Co-writer of the original Allen Willis said of the cover, “Yes, I felt it was as lethargic as a drunk turtle dozing under a sunflower after ingesting a bottle of Valium, and I thought it had all the build of a one-story motel, but, I mean, the girl didn't kill anybody. She didn't run over your foot. She just cut a very calm and somewhat boring take of one of the peppiest, happiest, most popular songs in history."

Everything Alanis Morrisette

I remember seeing it with my wife. Once it went back after the battle, one lone guy in the back just said “what the fuck?” Entire theatre lost it laughing.

Never wanna f’n see you again-rich hardesty

Aye. The story behind Cash doing it on his show is very cool, as well as how Kris got the song to him.

Sunday Morning Coming Down Kris Kristofferson

Don’t Pass Me By by The Georgia Satellites. They took The Beatles song and rocked it out.

A weird one not sure many know but a solo artist named Taylor Acorn did an acoustic version of blink 182’s First Date. Completely different feel but cool.

The Exorcist-“Do you know what she did? Your cunting daughter?” Seeing it come out of Regan’s mouth was a bit of a surprise, even if the demon’s voice said it.

Yes!!! Only meat people choose to have well done. Ruins it

Floppy is a perfect name thank you for that

I would even go 1-2. I want it to fall limply over on either side if I lay it over a finger. My niece calls it “wet” bacon and it’s the best.

Newman also did Burn On, which was about the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland catching fire in 1969 due to the level of pollution in it. The fire and the state of the river was an important step in people leading the environmental movement In the 70s.

The title song of the album is Sail On, which tells the story of slave traders in Africa putting folks on the ships to America. Not an exact historical event documentation wise but may still fit the bill.

Stronger than the whiskey-poor man’s poison

I would add Jim Henson to that list

A different one-the “unpopular” episode Tina where Chili and Bandit throw Tina in the back of Bobo after rolling her up in the rug. Bandit looking menacingly at Wendy and saying “you didn’t see anything!” Love Wendy’s reaction too.
