Soul To Squeeze, Red Hot Chili Peppers

This week we've got another Chili Peppers' song, one of their bigger hits, "Soul to Squeeze". It was written during the creation of the album Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik though was released separately. It had some serious commercial success, and reached 22 on Billboard's top 100.

The song can be found here, courtesy of YouTube.

Keep a look out, next week's song is going to be a request from a reader- you never know, it could be yours!

Let me know what you think

I'll Make a Man Out of You

This week's song was an idea that David Daniels came up with, and I think you're all going to like the final product. The song "I'll Make a Man Out of You" is the memorable track from the 1998 Disney film Mulan, a movie about a Chinese girl who poses as a man in order to go fight for the sake of her village.The song comes on during a montage where villagers were being trained for battle, which you can hear in the lyrics. The song was composed by Matthew Wilder, and the voice is none other than Donny Osmond.

The original version of this song can be found here.

Let's be honest, everyone saw this movie as a kid and loves/still remembers most of the lyrics to this song even today. Anyone who says anything otherwise is lying to themselves and needs to seriously rethink their life choices; sorry, but it's true. For as long as I can remember I've been singing along to this song, and I hope you guys end up singing along to this weeks post.

I have to give it up for David, as he did most of the work for this weeks post. Without your vocals this song wouldn't be half as great as it is, thanks again!

Sit back, hit play and remember how you used to jam out to this song when you were 8.

Evil, Interpol

This weeks featured song is from another New York Indie band, Interpol. Their song "Evil" comes off of their 2004 album Antics reaching 24 on the U.S. charts and 18 in the U.K. Their distinctive sound has earned them a special place in the world of Indie Rock, and their 2005 album Our Love to Admire has enforced with certainty that they're a musical force to be reckoned with.

If you haven't heard it, one my personal favorite versions is played live on the show "Later with Jools Holland" and can be found here.

This weeks recording does not feature any guest musicians, though next week David Daniels will be making a re-appearance for a cover he thought of doing. I assure you it will be excellent. And may actually make you "lol", "LYAO" and or "ROFL"... No promises though.

Some of the lyrics were improvised, so die-hard Interpol fanatics be warned; my memory isn't the greatest. I think you guys will like this song though, I was surprised with how my vocals sounded compared to that of Paul Banks (Interpol's vocalist).

So without further ado, "Evil" by Interpol.

Feel Good Inc., Gorillaz

This week's song is a request from my friend Brad Nash, by the famous British animated band Gorillaz. As far as I'm concerned Gorillaz is musical mastermind Damon Albarn (From Blur, The Good The Bad and The Queen)'s best project yet.

Their song "Feel Good Inc." was one the most successful singles off of their "Demon Days" album, reaching number 14 on Billboard's top 100. This song is instantly recognizable as Gorillaz, and has an incredibly catchy chorus so I had to cover it.

If you've never heard it: A) WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! and B) Check it out here!

This song sounds a lot better with two people, however my friends were all busy today so I had to make do. I hope you all enjoy it either way!
