Coverville 124: The Elvis Costello Cover Story
Call him what you will. Declan Patrick McManus. Napoleon Dynamite. Howard Coward. Elvis Costello. To celebrate his 52nd birthday, I bring you the Elvis Costello Cover Story, complete with a co-host, Mr. Chris Browne! Here's what we play in-between our endless blather:
| Title | Artist | Original Version Found On: |
| (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding? | Brinsley Schwarz | Elvis covered it on Armed Forces |
| Oliver's Army | Blur | Armed Forces |
| Alison | Linda Ronstadt | My Aim Is True |
| Busy Bodies | Fastball | Armed Forces |
| Girls Talk | Elvis Costello | Taking Liberties |
| Girls Talk | Dave Edmunds | Dave covered it on Repeat When Necessary |
| Shipbuilding | Tasmin Archer | Punch the Clock |
| Days | Elvis Costello | Originally by the Kinks from Kink Kronicles |
| Tear Off Your Own Head | The Bangles | When I Was Cruel |
September is going to Covertember at Podcast Alley. Details to come!
explicit material?Another great show Brian. Loved the mock SNL intro. I'm roadtripping with a friend this weekend who watched that broadcast with me, some 27 or 28 years ago - what a coincidence!
