I love quirky covers. You know, the ones you hear that catch you of guard. Like Marilyn Mason's Sweet Dreams and a few of the songs David Cook did on Idol this year. So when I was watching So You Think You Can Dance and one of the songs was a cover of a Bon Jovi song by none other than Paul Anka, I knew I had to have it. It was the song It's My Life off of Paul Anka's 2005 CD, Rock Swings.
Let me tell you, Rock definitely does Swing! This is an awesome CD! There is a reason that the Big Band sound is popular for Ballroom dancing. The minute the first song started, I started (trying) to glide across the floor. The great thing about this CD is that I know all the words!
In addition to It's My Life, there's Eye of the Tiger, Everybody Hurts, Wonderwall, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Hello, Eye Without a Face, The Way You Make Me Feel, and my new favorite Jump. That's right, I said Jump by Van Halen. I think I like this version better then the original.
If you're like me and quirky songs interest you, then Rock Swings is a must! Let me know how you like it!
