I dug through a lot of shit to really find the essence of what it means to cover "my sharona" and I think it's either this

or this

I'm curious about the release date in relation to when songs like "I Wanna Be Sedated" started getting more popular.

― billstevejim, Monday, April 30, 2012 2:02 PM (1 hour ago) Bookmark

well, the video was shot 9 years after the song's original release on the occasion of the Ramones Mania comp, and it seems like it's kind of attained its current pop culture profile only since then, although it was probably picked to promote the best-of because it was already one of their more popular songs, so that's a chicken and egg thing. i think it kinda became more of an evergreen alt-rock radio song in the mid-90s when they got all the farewell tour publicity, though.

O_O

so Sister Paul is basically "we're a hardcore band that loves Soft Cell"

this edges the Better than Ezra cover of the same song because of the insightful commentary from YouTube user krenZitapynk in the comments

oh man the vocals on the "Jeopardy" cover are going to be a disappointment, aren't they

oh man NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT

these videos really demonstrate the dangers to punk's whole 'so easy anyone can do it' rule

Sister Paul is seriously my new favorite band, you guys.

oh man NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT

ha no if you got Fields of the Nephilim/Mission skeletons in your closet then the Greek "Jeopardy" cover is the clear class of the field here

That "Jeopardy" cover has everything. It's LONGER than the original song, it has an intro that goes on forever, it sets you up for what you think is going to be Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You," it's got the world's worst Layne Staley impersonator . . . It's the perfect track, basically. In all of history there is none better.

this is actually kinda good & isn't punk, I'm sorry, it's just that the punk ones I found were just so exactly what you'd think and I think I've hit the wall on that shit now unfortunately. sorry for letting everybody down

man there's a lotta goth ass motherfuckers went and covered "here comes the rain again" let me tell you & also a Swedish act doing it as a bossa which I rather enjoyed however as an enthusiast of distinct vocal styles I feel this one will be hard to beat

you guys, this fucking musical

and yeah that musical - I mean - trying to play "it must be love" for depth requires either gigantic balls or a naivete so total as to defy imagination

I am a fan of Just Joe, aka "Steroid Daughtry"

I am also a fan of Elephat Records before even hearing a note
