To cleanse my pallet before I release holiday music to play on my iTunes/iPod, I’ve decided to play all 75 cover versions of “Paint it Black” in a row. According to my playlist it will be 4.6 hours of “Paint it Black” covers. Well, actually it is 73 cover versions, apparently I do have two versions of the Rolling Stones
actually singing their own song. Imagine that.So as you push over your neighbor on your way to that last copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops
at Toy R Us today, think about this most appropriate soundtrack to your holiday shopping madness. See what versions of “Paint It Black” I have over at my Last.Fm page.
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blueNow how does that NOT scream holiday cheer?
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
This is really awesome. After years of collecting LPs I have several different artists performing the same song and I occasionally like to compare and contrast them ... but 75 different freaking versions? I bow to you, sir.
