Middle Aged Dad Jam Band doing Billy Joel’s [“Scenes From an Italian Restaurant”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ve6R_p4hsfk&pp=ygUQTWlkZGxlIGFnZWQgZGFkcw%3D%3D) with Weird Al sitting in on accordian. The group seems to be music industry pros who just recently launched a YT channel. Maybe not a “great” cover but a great combination of professionalism and goofiness.

TIL [Sly and the Family Stone covered Doris Day’s “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGkWuZxuP-4). By all rights this should be a weird and terrible mismatch. Much to my surprise, it is not. But it is a very different vibe to Day’s version. ---

This is an odd one - more of a remix than a cover, but I really don’t know where else to post it. Most music fans of Doper age will know All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople; and probably that it was written and produced by David Bowie. In fact Bowie recorded a version himself. However, I didn’t know until yesterday that as part of the recording process of the Mott The Hoople version, Bowie laid down a guide vocal to demonstrate how the song worked - and then Ian Hunter recorded the vocal for the finished recording. And, some time later, the Mott The Hoople version was “remixed” using Bowie’s guide vocal. And I believe I have managed to track it down.

I was at a pizza place in St. Paul a few months ago. Good 'za, and some bluesy tunes on the sound system. And then a cover of _Right Down the Line_ came on; female vocalist, fantastic song. I had to ask the guy working there who it was. [Bonnie Raitt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T_aMNbXVdA) ---

Dengue Fever are a lot of fun and yes, the whole story around recruiting Chhom Nimol is entertaining. Not sure how I feel about this cover yet, but I like some of their other work. ---

I hated Osborne’s one hit (“One of Us”), but in recent years I’ve heard her covers of various songs, and they are always very well-executed. She doesn’t do that annoying “woe is me”-style of cover songs with the high-pitched, breathy voice and a ukelele.
