And not just any winter, but one that completely fails to anticipate Olivia Rodrigo. Stick Season, originally by Noah Kahan, covered by Alex Melton. </p> <p>Outro music is Good 4 U by the aforementioned Olivia Rodrigo, who isn't heard anywhere else in the episode — just to be clear. </p>]]>

Even better, it's sung for the film by Jim Cummings, who is also the voice of Winnie the Pooh. Take a moment to collect your thoughts. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>An influential band's signature song that found its place for multiple generations, and a cover by an artist who seems to look into our world through her own special lens. Rasputin, originally by Boney M, covered by AURORA. </p> <p>Outro music is In The Dark Of The Night, which is Rasputin's villain song in Anastasia. Even better, it's sung for the film by Jim Cummings, who is also the voice of Winnie the Pooh. Take a moment to collect your thoughts. </p>]]>

And it's a doozie, with an unforgettable dance / hip-hop classic covered earnestly by one of the least hip-hop superstars still on the stage today. My Humps, originally by The Black Eyed Peas, covered by Alanis Morissette. </p> <p>Outro music is new to this episode, and we've added King of Pain also by Alanis Morissette, from her MTV Unplugged show. It's super cool. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>We celebrate our 400th episode with a song we love. It's a standout for the original band in a number of fascinating ways, and has a cover that turns everything on its head to brilliant effect. Strange Currencies, originally by R.E.M., covered by Louisa Stancioff. </p> <p>Rich got the name wrong during the episode, but the outro music is Rumble by Link Wray. He was probably overcome by the reverb. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>We hope this is the end of our run of tribute episodes as we remember a remarkable talent and exceptional musician. An exceptional ability for satire, an absurd but resolute sense of humor, and a mirthful approach to life which he imposed on the world around him. Poisoning Pigeons In The Park, originally by Tom Lehrer, covered by Roberta Alexander with David Triestram. </p> <p>Outro music is The Masochism Tango, also by Tom Lehrer. Because he was generous enough to release all of his music into the public domain, we've included the entire song as the outro. It's a great one, and we think you should listen to the whole thing. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>A song that was a point of transition which lead to a future that nobody expected, least of all the band behind it, and a perfect tribute. Southern Accents, originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, covered by Dolly Parton. </p> <p>Outro music is Rebels, also by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and you can't tell us that isn't a great line. </p>]]>

Help Me Make It Through The Night, originally released by Percy Sledge, with versions by Kris Kristofferson, and by Gladys Knight and the Pips. </p> <p>Outro music is Jump In The River by Sinead O'Connor — and if you don't know about the connection between Kris Kristofferson and Sinead O'Connor, you need to dig into that, because it's amazing. </p>]]>

Going Down To Liverpool, originally by The Waves (who had not yet given Katrina top billing), covered by The Bangles. </p> <p>Outro music is Walking On Sunshine, also by Katrina and the Waves. Let us know if it helps you figure out who's actually singing in the first song, because we're still confused. </p>]]>

You're So Vain, originally by Carly Simon, covered by Liza Minnelli, Faster Pussycat, and John Barrowman. Yes, we needed this many versions of it to get to the bottom of things. </p> <p>Outro music is 1987 by Steel Panther, and they are so good. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>One of the most impactful songs of the 80s by a band impossibly deep with talent, and a cover that, honestly, shouldn't have worked but succeeded brilliantly thanks to the right artist with the right plan. Here Comes The Rain Again, originally by Eurythmics, covered by Macy Gray. </p> <p>Outro music is Macy Gray's cover of Colby Caillat's Bubbly — which apparently features Idris Elba, but we don't think he shows in the clip, so listen to the whole thing. </p>]]>

Twenty Flight Rock, originally by Eddie Cochran, covered by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, and by Conan O'Brien, featuring Jack White. </p> <p>Outro music is 25 Minutes to Go, by Shel Silverstein. </p>]]>

And honestly, there were so many choices for this one, but we couldn't think of a better way to say goodbye to her and to say thank you. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>The pop punk version of a power ballad turns into a great song that may have been a victim of its own success — and a lack of active listening skills. Plus, a secret supergroup, and a band who understood the assignment. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), originally by Green Day, covered by Albert Lee and Hogan's Heroes, and by Wolf Alice.</p> <p>Outro music is Hole Hearted, by Extreme, and wow, Nuno Bettencourt is an absolute beast, in an under appreciated band. </p>]]>

Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City, originally by Bobby "Blue" Bland, covered by Whitesnake. </p> <p>Outro music is Here I Go Again, also by Whitesnake — but it's the original 1982 version from Saints and Sinners that isn't quite like you remember the song to be.

Red Right Hand (now the theme song for Peaky Blinders), originally by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, covered by Snoop Dog. </p> <p>Outro music is Way Down in the Hole, by Tom Waits. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>This week we take on a topical song that's so good it should never have had to have been rediscovered. It's covered by an an artist who has a rare gift of bringing something new and inventive to a song that's already basically perfect in every way. It's a heck of a week as we take on Long Long Time, originally by Linda Ronstadt, covered by Sid Sriram. </p> <p>Outro music is Anthimaalai Neram, also sung by Sid Sriram. </p> <p>And yes, we have spoilers for Last of Us — and Game of Thrones, and Girl with All the Gifts, and the remake of True Grit. Sorry, but it's still worth it, so you should just listen. </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>We do something a little different this week. One of the biggest and most impactful songs of the 90s relied heavily on sampling and was subsequently significantly parodied. Both of those use the music of a nearby song to tell a new story, and it sheds some light on how the business of cover songs works. Gangsta's Paradise, originally by Coolio, sampled Pastime Paradise by Stevie Wonder, and parodied in Amish Paradise by Weird Al Yankovic.</p> <p>Outro music is Eat It, also by Weird Al Yankovic.</p>]]>

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, originally by AC/DC, covered by Lesley Gore.</p> <p>Outro music is You Don't Own Me, also by Lesley Gore. She recorded that one at just 17 years old.

        <![CDATA[<p class="p1">Just a few days before recording, the world lost Adam Schlesinger -- of Fountains of Wayne and so much more -- to COVID19. We have so many positive feelings about his music, we wanted to spend some time looking at his breadth, his impact, and a career that was shockingly successful if you'd only ever known Stacy's Mom. If you're already a fan of his, we hope we did OK for you. If a lot of this is new to you, we hope you enjoy the music as much as we do.</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p1">Thanks, Adam, and we're so sorry the world lost you like this.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>A happy song that's pretty sad, a lot of vocal excellence, mid-baritones, and accents. OK, just one accent, but it's a doozie. We look at 5 O'Clock World, originally by The Vogues, covered by Hal Ketchum, and by The Proclaimers.</p> <p>Outro music is King Of The Road, also by The Proclaimers. Which we may get to on a future episode.</p>]]>
