This is one of those entries that is run entirely by the cover version of the song, not the original. Not the hugest Motley Crue fan. I was more 120 Minutes than Headbangers Ball. But if this song makes you want to break out the spandex and hold a lighter up to your kohl eyeliner, than more power to ya. Let your freak flag fly, baby.
Motley Crue – Looks That Kill
I love Shivaree. I once came up with a book idea based entirely on Goodnight Moon, but I’m sure I’m not the first. I was so excited when the iTunes alerts sent me a message that they had a new album, Tainted Love: Matting Calls and Fight Songs. And imagine my delight when I saw it was an album of covers! Some obscure and lesser known songs, which only makes it more enjoyable in my opinion. Here is one of those rare instances when the cover improves upon the original, but that’s really because it’s more to my taste. I would like to point out to my husband that it does not break his cardinal cover song rule of “Don’t Change The Pronoun.” as well.
Shivaree – Looks That Kill
PS. I had a hard time picking which song from the album to use, so in the next couple of weeks, expect to see another one. It’s all I can do to not post another one now, it was that close.

Addendum to yesterdays post about Fridays
I couldn't sleep last night, and I was listening to my iPod and I found a song that, basically, is Fridays.
