Coverville 260: These requests are nothing to sneeze at.
Here's what's on the show tonight (Note: at about 16 minutes into the show, I sneeze. Normally, I'd edit this out - and you'll hear me mention that - but my audio editing program isn't launching. It's late, and I want this show to go out tonight. So I'm uploading it as is. This is the behind the scenes stuff, folks... Have a chuckle on me.) :

Utterly mystified by the provenance of the "California Dreamin" cover - I know dada very well, and saw them perform this cover in a bitter cold night in Minneapolis in 1994 or so. However, my edition of EL SUBLIMINOSO doesn't have this cover - where did you or your listener find a studio version of the song?
Posted by: Michael at November 6, 2006 9:45 AMIt's a bonus track on the 2004 rerelease of the album. Here's a link to the album in Amazon: El Subliminoso. The track was only previously available in the UK and Japan.
Posted by: Brian Ibbott at November 6, 2006 9:52 AMFYI the fergie original is called london bridge, not london bridges, not sure about the cover. Good show, even though I had hear 3 of the songs previously, and thanks for inspiring me to go to not lame, which is something I've been meaning to do.

Posted by: Dave at November 6, 2006 6:02 PMI'm going to do a cover of The Sneeze.
Posted by: Len at November 6, 2006 9:36 PMBless you!
That Opie Gone Bad cover was superb; not heard that before I think.
I had to scroll through Take on me as I was becoming suicidal. Sure that wasn't Radiohead? :-)
Posted by: Wayne from the UK at November 7, 2006 6:48 AMI'm trying to find the Take On Me cover on the web and can't find it through the link you provided. Can you double check it for me?
Posted by: Antonio at November 17, 2006 7:16 AMWow. I am way behind on these, but just listened last night and absolutely LOVE the Angela McCluskey cover of Love Is Stronger Than Death. Thought I would hate it, because the original is one of my favorite songs. GREAT! Thank you!
