Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Speaking of covers (we were, weren't we?), they just played a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio. The DJ still hasn't revealed who the artist was, but I think it was a waste of time.
Bohemian Rhapsody isn't about sex, is it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. Now I know who, but can we ever know why?

Huh.
DJ finally talked. It was the Flaming Lips. I usually like them. But their version was too close to the sound of the original, but not as good.
He also played a clip of Joss Stone doing Under Pressure. I wouldn't say it was better (than the original), but not worse either. Definitely different.

Huh. There's also a version out now by My Chemical Romance and The Used that's actually okay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I haven't heard any of these, but I think I'm opposed to covers of "Under Pressure" on principle.

I am too, and I'm slightly aghast at myself for liking the Used/MCR cover.

It's so very different that it really feels like a different song at first. All of these, by the way, were on a Queen tribute album that's apparently either soon to be or very recently released.

Ah, yes. That's the well known, but apparently sadly seldom adhered to Vanilla Ice Sampling Principle.
