Cover Charge #51 - Travis to Queen

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: Glen Campbell to Travis

Travis have always been partial to a good cover version. Here they play with an absolute Straight Bat with their take on Queen's Killer Queen, a B-side to their 2001 single Sing... which is, of course, how we got to Travis in the Cover Charge chain in the first place. This series doesn't just throw itself together, you know.

Lovely though Travis's homage is, the original remains untouchable. 51 years old, and much loved by Amusements Minor, especially for an in-car singalong. Hmm. A 51yr-old song for the 51st Cover Charge post. This series doesn't just throw itse... oh, you get the idea.

Next time: we follow just one member of Queen... but which?

The Cover Charge "chain" to date.
