Re: CC Round 5 Match 7
Two good cover versions.
The Minutemen give A the MC5 treatment, turning the volume up to 11 and fucking off after two minutes. All of which makes it a blast of a record if you like that sort of thing (which I generally don't, but fair does here).
I think Wilson Pickett was better suited to soul screamers than ballads ( where his vocal style can sometimes sound overegged), I'd have liked to hear what Otis would have done with this. But the Muscle Shoals playing really is top notch and the song is surprisingly well suited for a country soul treatment.

Re: CC Round 5 Match 7
Aw shit, the original is by Van Halen, I have to sit through something by them? I recognise that guitar intro though, so perhaps I can just give it a minute or two. Ugh, the chorus is a genuine crime against humanity. Right, I get the general idea, off you pop, VH. The Minutemen aren't going for quite the same glossy approach, are they? The lo-fi, shambolic approach is something I approve of, as is the brevity. It's a shame they haven't done a bit more with the deconstruction than just recording it cheaply and singing badly, however.
B is teetering on the brink of cruise-ship cabaret through the first couple of minutes, it's only rescued when Wilson really over-eggs everything and imparts some much needed energy and emotion, to a song which is innately devoid of either. You can still picture the cheese n' onion crisps that have been trodden into the shagpile, but it just about gets away with it by the end.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Re: CC Round 5 Match 7
A was very energetic, but the singing was rubbish... as was the actual song.
There are more soul/funk covers of Beatles songs than the world strictly needs, but most things with Wilson Pickett on them get a pass. This one has some good touches in the arrangement and it's a just about restrained-enough version of one of the more overplayed Beatles efforts.

Re: CC Round 5 Match 7
I know in my heart that B is better. No way in hell I'm betting against my beloved Minutemen, though. A all the way.

Re: CC Round 5 Match 7
Two covers of songs from bands I'd never choose to listen to, here.
a - Well, here's how to cover a shit song: throw away all (but one?) of the verses, change the words of the chorus a bit, then strafe what remains with geetars and warm your hands as the mother burns. 5.5 / 10
b - oh I know this from way back, It was shit then and it's even shitter now. What a fucking turd of a song, cannot be polished. I'm in rare agreement with Thang-y here: whatever you think of the performers (in my case, Wilson Pickett second-rate but acceptable, Duane Allman occasionally brilliant, and fine enough here) it's impossible to get past the fact that it's fucking Hey Jude, a wretched piece of work that I've already been forced to listen too far too many times for one lifetime, among the worst record the Beatles ever made as a group. Kill it with fire. May I never hear it again.
All together now, Na, na na, na na na na, FUCK OFF 2 /1O

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: CC Round 5 Match 7
I'm no Hey Jude hater but I would gladly sign no to hear it ever again. Not sure why, but Pickett's version always sounded like a failed effort to these ears, even if I'm a devoted Duane fan, and usually quite fond of WP singing too. Maybe it is simply that I don't see the song well suited for this treatment.
Not familiar with A original, I played one minute or so to understand previous comments. It is a big piece of crap, and once you take all the wrong things away, what is left is basically nothing, which is what A did.
Hmm

The 'hey, hey, hey' s on A remind me of Touch Semstive by the Fall. That's the good things about it over. Rubbish, really. I dig this Wilson cover as well, so it's an easy

Ah, hearing that opening to B solved the puzzle of what sample Bob Stanley used for Wilson. Ta!
A was punk. Thanks for coming.

A makes me laugh. And yeah I too hear the MC5.
I quite like the horn arrangement in the refrain on B.
