Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns & Roses/Performed by Taken by Trees



">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dqVDQ-lF4Q



She's got a smile that it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Was as fresh as the bright blue sky



Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I stared too long

I'd probably break down and cry



Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine



She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I'd hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain



Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder and the rain

To quietly pass me by



[3x]

Sweet child o' mine

Sweet love of mine



[4x]

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Sweet child o' mine

I've always been an Idol fan.  Not necessarily for his music, but for his "show"...



One of my favourite tracks is 'Dancing with Myself.'



The Donna's didn't do too badly with their version...

Men do Rock better, it seems...

Quote from: "Renee"Santo and Johnny's "Sleep Walk" covered by Joe Satriani.

Sleepwalk is one of my favourite tracks...



However, it can never be topped.  It can never be "re-done" in a better fashion than the original.



Purely instrumental, it cannot be topped with new vocals.  Purely a ballad, it cannot be "stepped up" properly and performed any faster...



Sleep Walk is an anomoly...  The original can never be really touched.  And it can't.

Your opinion is your opinion and being YOUR opinion, it ain't worth shit so far as anyone with a brain is concerned.

Girl From North Country Fair



Here's the original by Dylan:



">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a3ERxzuh80



If you're traveling in the north country fair

Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline

Remember me to one who lives there

She once was the true love of mine.



If you go when the snowflakes storm

When the rivers freeze and summer ends

Please see if she's a coat so warm

To keep her from the howlin' winds.



Please see if her hair hangs long

If it rolls and flows all down her breast

Please see from me if her hair hangs long

That's the way I remember her best.



I'm a-wonderin' if she remember me at all

Many times I've often prayed

In the darkness of my night

In the brightness of my day.



So if you're travelin' in the north country fair

Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline

Remember me to one who lives there

She once was a true love of mine.

It's My Party by Lesley Gore



It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you



Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone

But Judy left the same time

Why was he holding her hand

When he's supposed to be mine



It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you



Playin' my records, keep dancin' all night

But leave me alone for a while

Till Johnny's dancin' with me

I've got no reason to smile



It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you



Judy and Johnny just walked through the door

Like a queen with her king

Oh what a birthday surprise

Judy's wearin' his ring



It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you



Oh it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

You would cry too if it happened to you



It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to

Quote from: "Renee"Your opinion is your opinion and being YOUR opinion, it ain't worth shit so far as anyone with a brain is concerned.


Then re-release your version of Santo and Johnny's "Sleepwalk."



Do it...  I dare ya!



What you will find, is that your idea is a joke.



Most songs can be re-done, and many are, to be sold at a profit...



That is ONE song that cannot be, ever.



Like I said, it is an anomaly...

Mel, you're a moron, but then again looking at your posting time, I'm sure you were polluted when you shit out that inane pile of stupid.



Any song can be covered....whether or not you like the original version or the cover is irrelevant. Just like the concept of beauty....musical taste is highly subjective. Its a matter of pure opinion.



Now I appreciate your passion on the subject but in the grand scheme of things, it means nothing to me or anyone else unless we agree. Since we don't agree then....you can just bugger off. ac_biggrin

I like you, Renee!  Without our combined passion here, there'd be nothing left!
