Hmmm, this would be the time when I start up a new theme but I have no idea what to do for the new theme. Well, how about covers. Covers are a big part of my day in, day out listening so why not do a theme all about them. I am a firm believer in the idea that songs are not meant to be done by just one artist alone. Why should a song only be done by one band if another band can add a new perspective? Take for instance, the Zutons' song "Valerie". On it's own, it's an okay song. It's a rocker that doesn't light the world on fire. But what if you take that song and give it some soul. Make it feel kinda Motown. Add some horns and a female vocalist. Now that's the ticket and that's exactly what Mark Ronson did. I will say that I like Panic at the Disco's version slightly better but in the end, it's Ronson's version that set the tone for their version too. And both make the original pale in comparison.
