A Trip to Wonderland

Pogo, from Perth, splices together clips and sounds from old Disney classics to make beautiful original tracks - with a gorgeous nostalgic trip down memory lane to boot.

Here's a medley:


This track is called "Wishery", comprising vocals, syllables, musical chords and sound effects from the 1937 Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Dad and little daughter sing a 90's classic

This is the cutest, the absolute cutest.

Oops, oh my.

So here is a very cool song (also a COVER! OMG!). It has the added, awkward bonus of featuring some super 'sessey' footage of Lindsay Lohan doing rather osé stuff (a few of the viewer comments: Lindsey is a HOT MESS!!!!  and OMGZ I SAW A NIPPLE sum it up nicely).

Well, it's entertaining if nothing else!!
Here is the original version of the song, which... Oh dear God. this whole SONG is about dark-sided things!!! Those lyrics! That gyratin'! It ain't Christian, I tell you! (It's a good thing I'm not wearing my God Warrior hat this evening, or this post would not have happened).

No but seriously, that first song is sweet.

'night!

Covers - Falling Down

The Original: Tom Waits

The Revision: Scarlett Johansson

This is a live version by S.J. (I can't embed the studio version, but it sounds different and lovely-- almost like it was recorded underwater. I think David Bowie collaborated on the track, too). She actually did an entire album of Tom Waits covers, which drew mixed reviews, especially from die-hard Waits fans (among whom I can't say I count myself...).

I thoroughly enjoy her album though.

I guess both of them are kindof an acquired taste...ENJOOOOOOOYYYYY

Hey Ya!

COVER ME

I'm starting a new series on WotB. In it, I'm going share with you something I love to to do on my own - compare song covers with their originals! (yaaaayyy, applause). It's sometimes surprising how much room for interpretation a melody and some lyrics leave - and how a different interpretation can feel like a completely new (and better?) song altogether.

First up, "Islands in the Stream".

Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers


Constantines and Feist


(there's a Bee Gees one in there too... but I don't think it's that special).
