I Heart Moon

New Religion :: Jimmy Eat World
originally by Duran Duran

I’m always hoping for a Duran Duran cover I love, but sadly they always fall short for me. This is no exception, though I suppose I will give it points for sounding like a completely different song.

I would love any and all recommendations of Duran Duran cover songs.

Xanadu soundtrack

Xanadu :: E.L.O. and Olivia Newton-John

The soundtrack to Xanadu was the first album I ever bought with my own money. I emptied my coin “piggy” bank (it was actually Minnie Mouse) and put $1 increments into sandwich baggies, collecting them until I had enough for the album. It was one of those albums that opened up with pictures on the inside folds, and it had a kind of Part 1/Part 2 feel to the music - Part 1 being mainly songs by Olivia Newton-John and Part 2 being mostly E.L.O. songs.

This song brought the two together.

It was also a big roller rink song, too.

I suppose this song could qualify on the “not so guilty pleasure” themed day, but honestly I think the song is a bit too dear to me and my younger self to ever be categorized into anything that has the word “guilty” in it.
