Love their cover of the Phantogram song!
Music Monday -- Panic at the Disco "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Another Monday and another cover. This is becoming a bit of a trend. But I had to share this one with everyone. Panic at the Disco does an amazing cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" that just has to be watched!
Music Monday -- Tori Amos "Creep"
I don't usually highlight covers for my Music Monday posts. However, this one is so amazing, I had to highlight it. I adore her voice, and it fits completely into this song.
Music Monday -- Red "Ordinary World"
While I like the Duran Duran version, I've really been digging Red's version. Just a nice random song for this Monday.
Lyrics:
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights the TV and the radio but still I can't escape the ghost of you
What is happening to me crazy some would say Where is the life that I recognize, gone away
And I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say pride will tear us both apart Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops, runaway Left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me crazy some will say where is my friend when I need you most gone away
But I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and grief Fear today forgot tomorrow beside the news of holy war and holy need Our's is just a little sorrowed talk, just blown away
And I won't cry for yesterday there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive Every world is my world (I will learn to survive) Any world is my world (I will learn to survive) Any world is my world, every world is our world, every world
Music Monday -- Favorite Covers VII
While sifting through all our music, I came across a ton of songs (over 1000) that I wanted to add to my 101 Favorite Songs list. I had to narrow it down. As part of my narrowing, I decide to delete all covers from the list. But those are some great songs, ones I really love. So, I decided to give them their own series on Music Monday.

Music Monday -- "Landslide"
Another cover themed edition of Music Monday. I have a little place in my heart for Fleetwood Mac. I think it has to do with hearing them as a child. Their songs are instantly recognizable to me. I hear them and can't help but sing along. And Stevie Nicks' voice is just too amazing. While going through our iTunes account in prep for my 101 Fave Songs posts, I found multiple covers this song. So here we go...
Fleetwood Mac: The Original (live version from 2006)
Tori Amos: How beautiful is her voice?
Smashing Pumpkins: A man singing, interesting swap.
Dixie Chicks: I think this country version is the closest to the original.
Glee: I do love me some Glee. Not always the best covers, but always different.
Bush: Just found this one on YouTube. I had to add it.
Music Monday -- "Rainbow Connection"
As I was going through all the songs on our server (thousands), I realized that I have quite a few versions of this song. Why is that? Oh yeah, It's just an awesome song. I dare you not to sing along...
Original Kermit the Frog:
The Dixie Chicks:
Sarah McLachlan: My favorite non-Kermit version
Less Than Jake: A ska version for you...
Jason Mraz: I don't have this one, but I do love him...
