Country singers butchering the Hits of '69.
I've heard some good singers occasionally screw up a word or two in a cover song, but "Hits of '69" by the Nashville Country Singers takes the cake. Apparently, nobody bothered to give these folks copies of the lyrics to the songs they were expected to sing. Combine that with flat music and off-key vocals and you have what was certainly one of the most exciting new albums of the year. Check out how the Country Singers butcher two of my favorite songs. On "Aquarius", the moon is no longer in the seventh house, but the serpent's house. Then the phrase "no more falsehoods or derisions" somehow becomes -- get this -- "thunderbolts of long duration". Whoa! But that's nothing compared to what they do to "Proud Mary". Incredibly, they don't even sing the phrase "Proud Mary" once throughout the entire song. Among other flubs, these guys "seen a lotta plays in Memphis" and "Humped a lotta grain in New Orleans". I don't know what they were taking in Nashville back in 1969 but I sure want some for my next party.

says: Laughing my you know what off...When the moon is in the Serpent's house....help, I can't stop laughing. Not to mention the flat notes. Proud Mary: "And I never lost a manner of speaking"...Where do they get these words.."pumped alot of grain"...what river are they on. Well, I needed a good laugh and I got one. Oh my...too funny.

says: How many times can Toby Keith capitalize on the nostalgia value of beinng American? How often can gretchen Wilson succesfully sing a song about taking pride in being a bottom-of-the-crap-barrel white-trash trailer-skank? And when is someone going to tell the lead singer of Rascal Flatts that he looks like a complete loser? He needs to give his DNA back to Joey Fatone and Lance Bass of N'Sync. Right now, unfortunately, modern country is Pop. Nothing more and nothing less. People singing songs they didn't write and getting rich and famous from it, with no guilt. RIP Johnny Cash
