Spiderbait

[Velvet Glove]

I liked the original version done many years ago. Anything else is just a cheap ass way of capitalising on someone else's good work. Cover versions are the haven of a lazy band. I had a lot of respect for Spiderbait up until this point, as their songs rocked and were original. Now they don't.

The clip is good though, the song is the problem

Excuse the negativity, just my opinion

I don’t have a problem with covers so much as the manufactured pop hits that are prevalent these days, with many of them seeming to do covers of older songs. In fact every second or third song these days seems to be a cover.

However if an established band/artist does a cover in their own style then quite often I like it. This has been going on for years. Eric Clapton has covered a variety of artists from JJ Cale (Cocaine and After Midnight) to Bob Marley (I Shot the Sheriff) and Robert Johnson (Crossroads). In fact he has recently released an entire album of Robert Johnson covers.

Sometimes the cover has become more famous than the original. The Rolling Stones Little Red Rooster is a recognised classic but is a cover of a Willie Dixon blues song. Muddy Waters has also done an acceptable (to me) cover of this song.

More recently I haven’t minded some covers:

Grinspoon’s version of INXS’s Don’t Change

Smashmouths version of the Monkeys (a manufactured band) I’m a Believer

But have detested others from established artists:

Madonna’s version of American Pie

The Moulin Rouge version of Lady Marmalade

I like this Spiderbait version of Black Betty. It’s a good song performed in the Spiderbait style.

A side note to this is the 'original hit' by Ram Jam like most early hits was ripped off from the Blues pioneers, Black Betty being originaly written and recorded by Huddie 'Leadbelly' Ledbetter.....so the "cheap ass way of capitalising on someone else's good work" you so enjoyed was also just cheap ass capitalisation of somebody else's good work.

To throw another curve ball in:

There is a houuuse in Newww Orleans they callllll the Rising Sun. . . .

Perhaps that was the original version that I was talking about many years ago ! I didnt mention Ram Jam

Same here. Loved the original version. Very few ripped off songs do it for me these days. Though there's been a few that were better than the orig.

I guess we're both getting old VG.
