We’ve got a lot of people here who like music; we’ve got several “Domino” game threads; why not combine the two? Here’s how it works: Each domino is a cover song - “Song” by Artist X, originally by Y. To connect, you can either play - another cover song by Artist X, - another cover originally done by Y, - Y covering someone else’s song, or - Artist Z covering a song originally by Artist X. So, let’s say “Like A Rolling Stone” by Jimi Hendrix, originally by Bob Dylan is in play. Possible plays would include - Jimi’s version of “Wild Thing” originally by The Troggs - The Byrds version of “Mr. Tambourine Man” by Dylan - Bob Dylan’s version of " Mr. Bojangles" by Jerry Jeff Walker - Stevie Ray Vaugn’s version of “Little Wing” originally by Hendrix I’ll start with “Like A Rolling Stone” by Jimi Hendrix, originally by Bob Dylan [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/RBVGa5D6GDY/maxresdefault.jpg "Like a Rolling Stone") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBVGa5D6GDY) ---

Bob Dylan covering Richard Berry’s “Louie Louie”, as I just learned the other day in [this thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/did-bob-dylan-ever-record-louie-louie/950740/2).

How about some Chris Smither doing Visions Of Johanna. (If we get stuck in a Dylan chain this thread it ain’t never gonna end.) https://www.youtube.com/embed/dnK4mxTvECA?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque&list=OLAK5uy_lXjZxx4mEX37mYMKalFmaR2QDDlFP_Izc ---

Well, I opened up the path to “Louie Louie”, but this also could lead to an endless loop. 😉 ---

Well, I _could_ post a certain Blind Willie McTell cover by Dylan, but I won’t do it to not get entangled in that loop. ---
