You missed your window of opportunity on that bad boy, since it was featured in "There’s Something About Mary." That would have been the time. So, pay attention to what oldies are showing up in popular movies, and do those. Whole careers were made on covering Motown after "The Big Chill" came out.
Response:
The best response to any cover that I’ve ever played is War Pigs by Black Sabbath.

This might just be what we’re looking for – people often jokingly request Sabbath, but we don’t know any….. Thanks!! — O< "Pthbt!" (( )) <( ) Z | |_ Steve

My straps came loose and the whole bass came crashing down on stage…luckily no damage done…but the connector (is that the right name for it ?) from the cable was snapped in half, and now the top 5mm (about 1/4" inch) of the metal tip is stuck in the jack…i’ve already tried using tweezers and opening up the back….neither to any avail…. any suggestions on what i can do right now short of taking it to a repair shop (which i’m pretty sure i’ll have to do) ? thanx, Ray

Good song! Alot of the early Who stuff is fun to play. I’d like to do the entire Quadrophenia album one day. Jack

Television’s "See No Evil"… can’t get any simpler for us deep banjo players, but still has the most exhilarating twin guitar solo, ever… Magazine’s "Shot By Both Sides"… The Jam’s "Going Underground"… PiL’s "Public Image" (IF the vocalist can approximate the whining nasal vocal)… The Who’s "Substitute"… rarely covered from what I can tell, yet easy to brand your own… BT68uk "A great song doesn’t need a musician wanking over it".

I agree – it’s aweful, but people like it, and we don’t sound that bad. :) — O< "Pthbt!" (( )) <( ) Z | |_ Steve

Build me up buttercup ? Oh but wait, there hasn’t been a cover of that yet. What say we try to get someone like, oh I don’t know, Linkin Park to do a cover of build me up buttercup and then I’ll have been right all along about what a great tune it is. I’ve grabbed the wrong end of the stick again, haven’t I ?
Response:
I’ve found that tunes that have had a resurgence in popularity because they’ve been covered are usually great tunes to have in your book. For example: Last Kiss. Older people remember it from when I first came out and the young people like it because Pearl Jam redid it. Other tunes that are like this are: I shot the Sheriff, Big Yellow Taxi, American Woman, Drift Away, and now Boys of Summer. Anyone have any other ones like this? — O< "Pthbt!" (( )) <( ) Z | |_ Steve
