Covers by request...

Why you gotta be all proving me wrong and shit?

cool thread makes me wanna sing

sorry. but don;t listen to wiki. listen to matty. he knows what's going down.

wiki agreed with you

i may have something in here soon. depending on how drunk i get, and how many inhibitions i lose.

because y'all are fucking good. and i am amatuer. i play a pretty mean harp though. so maybe i'll just post some crazy freight train harp solo at 160bpm.

I for one, would LOVE to hear you rip some harmonica!

I love you guys for doing this, I mean it. I really enjoying listening to y'all.

Will someone sing Puff the Magic Dragon for me? That song makes me cry every single time I hear it, but it reminds me of my childhood because my mom used to sing it a lot when I was little.

Pleaaaase?

That sound like something Tins should do....she would sound sooo good on that one.

You should record an acoustic cover of The Desert by Paris and the Hiltons.

Which is this song:

Gonna try and learn Hurt. The Johnny Cash version. It's fairly simple apparently, but it's gonna take me a whiiiile.

I was gonna do a cover of Hey Hey by Eric Clapton, but I sound like a tool when I'm singing...

don't worry, Pete, i'm about to lower the bar for everyone. well, for those of us that don't have that natural sex to our voices and sound more closely related to the twang of Bob Dylan.

i've just got to work out what to cover. i've never really been to into covers.

Someone do Rake by Townes Van Zandt. Do Eet!

yeah, i'll probably do some Dylan. I love the guy, but let's face it, you can't really sound bad singing one of his songs because a) technically, you're probably a better singer than him and b.) he writes simply beautiful melodies.

i might have a go at I Shall Be Released. it' be good if i had Garageband, because then i could do the high harmony as well. sigh.

Matt, you could download Audacity. It's for PC's and it's free.

Mikerocuts recommended to me.

yeah, i think i've heard of that one.

i have an old 8 track recorder, but that's way to much effort. i think if i do something i'll just do a live take on the webcam. quality won't be outstanding, but it doesn't really matter.

I <3 Audacity.

(Long) December - Counting Crows

Have you heard Colorblind??? If not...go to youtube now!

I like this topic. Thread=good.

Gooch - Z and I were talking about doing this, but I'd like to see your take on it.

I'm not a huge Oasis fan, but I really love this song:

Married With Children

If you need the chords, I'll PM the music to you. I can get it to you in PDF too.

Awesome....yeah, I'm sure I can find music, but since you have it, send it over. Thanks.

i have tried two songs, but they both seem to not be doable....Should I pick something else?

Sorry Levi. I'm still going to try the Bowie song, because I said I would. But it's not something I'm into....so it might not sound worthwhile. If you have a few songs that you really like....post them and I PROMISE to put at least one of them up.

it's ok. I'll look for something else that's more....you.

...and I wish EVERYONE ELSE would POST MORE.

thanks.

P.S. PETE!!!! I wanna at LEAST hear you play some guitar man. You're my new ugly girlfriend. Swoon me beast.
And Fuck it. sing something. Even if you sound like Lou Reed's shower fart, I wanna smell it.

ok, this is definitely doable on the guitar, obviously. and it's a good song!

A. I don't want you to say that and then post something like "Everybody do the Dinosaur"

B. I don't want you yo find something that you think is me...do you, just maybe give me a little more choice.

i still picked something that has an acoustic feel and i felt was doable. I picked something I like, don't worry!

Here's the music for Married With Children. I got it off of the Ultimate-Guitar site and I converted it to pdf so you can view print it.

Here

I hate making excuses for performances, but this is the first time I picked up my guitar in over a year, and only the second time going through the song. There is a lot of coughing, fumbling, and general awfulness. But it's the easiest song to replay and Alecia keeps asking for it.

Singing Puff the Magic Dragon in your workout clothes feels pretty damn gay, but I'm okay with that. Happy nightmares, kids!

(artwork by 6/.)

Mike - You make all these excuses in the beginning and then you're a great singer.

Why is everybody such good singers! You will never hear my lazy MI accent singing anything!

AHhhh!!!! Mike, that was awesome. You crack me up, you silly goose.

We should record an album and call it "The Cult's Greatest Hits" with Phil's rap song being the pièce de résistance.

Pogues.

Dirty Old Town or Brown Eyes.

Tuff that's one for Matt. Gooch playing guitar and singing. And Matt can record the Harp over it. That would be awesome!

Anyone here play uilleann pipes?

I don't even know what that is...

Before anybody can yell at me to make research... I did.

So thanks Gooch!

I'll have to think up something to play that will sound good with just guitar. Maybe Over the Hills and Far Away? It's been so long since I've played that... I'm gonna need to practice a whole bunch first. lol

Now that I've gotten to know you - I know that this is your attempt at a compliment. Which is OK - because this is how me and my friends really talk to each other.

So thanks Gooch!

Glad you didn't think it was anything other than a compliment. Anything you feel like playing is fine with me. Once we hear it, the requests are going to come. Oh, and I love the new avatar. Is that random, or a baby you know? (haha a baby you know sounds like you might work with a 9 month old at the office. "Bob....Morning." "Peter......ditto and I'm gonna need those TPS reports." -Of course THAT baby might have cooler dialogue, given his tolerance for a sleeve at such an age.

Made an attempt. It sounded horrible. Not good at spontaneously playing/singing songs I don't know.

Musicianfail.

Gooch I was just searching stuff it was totally random.

Funny thing is after I switched it to that, I told Z that for some reason it made me think of if you had another kid. Or Gooch as a baby? lol. (Please don't take that wrong.)

Try again.

Do Dirty Old Town for me and you can have anything you want.

Hahhaha...no, that's funny. You can crack jokes, takes shots even. I'm not going to take it wrong coming from you.

That's funny. My wife was like, that's a cool picture. That looks like something you would do. I'm jealous when I see it!

This is the best thing any Cultie has EVER EVER EVER EVER done for me!!!!

I cried, just like always! I lose it at "a dragon lives forever, but not so little boys..."

That was so awesome, Mike, I really can't begin to tell you how I feel. So I'll show you...(I'm sorry you sound squeaky, I think it's just my webcam)..

erm, youtube is taking forever to upload my vid, so I'll edit this when it's done.

Also, you said my name just like my Dad does! And your ad libs were hilarious! I <3 you, mang!

Awww. My work here is done.

Here's what I hate about this thread: I have .04 minutes of freetime on any given day, and now I wanna start practicing guitar again and do more covers.

Ugh. I messed up two or three times, but I'm posting this anyway, because if I keep doing it over and over until it's perfect, it'll never get posted. So, for a better version, have Matt or Gooch do it, too.

I will extract my fee in the future times, when you are caught unawares.

Thank you.
