"Butterfly Kisses" by Charlotte Ave

 


Nashville, Tennessee trio Charlotte Ave cover "Butterfly Kisses," a 1996 single from Santa Ana, California adult contemporary artist Bob Carlisle.

"With a Little Help from My Friends" by The Main Squeeze


 

In contention for the greatest Zoom video of all time is this entry from Bloomington, Indiana funk rockers The Main Squeeze.... with a little help from their friends, on their version of The Fab Four's 1967 hit "With a Little Help from My Friends."

I imagine that the conversation that took place the evening before this shoot went something like this:

Corey: Ilio, we're recording the Zoom thing at 9:00 AM sharp.

Ilio: Yup.

Corey: So, could you set your alarm, like, five minutes earlier, so you can brush your teeth beforehand?

Ilio: I got you, fam.

"Cottleston Pie" by Tales from Woodhaven

 


Happy pi day!

Here's a cover of "Cottleston Pie," originally a 1926 poem from Winnie the Pooh author A A Milne, first set to music by Teaneck, New Jersey big band vocalist Anne Lloyd in 1961.

I'm crediting Tales from Woodhaven as the artist, though I'm unsure if that's the chosen name of the husband/wife duo who gave WTP some BPM.

I was unable to locate bio information, either.... though, my guess is that the artists hail from Grayson, Georgia.
