My reading comprehension lessens with lack of sleep. I was wondering how long before you caught that. ---

Took me a whole 21 minutes. I must be slipping. It’s ok - I think (upon reflection) I know which game you were thinking of - “Jane’s USAF”, right? Haven’t played it myself yet. ---

- Cat Power - Moonshiner (traditional via Bob Dylan) - the best of many covers of this that I’ve heard, and a rare case where changing the gender of the narrator makes it sound even better yep I find that her cover albu is one of the best things she has ever done. Her cover of the stones “satisfaction” is a real beauty. in another genre scott walker’s versions of jaques brel songs is very good ---

AHHHHHHHHHH!!! FenixTx did a cover of that song “Is she really going out with him?” I forget who orginally did that song, but it was on the There’s Something About Mary soundtrack. ---

Video Killed the Radio Star, also covered by Ben Folds Five. Also, Joan Jett did a cover of Sly and the Family Stone’s song “Everyday People” and a damn good cover of the Mary Tyler Moore theme song. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cover-songs/35870.md?page=4)
