Springfield Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 ****es Ain't **** - Ben Folds To be honest, when I pulled this one up I thought it was going to be a joke. It is, but it's also a pretty damn good song. No where near the original but I had to give it a second listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Here is a little knowledge on the cover song most people don't know. Blue Swede Shoes was a Carl Perkins song. When he did it, it became the only song to ever be the #1 song on the three major rankings. It still is I believe. RCA, who had just brought Elvis over, told him to cover the song and he wouldn't do it for 6 months because he and Carl were friends. Perkins brother and himself, became Johnny Cash's back up band years later and Luther Perkins, played with Cash until Cash died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
