Last week was part one of a two-part contrast podcast "covers that are very different than the original" episode. Hence, this week is part two. I talked all about it last week and therefore haven't got much to add today, other than if you want to listen to it or download it, go right here.
Here are a couple of tunes that would have been equally suitable for submission. The Last Town Chorus version of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" is especially different, and Bjorn Kleinhenz's cover of Death Cab's "Lightness" is flat-out mesmerizing.

Next week's theme will be "Songs with sound effects in them," so fire up your thinking cap and join in the fun. I think this one might be difficult. Hmmmm, I'd best start searching now . . .
I never thought I could like "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me," but I love
this cover! Thanks!
