This swap will be just like the other musical scavenger hunts, but every song on your CD will be a COVER!!!

Let's make a CD to send to 2 partners. Take your cover version collections and find at least 15 covers that fit the following categories:

  1. A cover with an animal in the title (for example, "Surfin' Bird by The Ramones)

  2. A cover song about drinking.

  3. A cover song from a movie.

  4. A cover song that you discovered before the original.

  5. A cover song that is in a different genre than the original song.

  6. A cover version of an '80s song.

  7. A cover song which has no singing/lyrics. (The original could have had singing or not.)

  8. A Beatles cover.

  9. A cover of a children's song.

  10. A cover of a TV theme song.

  11. A cover that reminds you of Halloween or Thanksgiving.

  12. A cover song with a number in the title.

  13. An original version of one of the covers you already chose

  14. A different version of one of the covers you already chose

15.A cover where the song's gender is changed for the singer (for example "And then She Kissed Me" by Kiss - from "And Then He Kissed Me" - the title doesn't have to change, but the lyrics should have changed when sung.)

16.A cover in a different language than the original.

  1. A cover that is currently in the top 40 or being played on the radio.

  2. A cover song with a color in the title.

  3. A cover song from another era (for example, a band in the '60 covering a '50s song).

  4. A parody song.

  5. A cover song about outer space.

  6. A bad cover song.

  7. A cover song where you like the cover but not the original.

just so I'm not confused what exactly is a cover song. Sorry if it's a dumb question.

A cover song is a song that is recorded by someone other than the original artist. For example, The Who recorded Behind Blue Eyes in 1971. In 2003, Limp Bizkit did a cover version, which hit the US charts in 2004. Both still receive airplay, depending on which radio station(s) you listen to.

Do remixes and/or mash-up count?

bethanne 09/28/2008 #

Hmmm.. I am not as familiar with remixes and mash ups as I am with covers, but if you need them to fill in your CD, I'd say yes, but try to use true covers when you can.

cover song from a movie - does the cover have to be in a movie, or the original?

would Matthew Nathanson's version of James' "Laid", which was in American pie count? or would a cover of "Nothing's Going To Stop Us Now", which was originally by Starship, and was in Mannequin, count?

i hope that made sense

Rock on, Bethanne! I'm in your other swap, Covers Challenge II and couldn't miss the opportunity to do this awesome mix, as well! Great ideas!!

The cover or the original could be in the movie as long as you have a cover in your CD. Thanks for asking!
