Blashemy!

I don't like cover songs at the best of times. Yeah, I know most bands start out as cover bands and that's the only time I'll let it slide. You gotta start somewhere, right?

Well, I've noticed a recent trend in bubblegum pop groups covering or sampling Depeche Mode.

What's going on? Have the pop group manufacturers laid off all the writers in the factory due to the economy?

I made it through 25 seconds of The Saturdays cover of Just Can't Get Enough (I know, a long time but I had to hear the first line) and two things went through my mind: 

1) I wish I was deaf
2) A bad cover song should be punished with jail time with no option of parole

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Come on, I was hopeing you forgot about the H.D. cover. You can make fun of The Saturdays but not Hil.Duff. Plus, her video for the song is her first super sexy video.

Oh and I'm guessing you didn't like my cover of Depeche Mode for Guitar Hero???

Now we just have to wait and see if "GOD", sorry I mean Morrissey will do a cover and how you would like it?!

I love the title of the post. You know it took me a while to figure it out???

Great New Post!!! One of my FAVS :)

Morrissey could cover the alphabet in Urdu and I would like it.

There are so many grammar and spelling errors in this comment that I may do my next post on grammar.

Great comment!!! One of my FAVS :)
