Randy George of The Ether and Aether Experiment (on Theremin) http://laughingsquid.com/theremin-cover-version-of-gnarls-barkleys-crazy/ And yes, Gordon Gano was being bad. He's probably composing a song right this minute about how guilty and ashamed he feels. ;) I <3 the Violent Femmes. |

Shawn Colvin does it live. I must admit, I really like the original, and most of the covers are very good but... I don't get it. Why are so many artists drawn to this song? |

I really don't see how anybody can dislike this. Poll: do any of the haters otherwise like the Femmes? Or is the dislike directed specifically AT the Femmes? Because if that's the case, well. . .there's no accounting for taste!

Well, Bill, you're certainly mixing it up today!  And since when do the VF's have a flautist? Edit: Well, it turns out they've historically worked with an array of woodwind/brass instrumentalists as guests... When I saw them at Shoreline a few years back, they were just guitar, xylophone, and snare drum. And yep, they rocked the house! |

Violent Femmes... the Oompah-oompah band of the 80's... horrid to start with. Then, to cover Crazy? Blech.

Very well done cover here. Equal parts recognizable and "they made it their own." And that's how good covers are done.
That said, I saw the Gnarls Barkley cover of Radiohead's Reckoner that everyone was raving about and it was horrid.

The Kooks have done a vivid version of Crazy for La Blogotheques "Take-away Shows". Live and in the streets of Paris. You can find it on youtube! |
