Irreverant Covers/Deconstructions

[Ska Lagos Jew Sun Ra]

Ok, I am an avid fan of rock deconstructionists. It's not so much the fact that I hate rock music, but absolutely despise the way that the media portrays it, it's ridiculous mythology, and it's dominance. I feel since it's dawn that one of it's biggest plagues is the fact people actually choose to talk rock seriously.

That's why, when I hear a good reverberant cover or deconstruction of a 'classic' song it makes me smile. Suppose it's the Residents fanboy in me, I don't know.

Anyway:



Sun City Girls, "Tell me Something Good".



Frank Zappa "Ring Of Fire"



John Oswald "The Great Pretender"



The Residents "Hit the Road, Jack"
