Farin 2 Report post Posted October 17, 2008 today, while tagging some songs in last.fm I had a thought/question: would you consider Patti Smith's "Gloria" to be a cover of the Them song? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 because it's basically the same chorus, but completely different lyrics, you know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viaene 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 then it's not really a cover to me. more like a new song inspired by another song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 you would think so, wouldn't you? yet eg songfacts and wikipedia are listing Patti Smith's song only as a cover on the page of the Them song... so I'm a bit unsure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 maybe I should post some links to the songs in question, huh? Gloria ~ Them (1971) Gloria ~ Patti Smith (1975) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Levis 6 Report post Posted October 18, 2008 Hmm, I can imagine it being classified as a cover if it shares a chorus but I wouldn't tag it as such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shawna 1 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 because it's basically the same chorus, but completely different lyrics, you know? this is quite weird. I don't know the song you're talking about, but I'm thinking Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" is maybe the same sort of thing? He uses the chorus from "Sweet Home Alabama" and the music from "Werewolves Of London," but the verses are original (as it gets with that sort of song, anyway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Farin 2 Report post Posted October 19, 2008 ^ I posted the links to the songs I meant up there in the end, I think you could compare it like that... only with a much higher quality of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny 2 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 I am truly sad for Jennifer Hudson and her sister. I hope that they continue to lean on each other through this tragedy and come out stronger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Farin 2 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 Maynard James Keenan's son is called "Devo" do we already have a thread about strange musician's kid's names? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Joe 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 Maybe not an entire thread but I do remember such discussion. I recall we mentioned David Bowie's son Zowie and Frank Zappa's kids, Dweezil and Moon Unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLizard 1 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 I've got to admit, Metallica's video for their new song All Nightmare Long is pretty darn cool. And the song isn't bad, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bazooka 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 maybe I should post some links to the songs in question, huh? Gloria ~ Them (1971) Gloria ~ Patti Smith (1975) [smaller]Kind of Beside the Point Now Dept. but [/smaller] The definitive version is from 1964. It's Them with Van Morrison. This wikipedia article lists many cover versions including the Shadows of Knight whose effort topped "the original in the U.S. only in areas where Them's version could not be played, because it contained the words, She comes to my room ". And the article makes the obvious comments about Patti Smith's Gloria as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
