LOL no I didn’t! Why on earth does she need all the echoes? And the dancing? I had to clean my ears out by listening to the original.
Though apparently some people like the cover version, who knows why. It has over 30 million views.

  10. Got to Get You into My Life - Earth, Wind, and Fire

Released for the Sgt. Pepper movie soundtrack some 12 years after the original Beatles version, EWF took an average song and turned it into a smash hit, landing #1 on the R&B Chart, winning a Grammy, and becoming the band’s signature song.

They made a dramatic improvement to a Lennon/McCartney song; they were that good.

Pass.

Deep cuts

  1. Chain Lightning - Steely Dan

Deep cuts

  1. Chain Lightning - Steely Dan
  2. Queen of Spades - Styx

You won’t find it on any Greatest Hits albums of theirs, and I don’t think there’s a karaoke version either, but it’s one of their hardest rocking songs.

Deep cuts

  1. Chain Lightning - Steely Dan
  2. Queen of Spades - Styx
  3. Fire on High - Electric Light Orchestra

I love the strange, backward-masking opening, and the driving guitar riff in the main portion of the song.

Deep cuts

  1. Chain Lightning - Steely Dan
  2. Queen of Spades - Styx
  3. Fire on High - Electric Light Orchestra
  4. Piggies - The Beatles

My favorite verse of this completely unhinged song:

Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You should see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives
To eat their bacon!
