"Da Butt" by Back to Zero

High energy Arlington, VA party band Back to Zero cover the 1988 funk single "Da Butt," from Washington, DC area go-go band Experience Unlimited (E.U.)

Not to be overly contrarian, but I think that there is something wrong if you wanna do Da Butt all night long.

There's, like, a four-hour window that doing Da Butt is acceptable, and, if that gets exceeded.... it's weird.

"A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall" by Laura Marling

 

Happy Independence Day!

Here's British indie folk artist Laura Marling with her version of Duluth, Minnesota songwriting phenomenon and performance mediocrenon Bob Dylan's 1963 single "A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall," a different cover of which appeared on the soundtrack of 1989 Tom Cruise war drama "Born on the Fourth of July."

The irony of featuring a UK artist on the anniversary of the US separation FROM the UK isn't lost on me.... but, this rendition is everything.

For another Dylan cover, PJ Harvey's version of "Highway 61 Revisited" can be found here.

Calgary, Alberta pop singer Jann Arden had her 1994 signature ballad "Insensitive" covered by 5VOLTS, a quintet from the Philippines.

According to this article from Healthline, you could become insensitive with 5 Volts, as numbness and tingling are one of the major signs of electric shock.  Though this voltage isn't overwhelmingly powerful, it is still not recommended to chew on the battery of your heated vest.
