimi played the Odeon or whatever. They all look sick to their stomach. Jimi opened with that E5 Pepper tune, that hadn’t even been released yet - he got a copy from Chas Chandler or somebody and just blew the doors off of everyone. I find Hendryx to be a bit fatiguing - a little goes a long, long way.

PMJ has some good stuff. I had them with "All about that bass" in an earlier version of this thread, but it didn't make the final cut.
Posted by: TRex - no treble
PMJ has a ton of good stuff. With Morgan James singing, I like their cover of Maroon 5's "Maps." But almost everything they do improves on the original.
https://youtu.be/8gO_lxThc1M
Good variety, since PMJ is "Scott Bradlee, and the people he picked to do this particular song."
Another "let me cover ALL THE THINGS and post it on Youtube" artist is Leo Moracchioli. Metal covers of whatever. His breakout song was Toto's "Africa," but I like the ones where he does goofy videos.

"Mack the Knife", from Kurt Weill's "Threepenny Opera", has been recorded many times. Bobby Darren did an upbeat, finger-popping version that was a hit; and Ella Fitzgerald made a famous live recording in which she forgot the lyrics, but clearly was having a lot of fun. However, the best version is by an obscure acapella quintet called Hudson Shad. You can hear it on YouTube (though the sound quality sucks). Unlike all the other versions, this one keeps the menace of Weill's original: this is one scary song, and it should be sung that way.

They Might Be Giants are such a fun band. "Istanbul, not Constantinople" was the perfect song for the season 1 Umbrella Academy diner fight scene. It probably doesn't hit the same way if you don't know the setting, but that scene was a masterpiece of action.

I can see that, but the song makes me irritated every time it comes on. You see, for 3 seconds I think Warren Zevon's Werewolves of London is about to be on and that is always exciting...and then I'm disappointed when it's just Kid Rock.

There’s a particular specific recording of “Sing Me Back Home” with all these triplets and neat ornaments, he recorded it a few times, and it was never the same. Horton had a guy named Grady Martin, a hotshot Nashville guy play for him. He probably did all the stuff on El Paso and the rest of it on the Gunfighter Ballads album, too.

They lost their bass player, Jack Casady , (he said, I don't have to hear arguments about Nixon anymore) and their drummer, Spencer Dryden. Write ups say he was too physically small to keep up. Right. After they had done for years of their best work. I think there were problems with the lead singer (writer) and lead guitar also.
To my ear they were two different bands.
Eromero, I know you hate their politics and your right on that.
But they were very professional musicians. In the 60's.

30 seconds of an obscure Spirit song nobody ever heard of (and I have "12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus") is not "Stairway to Heaven". What Zep did with that little bit of "Taurus" resulted in one of the greatest songs in rock history. Here is "Taurus".

While Cyndi "owns" the song now, I always liked the original. Robert Hazard was one of those late 70s/early 80s local heroes in the Philly market that gave us the A's and The Hooters. "Escalator Of Life" was an early MTV "hit" which really should have been bigger.

Whiskey Lullabye...yes.
She jokes in concert that they sing about sadness, death, paranormal, etc as "they don't want you to leave happy."
Which is not true as to a person, total strangers, as we walked to our cars we were walking on clouds as she is enchanting. I think I smiled for two solid hours. And I don't say this lightly. My husband was enthralled with Jerry Douglas, next to her, who is one if not the best dobro players. It was one of the best concerts I have ever attended, and I went to many in both my prime and the band's prime of 70's rock.
Alison Krauss and Union Station are the only bluegrass band I know or listen to.
Ballads are often sad stories, like Whiskey Lullabye. But the words have meaning, and the duo of Alison and Brad was amazing when that song came out. I love him as well and don't care who they vote for!

Wow. I am glad I was not at that one! Nor tripping on acid! I was in 8th grade for Woodstock.
The two times large crowds sort of worried me were getting into Jethro Tull. We were pushed against the glass doors that bowed by the crowd. August of 1975. I am olde! Seating was cheap and nothing assigned. We were on the 5th row on the floor. I had eye contact with the bass player who liked me enough to send a roadie to ask me, my brother and friends for an after party. My brother and friends told me no and I did not get to add "groupie" to my resume. Flew the next day back to college.
Another time was ZZ Top. Again on the floor in the first few rows up front. Security lost control of the people in the upper tiers of the stadium, and everyone flooded down to the floor. I was standing on a fold out chair and the guys I was with had to hold my arms to keep me from falling and stampeded. We were fine once everyone settled down.
Otherwise all was good and I went to any concert I could in those days. I had a blast!

Drach put up a video on Kriegsmarine Wunderwaffe.
It was bad enough with the actual ideas they built like the Tornado tie together two Ju 52 floats, put explosives in the floats, add a V-1 pulse jet, and radio control. Or the Seeteufel which looked like a Seehund mated to tank tracks. But sheer cray cray zany was either the U-boat hydrofoil or the U-boat towing a submersible capsule loaded with an A-4 missile.
Then there was the comments that started off with "Top Gear: World War II episode."

20th Century music, in particular American Music to start, blew up 1000 years of Western musical tradition. It annihilated the Classics and sent them packing to same old concert halls playing the same old greatest hits from a few hundred years ago. Discussing covers like this brings the cream of the crop songs and performances to the forefront. It is modern classical music in the making and all these tribute bands in 50 years are going to be thought of in the same manners as the Emerson Quartet to pick one.

I grieve in private. My husband of 46yrs has maybe seen me cry 5 times. I have to hold it together for them and sons, as if I cut loose they would freak out as it is so rare. Also, there may be some who "cry pretty" but I am not one of them. My nose looks like WC Fields and I have an image to uphold.

The "miseducation of Lauren hill" which went platinum. Then she said "I'd rather be raped than a white person buy my music". Seems people agreed to that deal
Posted by: BruceWayne
LOL! I wondered what happened with her. They were a THING, and then they disappeared. This explains why. I didn't pay that much attention to them when they were big. Not really my musical taste. Still, amusing to hear about the harsh mistress that is 'Unintended Consequences' strike again. Well done, whatever your name was. Lauren Hill or was that just the album title?

That was her solo album. The fugees were her wyclef jean and pras. Pras was a nothing. Wyclef has gone on to have a big career as a solo artist and producer. Lauren was the super star that went solo and sold a million records in a week and killed her career in a day. Wyclef still is a big time producer.

Rachmaninoff is absolutely Romantic period classical, he and Strauss were composing during the 19th century as well.

Some authorities break it down into eras. Baroque is an era, Classical is an era, Romantic is an era, etc. There really is no good catch-all descriptor for "music composed on paper, intended to be performed by various and sundry orchestras or smaller groups".

Concur. All three are in the tradition of European classical music. On the other hand Louis Armstrong's Hot 5 and Hot 7 recordings, as an example, was some of the most original music in a few hundred years and once it got rolling it never looked back. 20th century American music, later a world music, blew things up permanently.

There was a fork in the road. Bands like the Blacks and the Blues and others of that era went to swing don't know who Duke started with, Basie did work with Goodman's small groups there were others who moved into swing, big band swing. Interestingly, Goodman handed the mantel off to Charlie Parker.
The other fork was Armstrong's who stayed with Dixieland.
Pete Fountain and Al Hurt carried the tradition. Don't know who the preeminent Dixie players are.

They break the classical music down into periods. Renaissance is 1400-1600AD. Baroque is 1600-1750. Classical is 1750-1830. Bach died in 1750, so he was definitely later baroque period. He had a lot of cello and violin suites that were adapted over the years to classical guitar, but it wasn't written for guitar. The earlier baroque period seemed more geared towards the baroque guitar, or what they called the 5 course guitar. I can't really be sure, but when I was studying classical guitar it seemed like I ran across way more music written for the guitar in earlier periods. Its the dates that stuck in my head. Gasper Sanz was dead by the 1680's, and he wrote some great guitar stuff. The earlier dedicated guitar music is very different than was was adapted from bach. Go back even earlier and you're in lute territory, which is more different still.

Lucky! I grew up with it. Parents & grandparents what played various instruments and.. always played classical or show tunes!
Mom tried teaching me how to play piano. Always classical. Boring! She would not let me even TRY to play any Elton John tunes... jeeeeez. Turned me off the whole deal-- can't I at least play something I LIKE to hear? Nope.
I get it, that classical is good musical exercise. But it's nice to have a little reward, something FUN, ya know?

Jazz developed so quickly it is a full time job keeping it straight. Is that even possible? Roughly, very, very, roughly: Ragtime-ish, New Orleans Traditional Jazz, Armstrong defines modern small bands, at same time the big bands came to be, then Bop, then Cool, then Miles Davies and Coltrane went off the rails, Return to Forever, Today.
An aside: I saw the Chick Corea trio near the end of his life...the harmonic invention and soaring solos were a thing from God. Such perfection. Same can be said for Mac Rebennack aka Dr. John whom I saw about the same time. Totally different music, both equally great.

Mozart was a rebel.
His operas poked fun at the very wealthy patrons whose financial support allowed him to write opera.
He bit the hand that fed him while poking them in the eye as well.

LOL! I know that game! Gotta love those digital CD jukes--
Some eejot plays a bunch of dance crap, so you plug in your $ and choose a bunch of selections *next disc # that you can stand* in order to stave off the eejot's selections...
We were lucky. The Doors Greatest Hits were (numerically) between the 2 most popular dance collections on our juke. Would usually select the Doors' *entire disc* LOL.
Save the bar, for only $5!

You Are My Sunshine by The Dead South.
There are so many sappy versions of this song. The Dead South captures the raw emotional agony of being abandoned for someone else.

Not referring to.performance (because nowadays I can't play my way out of a paper bag) but just to listening.
One of my favorites is Ravel. Forget Bolero, that's A neat riff turned into an exercise (and a good one) in orchestration, but listen to Pavane. Achingly beautiful. La Valse - when I hear it, the old chestnut about "can you dance to.it?" becomes - I want to say sublime, but that sounds too hackneyed a phrase.
There is nothing like a good full orchestra playing that sort of "classical music". Listen to classical. If you don't like the piece, turn that one off, but, if you like it, buy the record (or do the digital equivalent these days). Relisten. Relisten again. That's the thing about good music, it's always interesting.

I'm hubby's only health & financial POA, and he's not doing very well right now. The latest hip surgery and hospital stay has set him back mentally. Maybe it's just the pain meds, but maybe not?
The nursing home has had to thicken his beverages to prevent choking. He now seems more lethargic than when he was first discharged.
Last time, took him a few weeks to 'recover.'

I think so! Looks like somebody took a hard pull, and the rope frayed then. It's partly pulled out, but cannot go back due to the new bulge. About a foot left, still wound into the spring-recoil unit. It's a Murray. Probably 5hp Briggs engine.
Once I get it home, can look up the numbers & find assembly diagram.
