i don't usually like doing a 4-way-around-the world of sorts, but these david's keep piling up and there will always be coverversions. kicker favorite harry nilsson released his magnum-opus 'nilsson schmilsson' ten years into his solo career. upon it, he took a then little known badfinger song and turned into a #1 hit here, the uk and in canada. lcd soundsystem took harry's 'jump into the fire' and made it all electro-y..sorta..it bounces though. this year lcd soundsystem released another collection of bumping dance-punk numbers. from 'sound of silver' franz ferdinand contributed to the single release of 'all my friends' by giving the same song a shot. you guessed it, it sounds like franz ferdinand covering lcd soundsystem. john cale gave a version of the same song for the same dealy as well. so i guess this could be badfinger vs. harry nilsson vs. lcd soundsystem vs. franz ferdinand vs. john cale, but that would be gay. it appears that harry nilsson is also a martin scorsese favorite as both 'without you' and 'jump into the fire' were featured in the movies 'casino' and 'goodfellas' respectively.
badfinger - without you
harry nilsson - without you
harry nilsson - jump into the fire
lcd soundsystem - jump into the fire
lcd soundsystem - all my friends
franz ferdinand - all my friends
john cale - all my friends
go buy whatcha likes and delete whatcha don't
