Blake Babies "Temptation Eyes"

Here's another Weekend Post:

Here's a fun 90s cover of a 60s song.

Did you know that the guy who plays Creed on "The Office," plays guitar on the original?


Hear the song on Youtube.


See Creed in purple, on Youtube.

Weekend posts are a chance to revisit songs that have happy memories, not of anything in particular, other than just hearing the tunes.

Many of these songs were tracks that I played during my 90s stint as an Alternative/Modern Rock radio show.  They're tunes that I hardly hear these days, but are wonderful to revisit.

Joss Stone/The White Stripes “Fell In Love With A Boy/Girl”

It’s nice to discover the original, even if you love the remake.

Barbara did an interview this week with the director of a documentary featuring Jack White. And shortly after the interview, I heard Joss Stone’s version of “Fell In Love With A Boy.” It made me go back to the iTunes list, to listen to the original “Fell In Love With A Girl” by The White Stripes.

mvyradio played the Joss Stone version quite a bit, so I’m much more familiar with it, than the original. Even if you’re not a garage rock fan, you can’t deny Jack White’s frenetic charisma. Then going back to the Joss Stone version, it makes you realize what an amazing job Stone, her producers and band, did, reimagining the track, so it could sit alongside Aretha Franklin and Betty Wright covers.

It’s like going back to find the British version of The Office, when you’re already a fan of the American version. You see the seeds of the idea, in there original state, and you can marvel at the way the re-makers made it their own.
