Looking at the photo upthread, I wonder if Bette Midler discussed Doc Pomus at all with Lou and Jimmy Scott?

Susan, if you're reading this do a cover of 'I Keep a Close Watch', just to piss Laughing Lou off.
― State Attorney Foxhart Cubycheck (Billy Dods), Thursday, 9 September 2010 16:26 (fifteen years ago)
Okay seeing that cover with Lou, the sword and 'The secrets of hung men' together = WTH.

Not sure if I should read that literally or as some classical Chinese philosopher's name.

C'mon Lou, that sweet sweet Hallelujah money can pay for a llooooooot of tai chi lessons

maybe she should offer to have his instructor do moves during her performance?
― da croupier, Thursday, 9 September 2010 17:36 (fifteen years ago)
She should just do Leonard Cohen's "One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong," which I've always thought "Perfect Day" rips off.
― Olde Executioner 8hundo (Eazy), Thursday, 9 September 2010 18:41 (fifteen years ago)
Yes, Lou had to specifically give permission for that one as well, which he did.
And then said he wouldn't have if he'd known it was"English"...
jokingly.

q: do artists have any control over releases a cover of a song they have written?
― jed_, Monday, 8 November 2010 16:48 (fifteen years ago)
No, unless it's altered significantly. Unless the alteration is parody, which is covered by the laws of free speech.
― Mark G, Monday, 8 November 2010 16:49 (fifteen years ago)
ah right cheers.
i know tom waits has tried to suppress covers in the past, presumably even "straight" ones.
― jed_, Monday, 8 November 2010 16:56 (fifteen years ago)
huh, really? i dunno, it seems like a weird thing to do -- having someone cover you song is easy money, right?
― tylerw, Monday, 8 November 2010 17:01 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, but the particular cover that he blocked was for an advert.
Screaming Jay Hawkins did "Heartattack and Vine". It was still issued as a single tho.
― Mark G, Monday, 8 November 2010 17:04 (fifteen years ago)
Robert Smith blocked an e.p. by Terry Edwards, who did 3 cure songs with his trumpet.
I guess it was significantly different enough. Or maybe he was able to just be plain awkward to delay it coming out...
― Mark G, Monday, 8 November 2010 17:06 (fifteen years ago)
Tom Waits blocked Frito-Lay from having a fake Tom Waits do a fake Tom Waits song.
