jonmc!!!! My coworker and I are arguing over the song "Queen of Hearts".

He says (and is older and therefore probably right) that the song was originally done by Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe.

I only know it by Juice Newton.

Internet searches aren't helping...
Yeah, he's right, and I think I have it on vinyl somwhere, but no digital copies, sorry.

Juice's other hit "Angel Of The Morning," was originally done by Merilee Rush (who did a surprisingly good cover of "Reach Out, I'll Be There," which is a ballsy choice). Seems she specialized in covers, perhaps to compensate for being named "Juice."

that is such a good song. There is a really nice reggae version as well.

There's also a good reggae version of Hotel California, not that it matters . . .

There's a terrific ska version of the theme to Bonanza. No, I'm not kidding.

Welcome to a pandas dirty asshole.
Such a dirty room.
Like a Hilton's womb.
Plenty of room in a pandas dirty asshole.
Any time of day,
we'll leave the light on.

On a dark Asian highway
Cool breeze in my hair
Warm smell of colitis
Rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance
I saw a disgusting sight
My head grew heavy and my stomach turned
I had to stop for the night

I thought MetaFilter's motto was:
"You can log out any time you like,
But you can never leave."

And RainFlo, YOUR mind is Tiffany twisted.

I've got a great ska version of the Batman (the Burton film) theme song.

I thought this was a cover of the Fear song by the same name, but alas it's even better. (NSFW)

I love you all with cupcakes and big sloppy kisses. And I'm not even drunk. Yet.

Carlos Malcolm - Bonanza Ska.

Search AMG by song title, sort by date. Find "Juice", scroll up to see earliest track by the same songwriter (not artist). I do this all the time to see if something is a cover.
