I love that instrument! Thanks, now I know what it’s called.
It’s also used in that Cake song, Short Skirt/Long Jacket
Another one by CC & the Quarantine Kids, and then I’ll stop because there are many.
Posted without comment or context:
I may have oversold it. I just know that the hairs on the back of my neck stood up when I heard it. Maybe it was the glass armonica.
OK boomer.
Not quite, Gen-Xer. But Neil Young was of course our generation’s godfather.
That might be the best OK, Boomer I’ve heard… because “Dude, I want to listen to a song with weed in it…” is extremely Boomer.
…
Regards,
A boomer who back in the 60s thought slipping high or Mary Jane or joint into a song was really “stickin’ it to the man, man…”
(Damn kids these days, with their Medical Chronic Cards, they’ll never understand…)
Well, you shouldn’t expect too much, they were just three friends who liked to sing together. Here’s an earlier song that shows what they could do, just sitting around, covering an old favorite…
And for those who don’t like the boomer take, here is a more modern version along the same lines (as Johanna says at the start, "our favorite version is the one done by Trio…).
since its Xmas id thought id drop this in as some of the best Christmas covers … but I have no clue if there’s actual videos as all I’ve seen is songs playing to the album cover on yt
I love this, guiro and all.
mmm
Shinyribs covering Brokedown Palace.
Ah, but you see, that’s the problem. When you have Fabulous to the Third Power, you tend to have pretty high expectations. That song was just ‘Great’, not ‘Knock you down a flight of Stairs’.
mmm - Here’s one just for you. Hold the guiro! 
The 2001 version of “Halleluja” in Shrek is a well known cover:
Shrek: Hallelujah (2001) (VHS Capture) - Bing video
But perhaps even better known is the cover of that released on the album, featuring a similar arrangement but a different voice. I think this is it:
Shrek Hallelujah Lyrics - YouTube.
And both are way better than the … Elvis Presley version. No wonder I never heard of it before Shrek.
ELVIS PRESLEY HALELUJA - YouTube
And — there’s a lot of versions out there now, including that by the author, which, in comparison, serve to illustrate how closely the Shrek versions stuck to the Elvis Presley instrumentation.
Elvis died in 1977, and Hallelujah was written circa 1984. I have no idea who’s actually performing that, but it ain’t Elvis.
Well that certainly explains why I’d never heard of the Elvis version before

Belfast teen rock trio Dea Matrona covering Oh Well by Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac.
I know nothing about her career or life but I every time I hear her sing I am amazed at why she never had great success. Beautiful and an outstanding voice is usually a winning combo.
I’ll offer up her singing with Postmodern Jukebox (which are fabulous):
Another favorite Postmodern Jukebox song featuring Allison Young covering “Mr. Blue Sky” by ELO (strongly recommend this one too):
Prelude cover “After the Gold Rush” by Neil Young from 1974. This recording 1983.
My favourite cover: guess it’s my age!
That was great! Never heard that version.
Here’s another excellent cover of Oh Well by the Rockets.
