It's kind of hard for me to do this theme. Covers are second nature to me so its unnatural to get really hyped up about them. So I figure I'll talk about some of the musicians that are frequently covered. For instance, Britney Spears. First it was "Hit Me One More Time" that garnered cover after cover and now the song that gets them is "Toxic". It's the song that is widely accepted as Britney's song with the most crossover appeal to the alternative rock crowd. It's the Britney Spears song you can have on your iPod without getting chastised. So when bands started covering it, it wasn't a surprise. Hard Fi did it for the Live Lounge. Yael Naim has covered it unplugged. Boss Hoss did it country style. Nickel Creek added a little Bluegrass. Hurra Torpedo slowed it down into a sludge rock dirge. And Local H probably did the best job by just rocking the song the f out.
