Reason #5709638429 to love Jonathan Coulton

[tzikeh]

Because he's covered "You Oughta Know" in Travis style - and he does not regender. And the download is free.

Oh, Jonathan. <3

I have that Nina Gordon version of "Straight Outa Compton" somewhere, come to think of it.

My favourite gender-bending cover is Emily Picha's version of Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel #2":

You told me again you preferred handsome men,
But for me you would make an exception.

I think mine is Lyle Lovett's "Stand By Your Man".

Ooh, cool! I kinda like this (http://www.sendspace.com/file/zzi5sl) cover, too (also not regendered *g*).

I think my fave non regendering cover is Tori Amos' cover of "Famous Blue Raincoat". GuhSOPRETTY.

Belatedly and signed-anonymous-ly, I must say two things:

1) Jonathan Coulton rocks my worrrrrld.
2) This is now among my favorite unregendered covers. But I must also strongly recommend Cam Clarke's version of "Son Of A Preacherman". Phwoar.

You know, I've always secretly wanted someone to do a Lee Adama Lord King Bad Vid to that song.

I mean, I love the little frakker, but he is a thirteen-year-old girl.

Wow, that's... twisted. And yet it feels so RIGHT.

I will never forget that song's coming up on shuffle immediately after I saw "Unfinished Business" for the first time. Ever.
