There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"Satisfaction" has a cha-cha beat. (drum-drum-tambourine-tambourine-tambourine)

Yeah, there are a lot of hidden Latin rhythms in rock.

"Louie, Louie" also has a Latin feel (based on the clave, so a mix of 3 and 2) and so does the Bo Diddley beat.

The real question is, who did the more radical cover of "Satisfaction"?

Devo

or

Cat Power?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Devo

or

Cat Power?

They are both very awesome in their own way.

That's true.

The Residents ?

Ooh! Dark horse contender!

There's also the live Bjork/PJ Harvey version.

Bonus cover: Cat Power and Karen Elson cover Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime moi non plus".

Sessy.

Wait, are you talking about the Devo version on e-z listening disc or their other version. I'm somewhat partial to the e-z listening disc version myself.

The Residents ?

I need to crank that song in my car with all the windows open. It'll frighten the pedestrians anyway.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"Louie, Louie" also has a Latin feel (based on the clave, so a mix of 3 and 2) and so does the Bo Diddley beat.

"Louie, Louie" feels almost like speeded-up reggae.

Well, it's originally supposed to be a fake calypso song.

Here's the original by Richard Berry.

OK, that one ranks up there with the best.

Also, I need an mp3 of that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Bonus cover: Cat Power and Karen Elson cover Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime moi non plus".

Seeing that reminds me of one of my favorite "hidden" tracks - the cover of "Bonnie & Clyde" on Luna's 'Penthouse' with Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab (the original was Serge and Bridget Bardot).

So, best cover of "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'"?

The Residents? or Crispin Glover?

The Residents' version is rather short, so I give the nod to Glover's version.

eta: Glover's version has a much more "normal" production, with the exception of his vocals. Which are great.
