Cover Charge is simple: A covers B, B covers C, C covers D and so on, until I loop back to where I started, Ouroboros-style.
Last time: The Bee Gees to Glen Campbell
As has been mentioned before, the problem with this series is its naturally tendency to go further and further back in time. Last time, we ended in 1961. How to bring it back to something more recent, relatively at least? Well, I don't know about you but one thing I didn't have on my bingo card before starting this series was Glen Campbell covering Sing by Travis, and yet here we are. From his 2008 album of covers, Meet Glen Campbell, this is very much a Straight Bat, right down to the banjo part.
Here's the Travis original, complete with the food-fight video that looks like it might have been a lot of fun to make. Either way, this was the first single to be lifted from The Invisible Band and hit #3 in 2001.
Next time: Fran and the boys commit regicide...
