...and what you lack is humour.
If you're into that kind of thing, try Richard Cheese's cover of Welcome to the Jungle for a laugh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ojOWMwpNM And I just love the original too!!

I don't generally object to cover songs when they're done well, but this version lacks the sound and gravity of the original. This one's like a soulless, happy, clap-along for the funeral pyre of the casino that the original song commemorates.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Well, I doubt you're still looking after a year, but is it In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Mongo Santamaría?

Try this link for other covers.

Secondhandsongs.com and whosampled.com are really great for this sort of thing.


Señor Coconut!! Great to hear you on RP!!
Love this cover.  Very fun.
I, for one, loved it.  Great for pretending to be a sexy Hispanic woman with high heels and moves. 
(I'm 65, grey haired, Jewish... But I do have moves.)
Koo koo racha!

That would be cool, but it's not likely to happen.  Cool take on this old classic at any rate.
Thanks Bill! That just warmed up my day!
WTF? I have no idea why they did this... Did they take a payment from North Korea to undermine my adolescence? Whatever the reason, they need to be stopped...{#Beat}
This is the worst Christmas present ever.  Solid 1


"Edwardian woman: "My life has been stolen from me."


Before women earned the right to vote...and push the PSD button. 

This version is perfect music for cutting toenails, however. 
hey where is the like button {#Idea} for this comment? I like it :)

Maybe Bart Simpson's hymn "In the Garden of Eden"?  It's simultaneously more and less reverent. ;)
Love it. DBT. I can't usually comment, but here  am again, just want you to know I appreciate what you do. Carry on.
Oh come on.This is like something Ed Wood might have done had he been a muscian. It's so bad it's good. 
Lighten up and enjoy. Mr Coconut is OK by me!

Thank you, Radio Paradise, I've been listening most of the day & I'm so glad you're out there. Love the Brubeck portion w/ Fagen afterward. I wonder if you think to yourself, "this is good, yup, I'm doin' it." More King Crimson, Please. Didn't see that coming, eh? thanks again.

I always think it's a tribute to a song when a cover version can twist it out of shape, to fit a different musical style and it still works. Well done to Señor Coconut and well done to Radio Paradise for giving us another brilliant ethnic cover version of a much-loved classic!

speakers off
In 1973, my primary school teacher thought it a good idea to have the class learn this for our music class.

At least this is better than 25 eleven year olds belting it out on the recorder.

contagious. Yup. That's the right way to put it.
>This actually caused me to turn off radio paradise... WTF??

Yeah, I've tried that before. It usually results in my missing some great music that follows my tune-out.

The way I look at it is that I'd rather listen to a song I don't like for a few minutes than miss the next one.

Besides, most stations play about five 4-minute spot-sets per hour. And then you'll hear those same spots again and again, whereas RP might play 5 minutes of something I don't like every other hour (and then I don't hear it for a long, long, long time).

Simply put, tuning out is just not worth the effort.

Me Too! {#Lol} Come on people, 4.9? Since when did "Smoke on the Water" become a sacred cow? I must have missed that memo. I  thought the original was the coolest...when I was 10 years old! Now, everybody and his cousin pokes fun at that dinosaur. My advice;

Pull the stick out of your back side
Take a drink or a brownie
Sick back, loosen up, relax and enjoy life.
 
Yes, I agree. This track is kitsch, weird, comic...whatever you call it, but it certainly works.

I've spent way too much time with the Hutchinson High marching band.  The bands have drove this song into the ground.  Too bad..

Wow, I can't believe someone else has that recording!  As crazy as it sounds, I've been wishing I could find it on CD.  So cheesy but so good!

Agreed...simply craptastic! {#Headache}
Well that's about as white as anyone could make that song. Talk about sucking the soul out of something!
NO more cowbell...
make it stop!

Thought it was my son's high school marching band at first.

This is hilarious - it reminds me of a cassette my parents brought home years ago called 'Tijuana Christmas' by some unknown band.  They played trad Xmas songs in tijuana style, complete with the 'ting-a-ling-a-ling' cowbell in strategic places, just like this song.

It was so cheesy that we all loved it and played it every year.  This is truly horrible but I'm glad Bill played it.  I wouldn't want to hear it too often either, but once in a while would be really good, as well as other songs done in different styles {#Sunny}

hideous .... hideous ... doesn't matter if you like the original or not. This is awful on its own right.
This entire CD is way too much fun!
Honestly, is there anyone out there who really thinks that the original was actually good? I recall trying to work it out on the piano at age 14 or so, but like much of Deep Purple, there is really not so much there. In most respects, I like this version better than theirs. If you ponder the lyrics even for a moment (at your own risk), it is evident that this was another of those rock songs that exists to flesh out a riff they liked. I suspect much of all music has some aspects of this approach, but the original Smoke on the Water was not hitting all cylinders.
Better than that song about lime and coconut... but just barely.
coming soon to a Tarantino film near you!
Better than the originial. But then again, what isn't?

Hey check the songlist on the album - they cover 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson {#Roflol}
Hey, that was fun!  {#Cool}
Love it!
{#Think} ... thinking .... novel .... ironic ... fun!
This is balls-y.

2nd - I am not too much a fan of this type of thing (songs remade in different languages/styles).

So bad it's FUNNY{#Bounce}
C'mon, just have a sense of humor and roll with it, baby...the execution is actually good in its own, weird way if you're willing to listen with open ears...

come on, don't waste our time with this.

Works surprisingly well. Particularly the horns on the main riff - retains a sense of menace.

Don't know that I'd want to hear it every day, but made me smile this morning.
Honestly it's so poor. Maybe once was OK but seriously.....

I agree! At least with the first part.
Just remember folks, your submission that got 41 yes / 2 no on the LRC was "sorried" in favor of trash like this!

Unbelievable.  {#No}

I get it. I get every nuance of what's funny about it. I get that it's well done. That's why I give it a 4. But it's the most annoying 4 ever. It raises my blood pressure every time I hear it. And half the time makes me go play something real instead. If you've ever heard Esquivel, this is just elevator music. Tepid. Meh.

The only thing that keeps it out of the 1 gutter is that Bill sometimes plays Perez Prado after it.

and away we go! Huah!

O.0

First reaction: no frackin way. Dude! Second reaction: well, it's kinda cool, actually, in a kitchsy sorta way. Third reaction: I gotta upload Rondellus doing Black Sabbath as early-music, in Latin. It'd fit right in.
