The Joint - 17 April 2021

Cover versions open and close this week's show. We kicked off with Frankie Rose's (almost) note perfect copy of The Cure's "A Forest". Always had a soft spot for the original since seeing it performed on Top Of The Pops with the drummer sitting in front of the group. Revolutionary stuff. On a more sobering note, this recent take on a 41 year old song would equate to The Cure, back in 1980, covering the likes of Glenn Miller or Gene Autry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t9lygn2wfo And the Wiggles brought the curtain down by going slightly off-piste with Tame Impala's "Elephant." At least we think it's off-piste. We certainly don't remember the "fruit salad" refrain in the original song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a13WnqsRc5g And on with the show...
