[MORE COVERS]
... I just have music sitting around on Mediafire, okay? Plus I want to marry this theme and have perfect little mp3 babies with it.
MCFLY [Don't Stop Me Now]
THIS SONG. IS SO HAPPY. It makes me happy. I actually like it better than the original by Queen, gasp. I mean, it has the overly-polished feel of modern pop, but Mcfly seems to ooze happiness from their every pore. Give this song a try, seriously. ♥
FLYLEAF [What's This?]
Nightmare Before Christmas cover, COME ON. Jack discovering Christmas Town was kind of a manic and gleeful sequence, but Flyleaf's version is so melancholic it burnnsssss.
RISE AGAINST [Making Christmas]
Another Nightmare Before Christmas cover. I love this one, which surprised even me, since I don't have much tolerance for screaming in music. BUT. This time it works -- and the screaming technically lasts for like, three seconds anyway -- because there's a narrative in the song and even when they're rocking at a breakneck pace, it's expressive and a really fun listen. I love that they did the mad scientist laugh, haha.
JONATHAN COULTON [Still Alive]
You know. That song from the game with the portals and your bff the pet box and the cake being a lie. Yeah, that one.
ELVIS COSTELLO [Beautiful]
Elvis Costello takes Christina Aguilera's Beautiful and turns it into a gritty, subtle song. It actually sounds a lot more heartfelt than the original, especially with his vocals. I searched for this track for days after watching that one episode of House; apparently it was recorded specially for the show.
