Remember I mentioned Paul Gilbert covered the Spice Girls? There's more not so pop acts doing very pop songs. And it works out! It essentially proves that the songs aren't bad, but the way they're performed and the money machine attitude behind them. Was just listening to Z doing Britney Spears' Hit Me Baby One More Time. Replace keyboards with distorted guitars and there you go...not too bad at all. Still not sure whether it's a serious thing or whether they're taking the piss with the original. After all, we're talking about Ahmet and Dweezil Zappa here, sons of the legend Frank. Another version of the same song my Mike Patton's Mr.Bungle sure as hell is a piss take.

Speaking of which and previous posts... Bad News doing Bohemian Rhapsody. Hilarious! Actually just found a list of Bo Rap covers. Most of them seem to be cash in instrumental versions on compilations, done by nameless artists. Probably for the better anyway.

Revamp of the still not quite released cover database website is making good progress. Decided to ditch some things that made it needlessly complicated and had a long hard look to simplifying some other stuff and it seems to be working out alright :)
