Who did it better? PART 1

"Dandy"

Herman's Hermits vs. the Kinks.



I personally think the Kinks obviously did the most epic version & it was written by Dave Davies so extra points for that.

Melina Matsoukas

Who is she? She graduated from the American Film Institute & NYU and is of Cuban & Greek descent. She makes music videos for many current pop(etc.) artists like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Ciara, Whitney Houston & Lily Allen. Her music videos. I'm not a fan of many film clips of recent pop music(or much of the music for that matter) but over the past few years certain film clips I have seen have caught my attention. I was never a big fan of Beyonce and Rhianna but I must admit a few of their film clips have been quite aesthetically pleasing. (...and my favourite)

Louis

I really love Louis Prima & this song but at the same time this song is quite strange and a little off-putting at first.

I'm Your Man - Leonard Cohen.

Now I don't know if you've heard this song but when you listen to the combination of the slightly creepy lyrics and Leonard Cohen's intense voice you have to love it. If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you If you want a partner Take my hand Or if you want to strike me down in anger Here I stand I'm your man If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you And if you want a doctor I'll examine every inch of you If you want a driver Climb inside Or if you want to take me for a ride You know you can I'm your man Ah, the moon's too bright The chain's too tight The beast won't go to sleep I've been running through these promises to you That I made and I could not keep Ah but a man never got a woman back Not by begging on his knees Or I'd crawl to you baby And I'd fall at your feet And I'd howl at your beauty Like a dog in heat And I'd claw at your heart And I'd tear at your sheet I'd say please, please I'm your man And if you've got to sleep A moment on the road I will steer for you And if you want to work the street alone I'll disappear for you If you want a father for your child Or only want to walk with me a while Across the sand I'm your man If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you

Lady Gaga & David Bowie

Lady Gaga on David Bowie "[He's] an icon in art," At age 4 Lady Gaga learned piano by ear, by age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mic nights at clubs such as New York’s the Bitter End and at the age of 17 was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Here is my list of reasons why I like her. 1. Star Wars reference in her video. (Ingredients in recipe)

2. She used the Pussy Wagon from Kill Bill in her film clip for Telephone and is being considered to be in Quentin Tarantino's next movie.

3. She can wear coke cans in her hair, cigarette sunglasses and be drenched in blood without looking dumb.

4. She acknowledges the fact that her lyrics are shallow and inferior to that of artists such as Bowie. 5. She doesn't lip sync live. 6. She supports gay rights, something not many artists support to the extent she does. 7. Claims she was born in the wrong era and said "I'm quite sure that if it were 1968 I may not be the Lady GaGa that I am today. I might be arguing with Yoko Ono and trying to win John Lennon's heart and chasing The Beatles in a bus on LSD, hoping that one of them hands me a microphone one day."
8. She took her name from a Queen song.
9. She idolises David Bowie.

Clearly Bowie is God but I guess this was my attempt to show Lady Gaga in a different light. Maybe not but I think everyone should watch her acoustic version of Poker Face for AOL. That's what originally got me interested in her.
