Everyone must have a fav song. Well one of my favourite song is Last Christmas sung by the british duo Wham. It was a hit back in 1984...and is still a hit with me now.
Press the stop button on the ipod to listen to these songs..
A rule with good songs is that...in time it will be covered by other artists. These are called 'cover' songs.
Last Christmas is covered EASILY by over a dozen singers like Kimberly Locke, Back Street Boys, Jamelia, Manic Street Preachers, Hillary Duff, Taylor Swift, Savage Garden and even by an American Idol finalist Carrie Underwood.
I kindda like a version sung by Cascada. It is an upbeat version.
Taylor Swift's version has a bit of country swing in it.
What about Ashley Tisdale...you know the girl from High School Musical.
Now how to let the younger generation enjoy this song...??
Easy...do a techno version.
What about the music snobs that deplore techno junkies, pesky boy bands and all sizzle but no substance teeny boopers..??
Well, let Coldplay do a cover. Yeah you heard me...COLDPLAY.
Now how cool is that...???
You have to satisfy the vile purist too. You know the type that insist a song to contain written musical notes and have some difficulity in playing it. So here's Kotaro Oshio playing Last Christmas...
But a song to be covered by the infamous Crazy Frog means it has reached the pinacle of popularity and success. Enuff said..
