"(COVERED in ROCK)"

“This is the 14 show in our series of Freak Shows. Tonight’s theme is all about the magic of the cover song. At its heart, a cover starts with the original track we already know, but then a new artist comes along, re-imagines it, and makes it their own. Sometimes it’s just a fresh voice, other times the tempo, the instruments, or even the whole mood gets flipped on its head. Some of the songs you’ll hear tonight, you might recognize instantly. Others might surprise you—you may not have even realized they were cover versions at all. But that’s the beauty of it: two different takes on the same idea, each with its own flavor. So I’ll let you be the judge. Which one do you prefer—the original, or the cover?”
