This cover of the Friends theme might make having I'll Be There For You stuck in my head for the next week worth it.

Ruby Isle - Skinny Love (Bon Iver)

Yeah, I know, there's been so much Bon Iver worship on the Internet in the last few months that it's getting a little hard to take, but still...think back to the moment when the raw beauty of Skinny Love first worked into your ears. Click through that link and listen to it again, if you want.

Got that moment now? Good.

Now listen to the Ruby Isle cover of Skinny Love.

This may be the inappropriate cover against which all others will be measured.

REM - King of the Road (Roger Miller cover)

I think there is a shred of humor in this one?

The Clash - King of the Road (Roger Miller cover)

Yes, Virginia, the "outtakes and rarities" collection is a double-edged sword. It pains me to have to say this, as my usual policy is "the more Clash, the better," but even I have my limits: this track should never have seen the light of day.

This rehersal outtake has the Clash covering Roger Miller's classic "King of the Road." Badly. I could get past the awful vocals if the they had showed some shred of humor in the presentation--this is a novelty song, after all--but no. It's just a plain old inappropriate cover.
