Vincent I really like Girl in a Coma's Adventures in Coverland. It got me thinking about some of my other favorite covers albums. What are some of your favorite cover songs? What makes a good cover song? http://cranialgunk.com/blog/2011/04/02/under-the-covers/

My list is dominated by shows from the 70s (when I was a kid). Are there 90s and 2000 shows that have catchy themes? http://cranialgunk.com/blog/2011/03/19/to-am-new-york-my-top-5-tv-theme-...

Megan, I actually do the same - if a show or movie is one I really like chances are the producers taste in music is along the same lines as mine. I wish I could get a hold of the new Showtime show "Shameless" soundtrack, can't seem to find it... I'm starting CrowdRage.com in the DC area but will expand to other cities soon enough!

Mike Ambassador Bruny That's it...Goal Accomplished. I just published my 365th Hip Hop Affirmation this year. It seems like only 364 days ago I got started. Check out the work www.hiphopaffirmations.com. Working on what's next for 2011. Continuing to push the envelope of using hip hop lyrics as personal and professional development tool.

Wait until you see phase II. I'm combining hip hop lyrics to traditional quotes that have the same general meaning. E.g.
Robert Frost = "2 Roads in the Wood diverge and I, I chose the one less traveled by and that made all the difference."
Shawn Carter aka Jay-Z = "Just know I chose my own fate, I drove by the fork in the road and went straight."

*Two guys who decided to do their own thing. We're not that different. Pass it on.*

Working the details.

Mehul Kar Can music say something without lyrics? Do some songs say one thing with their music and something else with their lyrics? I feel like I run across these types of songs ALL the time.... Or maybe, the music says something different to everyone, and when the song/piece was originally written, it wasn't innately hypocritical... Any songwriters want to comment?

Some would say that the music "gained a life of it's own." But the notes didn't change. I think the way we interpret them change over time and from person to person.

Becky: Maybe innately hypocritical should be reserved for extreme examples, such as the one described by Diggory. I find subtle hints of these kinds of songs quite a bit.

Diggory: Perfect answer. That's exactly what I was thinking. But I've heard songs of the opposite scenario as well. The lyrics are happy and beautiful, but the music is slow and dreary.

Hannah Kane I find that my favorite songs are the ones that have strong memories attached. "Dear Prudence" just came on, and this song always reminds me of my best friend and when we accidentally both sang "the sky is up the sun is blue" to this song. Are your favorite songs attached to awesome experiences?
