lachlan slowly taming rustApparently, my habit of #CoverDiving through like 20 covers of the same song in a row isn't very neurotypical
The great thing of going #CoverDiving (although, that doesn't really work... more just performances) of "I've got a little list" from #GilbertAndSullivan's #TheMikado (or "The Modern-Major Generals Song") is that you get to hear new lyrics as well as little differences musically.
SINCE I'm sharing fast bluegrass covers of rock songs, this cover of AC⚡DCs "Thunderstruck" by Steve and The Seagulls is again, something . Something fast.
Thunderstruck by Steve'n'Seagulls (LIVE)
The "Great Big Sea" bluegrass cover of "It's the end of the end of the world as we know it" is extremely impressive. They are going so fast that, despite adding an extra repeat of the chorus, they knock about 90s off a pretty wordy song.

- Eric Burden and #TheAnimals - Ooh - 60s? Didn't look up, but it certainly sounds like 60s. Weird stereo panning, for instance. Similar voice to Jagger. It feels weirdly similar to the original whilst still being removed. Some really great bass lines.

That's it for now
- #BonnieTyler - again, exactly what you expect. I haven't looked it up, but I'm 80% sure that Steinman produced it. Delightful 80s power ballad. 80s drums, synth strings, Tyler's trademark breaking voice. Honestly, very corny in the best way. I laughed when it got to the 80s sax solo

- #JimmyBarnes - look, you've heard enough Barnes covers to already know exactly how this sounds, same selectively breaking voice, same, light piano, same drum build up in the last verse with him wailing, same organ, same horns. But, whilst predictable, very well done.

- #NinaSimone - more #jazz vibes than the others. Her voice works well with it
- #HumanNature - competent, but forgettable
- #PaulCanning - reasonable according version with good harmonies, but not in a rush to revisit
- #Slobberbone - a sleeper. Very decent alt country version. Worth checking out.
To love somebody covers:
- #Tragedy - a band that does nothing but metal covers of beegees. Sounds like a cross of AC/DC with Guns and Roses, and they do it with the Joan Jett 'I love rock and roll' riff. Interesting
- #LindiOrtega - decent country cover. She does emotion well.
- #JanisJoplin - reasonably intense, soul-y
