Reveal Thread: Walrus Grab Bag 2 - The Walrus Strikes Back

I expect to start my reveal in 1-2 hours. I was expecting to write paragraphs of why I liked or dislike a song, but I realized that sometimes it’s hard to explain. Will page people maybe five minutes before I start.

This is probably the category that I had the most options to choose from. I think my final list was close to 6.

Based on the above, I THINK I went with the right choice. Although my second choice would have been really good too.

My brother grilled some T bones, so reveal starts sometime after I finish.

You already had 5 T-bones and you want another one? That‘s some real man vs. food situation you have going on there.

Cut and paste is kind of annoying on my Chromebook.

Feel like someone’s mind is going to be blown in a few seconds.

Ohhhhhh. Ominous

I love my entry for this category but have no idea how it is likely to play. Judging by my run of results, not well.

I don‘t like the sound of that.

In 1st place with 13 points:

The White Stripes - Jolene, originally by Dolly Parton

The live version of this made the top ten of the Rolling Stone poll for greatest live cover. Readers’ Poll: The Greatest Live Cover Songs – Rolling Stone

The studio version came off the B-sde for the single of “Hello Operator” in 2000. It’s one of the most acclaimed covers by fans of indie music. It’s an obvious choice for number one.

What I meant to say was, in 13th place with 1 point:

The White Stripes - Jolene, originally by Dolly Parton

This is a completely subjective judging and what it all boils down to is this was the only submission that made me wish I was listening to the original. (And I listened to all the originals for comparison.) That’s the risk you run with submitting a cover of a great original song. Part of it is that the White Stripes were never a band that spoke to me. And I dislike his voice in this song. It’s annoying and I don’t want to listen to him sing. Pretty sure multiple people will think this is the best song in this category.
