"Paradise City" by Woman

 

Woman is comprised of three British women, all veterans of stage and theater and fronting the Philharmonic and what not.

Here is their version of Guns N' Roses 1989 glam metal showstopper "Paradise City," which was released on their album "What the Heck is a Plural Noun?"

It's decent enough.  The 3:19 mark is where they really hit their stride.

For another cover of Guns N' Roses, Prom Queen's version of "November Rain" can be found here.

"November Rain" by Prom Queen

 

In the summer of 2012, Seattle, Washington based band Prom Queen released their poodle skirt retro version of the 1992 Guns N' Roses power ballad "November Rain."

It was the final track on a record called "Doom Wop," which is in the running for best album title ever.

In an interview with Felten Ink, band leader Leeni Ramadan describes the genre Doom Wop as "the rotting wall behind the Norman Rockwell painting." 

This gem will have you wanting to leave that shared milkshake behind and slow dance right on the diner floor.  So, come on snake, let's rattle.
