A second cover by Irish singer Damien Rice, though he’s joined here by his long time musical partner Lisa Hannigan (they’ve since stopped working together) for a cover of P!nk’s “Get The Party Started.” This one is from a 2003 charity album titled Even Better Than The Real Thing: Vol. 1.
While they do make the song acoustic, I think they do it justice. They certainly don’t sound like they’re singing it to be ironic.
Okay, this more than made up for the Radio head cover. I love how they changed the tempo, sang it like a folk song and flipped the whole vibe of the Original.
It was brilliant in arrangement and execution!!
It demonstrates that this is actually a genuinely well written song. I think the songs that survive this sort of transition are somehow a step above the song that don’t. Heh.
Hadn’t thought of it that way. the original song structure definitely had good bones.
