Straight Outta Compton / Baby Got Back Remixed

[Andrew]

From Boing Boing (http://www.boingboing.net)


Cory Doctorow: Nina Gordon, late of Veruca Salt, has recorded a mind-blowing cover of NWA's Straight Outta Compton, in the style of a Baezesque guitar folksinger. It's funny at first, then it's beautiful, then it's both. 5.5 MB MP3 Link (http://www.ninagordon.com/audio/straightouttacompton.mp3), Nina Gordon music download page (http://www.ninagordon.com/sightsandsounds.html)

In a similar vein (I just can't stop listening to this; just loving the bridge and chorus):


Nerd folksinger covers Baby Got Back

Cory Doctorow: Candy Addict sez, "Five weeks ago, Jonathan Coulton (mentioned previously here started a 'Thing A Week' project where he released a new recording each week. This week is his best yet - a cover of Sir Mix-a-lot's Baby Got Back. Hearing a soulful folkie crooning about his 'home boys' and how he 'likes big butts and cannot lie' is absolutely hilarious. All of his songs are released under a Creative Commons license." Link (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2005/10/14/thing-a-week-5-baby-got-back/) (Thanks, Candy Addict!)
