Amanda and Rich talk about cover songs. How do they relate to the originals? What's the definitive version of the song? The better version? What makes them interesting musically? Is it a karaoke version? Great but unknown? A horror show? A complete surprise? A Hasselhoff?

447 - A Message To You Rudy - The CoverUp

A breakthrough moment in the history of Rock Steady puts us on a musical path that's both familiar and incredibly unfamiliar. A Message To You Rudy, originally by Dandy Livingstone, covered by The Specials, and by Skatune Network. Outro music is Your Horoscope For Today, by Weird Al Yankovic, which lets us wrap the episode firmly back in Ska-Land.

446 - The Twist - The CoverUp

A listener request brings us one of the classic songs of Rock and Roll with the most unlikely origin story, and we get to call out a music recognition organization that isn't the Grammys. The Twist, originally by Hank Ballard and The Midnighters, covered by Chubby Checker. Outro music is Back In The Saddle Again, by Gene Autry, though Zach's suggestion would have been right on as well.

445 - My Generation - The CoverUp

An early song that could have easily defined a band's career, but instead just gave us a glimpse of what was to come, and a cover by a great band that was out in the wilderness making some bad choices. My Generation, originally by The Who, covered by Iron Maiden. Outro music is Roll Away The Stone, by Mott The Hoople.

444 - Heaven Is A Place On Earth - The CoverUp

A song that reestablishes a seasoned and successful artist as a new kind of force, and a cover that embraces musical complexity in a brilliant but subtle way. Heaven Is A Place On Earth, originally by Belinda Carlisle, covered by The Mayries. Outro music is I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me), by Whitney Houston, because this song is inevitable.

443 - Life Is A Highway - The CoverUp

Great lessons to learn from one of the all-time road songs, a cover that understands the assignment more than the song — oh, and Rich flubs his kids' birthdays, but that's OK, because we only recorded this on Father's Day. Life Is A Highway, originally by Tom Cochrane, covered by Rascal Flatts. Outro music is Another One Rides The Bus by Weird Al Yankovic.

442 - The Ghost In You - The CoverUp

441 - Lean On Me - The CoverUp

A listener prods us to dive into one of the great songs in American music, and in the process we flirt with musical diabetes. Lean On Me, originally by Bill Withers, covered by Club Nouveau. Outro music is The Candy Man by Sammy Davis Jr.

440 - Dancing Barefoot - The CoverUp

An impossibly compelling songs from one of the most important writers and performers in American music, and a great band tries something different. Dancing Barefoot, originally by the Patti Smith Group, covered by U2. Outro music is Desire, also by U2.
