The premise of Cover Charge is simple. A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop round and eat my own tail, Ouroboros-style, by getting back to where I started with The Specials.
Last time: The Replacements to REM
Today, the fruit of a mutual covering love-in. Editors had covered Orange Crush, so in 2008 REM returned the compliment by covering Munich for Radio 1's Live Lounge. There's grainy video of this online, but I've gone for the best quality sound recording I could find on YouTube.
And here's the original, from Editors' 2005 debut album The Back Room which, for my money, still sounds rather good.
Next time: spoiler alert, I'm not going to feature Editors covering Orange Crush as that would cause a feedback loop in the chain and bring an end to the spacetime continuum...
Great to be reminded of 'Munich', such a timeless track. I do prefer the original but who could resist anything described as "the fruit of a mutual covering love-in"?!
