Cover Songs March 1st

We're going to start having conversations about sampling songs (and remixes) next week. Today we're going to look at cover songs. You'll have time to post in class, but you need to do a bit of reflection/analysis here as well.

Directions:

1. Find a cover song that is truly similar to the original and post it and the original on your blog. Analyze the effectiveness of the cover.
2. Find a cover song that is completely different from the original and post it and the original on your blog. Contrast the pieces. Are they effective? In what way(s)? What is the purpose of each? What is the tone?
