"Young Turks" by Priests

 

London, UK raspmaster Rod Stewart had his 1981 new wave single "Young Turks" punked out by Washington, DC trio Priests.

For more Rod Stewart covers, Blur's version of "Maggie May" can be found here, and Wilson Phillips' version of "A Reason to Believe" can be found here.

"Maggie May" by Blur

 Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you.

It's late September, and I really should be back at school.

Well, it is late September, but British art pop band Blur's front man Damon Albarn hasn't been back at school since a brief stint at Goldsmiths College in the late '80s.

I wonder if he still has those dreams about not locating the proper classroom and being totally unprepared for final exams, decades after he's set foot in an institution of higher learning.

We'd have so much in common.

Like academic panic dreams, and wearing jeans and a white t-shirt whilst looking all sorts of cool.

Anyway, here's Blur's cover of Rod Stewart's 1971 hit single about his trip to Cougartown.

For another cover of Rod Stewart, here's one from Wilson Phillips.
