Dar Williams - The Christians and the Pagans
Gary Newman - Cars
Kim Carnes - Betty Davis Eyes
Police - Every Breath You Take
Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis
Bryan Adams - Cuts Like a Knife
George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today
Randolph Michaud - He Stopped Loving Her Today (another good interpretation)
Enigma - Return to Innocence (interesting video take)
Suzanne Vega - Luka
Procul Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale (original version)
Procul Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale (later live version)
Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
The Nightcrawlers - The Little Black Egg (ok, can't find actual version, but this is funny)
Moody Blues - Your Wildest Dreams
Bertie Higgins - Key Largo
Allman Brothers - Melissa
Melissa Manchester - Midnight Blue
Lou Gramm - Midnight Blue (of course not the same as Melissa's)
George Strait - Amarillo by Morning
Marshall Tucker - Can't You See
Charlie Daniels - Long Haired Country Boy
Tom Petty and Heartbreakers - Rebels
There are so many others, but these are a few I know are on the web, now at least.
Yeah, I know that I just pissed away an hour or so finding these. But I've enjoyed this eclectic hunt.

It sure is fun finding old songs on the Web, ain't it?
Those are all good songs.
Walkin' in Memphis -- For years I wondered what he was saying in the line "Walkin' with my feet 10 feet off of Beale." The only way I found out was looking up the lyrics on the Web, too.

You're right, Miss T. I did enjoy it. I sometimes look up lyrics to songs that I was sure I knew and have been really surprised. Sometimes they were deeper than I thought, but too often were even more banal. Sometimes it's better not knowing. But some, such as Whiter Shade of Pale, I knew were just words essentially thrown together. Still enjoy listening though, because the song evokes emotions. One of my favorites is Little Black Egg, but I can't find original version.
Thanks for stopping by, Miss T.
