Cover Your Heads Part III

4 of the next 4 songs will hit SONiC this Thursday at 10 pm...

9. CAKE - I Will Survive
Original artist Gloria Gaynor was more that just another disco queen, she was a pioneer. She made one of the first ever "you-are-supposed-to-dance-to-this" albums (in other words, dance music). She even did a performance for Pope John Paul II... Like Johnny, she was a born-again Christian, so that kind of helped her not die of drug abuse and such.

10. THE CLASH - I Fought The Law
First performed by Buddy Holly's Band "The Crickets" in 1960, the famous cover is by the Bobby Fuller Four in 1966. Bobby Fuller's death is still the subject of controversy, as he was found with a stomach full of gasoline and was beaten badly. The police ruled suicide.. That means that practically nobody that has a famous version of this song is alive... creepy.

11. U2/GREEN DAY - The Saints are Coming
Member of the original artists for this song (The Skids), guitarist Stuart Adamson, was a punk rocker, but he went on to perform with the decidedly un-punk Big Country. He took his own life in 2001 just before the band was to open for Bryan Adams.

12. PEARL JAM - Last Kiss
Originally written and performed by Wayne Cochran, the version everyone knows is J. Frank Wilson's. You have to see Wayne Cochran to believe him. He once had a pompadour which doesn't seem possible, and it is platinum blond. He screamed his voice into oblivion by the mid 1960's. Screamo bands, let that be a warning to you.
