Same Song Title, Different Band/Artist: "Crazy"

in Other Music
This idea popped in my head this morning about common song titles used over-and-over again.  I thought it'd be fun to throw up a common song title on occasion and get opinions on who their favorite version of that song is.
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Seal
    I like some Willie...love some Aerosmith...not as much Celo, although that is probably the song I like best from him...but Seal gets my vote here.  (Like the concept for this, btw)

    This is sentimental.  A girl I hung out with for a bit in college loved this song and there are some vivid memories of sportf&cking to this song.  Always a good song to hear!

    side story - met Seal about 5 years later and we smoked together outside the restaurant we were both at - Seal smoke cigs?  Yes, at that point, he did.  He told me he was going onto the field for the 49ers home playoff game the next day, was flying up to SF after dinner that night.  Being a big Niners fan we spoke about that some.  I told him about my connection with his Seal record (especially Future Love Paradise, that was the topper) and he dug it.  Said he heard those stories all of the time.
    On his way out after dinner, he stopped at my table and shook my hand and said it was good to chat.  Very nice dude.  My buddies were like "did Seal just come up to you?  huh?"

    Depending on the response, I may continue to run with this concept.  There are several more I can run out there.

    It was hard to choose between Aerosmith and Seal on this one, but I have to remain loyal to Aerosmith...unless the Aerosmith song in question is "Pink"---FUCK Pink!

    I also met Seal like 10 years ago. I was working at a big fair during my time at uni. I just knew I was supposed to go to a conference room and serve these people drinks. Came in and there was Seal. He wanted pickles. Who wants pickles at a fair?! Well we didn’t have any so I just made him a sandwich or whatever

    We were in Bel Air when I met him, so I'm guessing they got him pickles if he wanted them.  :lol:.

    Now I have Seal's version stuck in my head.  I'm kind of wishing I could change my vote.

    I think that they either should've had Steven Tyler sing the whole song with them or had no singing whatsoever, but I like it anyway...

    Seal
    Easy vote for me. My favorite song from Seal and a great memory from high school. Gnarls would be my second choice and Aerosmith would be last unless we are talking about which has the hottest women in it. Alicia + Liv :heart:
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Great thread idea!

    Lots of "same name" songs in PJ catalogue but I guess we should avoid those ones. Most other songs wouldn't stand a chance!

    "One" would be a great one IMO :tongue:

    Gnarls Barkley was the first one that came to my mind when seeing the song. Aerosmith's was decent. Forgot about Seal's version and not really familiar with most of Willie Nelson's stuff.

    Here's a suggestion for another poll of this kind:  "I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" , written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart and covered by The Monkees, The Sex Pistols, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Minor Threat, Johnny Thunders, Sam Phillips-- just to name the better know artists among the many who've done it!

    ^^Good suggestion, brianlux! Great song!

    Also, I like that this poll has an "other" option.

    Thanks, OSG!

    I hadn't considered your pick of Aerosmith's version (which I have to admit I hadn't heard) so I figured I should at least check it out which I did.  I was quiet surprised to find this is not at all the same song as the one Willie Nelson wrote.  I hadn't really thought about the "same title" part of the OP heading, which a lends an added dimension to the game!

    This could get really interesting because there are several song titles that are used for different songs (by the way, the same is true with books- you cannot copyright a book title.  Anyone could write a book called Gone With the Wind, Catcher in the Rye, or The Grapes of Wrath).  Some examples:

    "Money":  Beatles, Pink Floyd, etc.

    "Surrender":  Cheap Trick, Elvis Presley

    "Feel Like Makin' Love":  Bad Company, Roberta Flack.

    It'll be interesting to see what shows up here!

    Ha! You're right, that wouldn't go along with the original premise of the thread. I got all excited once you mentioned Johnny Thunders, he doesn't get mentioned often enough in my opinion. :smile:

    If I remember correctly, malroth created a thread that was more like what you were describing. I'll see if I can find/bump it.
