Another song that has been covered quite a number of times would be Walk On By, a Burt Bacharach/Hal David composition which was first recorded in 1964 by Dionne Warwick

Here are some of the more outstanding interpretations of that song:


The Jackson 5 included Walk On By (2:30) in a medley which also included some of their hit singles (at that time) for the Diana! TV special OST - sick break!!!

...and a live performance!!! Sickness refined!!! See li'l Michael do the robot!!!


Isaac Hayes' rendition is transformed on record into a twelve-minute funkfest made all the more memorable by being sampled by the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Ludacris and even Hooverphonic


The Undisputed Truth's version of this track was also sampled heavily by the likes of J Dilla

UK rock band The Stranglers maintain the soulfulness of the original while putting a rockier edge which doesn't come out off-putting though. Love the organ solo on this one...possibly the best one I've heard since Ray Manzarek's work on The Doors' Light My Fire


Cyndi Lauper channels Laura Nyro in her live rendition...


...and Ms. Nyro's version. Listen close....

Meanwhile, as Dionne's version was blowing up big time back then, Aretha Franklin came out with a version that solidifies her reputation even during that time as the Queen of Soul (btw, Dionne's own sister Dee Dee sang back-up on Her Highness' version)

UK soul singer Gabrielle captures the retro goodness of the Dionne Warwick original while incorporating a good deal of Aretha's soulful take on that one.

This song has also been covered by the likes of The Beach Boys, Helen Shapiro, Michael McDonald and Seal

[1] Animal- Captain The first day of the Oxegen festival was outstanding, Captain had very little buzz, but I had a feeling they were going to be good to see and they were great. Buy everything you can from them {Pet Sounds Tent-Oxegen-Dublin}. [2] The Network's Going Down- Carbon/Silicon Mick Jones' new band sounds great recorded, all of their music is free to download, but they retire songs from their site so you have to be vigilant if you want their music; they were pretty terrible live though when I saw them the first night of SxSW. [3] Psycho Killer- Talking Heads David Byrne played the end of the first night of the ACL festival, I didn't see much of his performance, {AT&T Stage-ACL-Austin}. [4] Heimdalsgate Like A Promethan Curse- of Montreal What an amazing live band to see one of the best I've seen; they had musicians on different levels of the stage and the show was not just about music but performance art {Warehouse-Houston}. [5] Nature Of The Experiment- Tokyo Police Club I got to the theatre super early for the show, and I only got to see the last song, and then had to sit through "Angels & Airwaves" (worst band ever) for 45 minutes {Nokia Theatre-Dallas}. [6] No Lucifer- British Sea Power this was such a lovely rainy day in Ireland, luckily they were playing inside a tent {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin}. [7] I Feel Fine All The Time- dios (malos) I do love Dios, I see them every year {Walters-Houston}. [8] The Frown Song- Ben Folds Such great shows all the time, there's nothing like Ben Folds slamming down his mitts on the piano {O2-Oxegen-Dublin & Palladium-Dallas}. [9] Tendency- Battle this was one of those bands I come home from Europe not having known but really getting into {Pet Sounds-Oxegen-Dublin}. [10] People C'mon- Delta Spirit this was such a great middle of the day in the Austin sun {Austin Ventures-ACL-Austin}. [11] The Way It Is- Nicole Atkins Nicole Atkins was a great had a {AMD-ACL-Austin}. [12] Bonny- Tom Smith The only musician that is on the compilation twice, but they're one of my favorite bands, and I did see them twice, so I figure I'm allowed {Pabst Theatre-Milwaukee & Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [13] Suzanne- Leonard Cohen after leaving early from the Roskilde Festival; Collean, Becky, Folkert, & I sat in the park and listened to Leonard Cohen for a free show {Kongens Have-Copenhagen}. [14] Golden Brown- The Stranglers it was just great to see icons performing on stage {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin}. [15] San Berdoo Sunburn- Eagles of Death Metal I only saw a little bit from EoDM before I decided it was time to leave {Meridian-Houston}. [16] Just Another Folk Song- Make Model Collean, Tanya & I saw these guys play at SxSW I actually had a drink with the drummer before they took the stage; they were so happy to be playing, I think you can tell that they have some real potential. [17] Spit at Stars- Jack Peñate it was good to see Jack playing in Ireland, it wasn't too crowded, but everyone there had a really great time {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin}. [18] Walcott- Vampire Weekend In Ireland they sounded absolutely amazing, definitely a highlight of the festival season {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin & AMD-ACL-Austin}. [19] We Get On- Kate Nash She sounded good in Denmark but was a natural in Ireland (she was born in Dublin), the best was when she sang about being bitter and everyone threw lemons at her, she loved it (I think) {Odeon-Roskilde-Copenhagen & O2-Oxegen-Dublin}. [20] Heartbeat- Scouting for Girls First band of a freezing rainy day, Collean was nice enough to let me borrow her poncho to stay dry {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [21] We Are All on Drugs- Weezer As much as everyone gave me a hard time about them not sounding good live, they were stupendous {Nokia Theatre-Dallas}. [22] Hot Girls In Good Moods- butch walker and the let's go out tonites Another hot day in Austin to see Butch Walker {Austin Ventures-ACL-Austin}. [23] Bullets- Editors The Pabst was one of the best places I could see a show; I'm so glad to have made it up to Wisconsin for the Editors show {Pabst Theatre-Milwaukee & Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [24] Retirement- Kaiser Chiefs Always one of the best bands to see play live, there was so much going on that day that I was running back and forth from stage to stage {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [25] Our Bovine Public- The Cribs the middle of this day at SxSW was an outstanding time, rock posters and rock music is always brilliant. [26] Take Her Back- The Pigeon Detectives When they played this song in Austin at SxSW I was up against the stage screaming along, the Ireland show was much less rock filled {O2-Oxegen-Dublin}. [27] Partie Traumatic- Black Kids another show that was just chosen out of the blue, but they were quite fun {Futures-Oxegen-Dublin}. [28] Trash- The Whip These guys weren't so hot live, but I think I'll give them another chance since it was in the middle of the day, and they'd probably played late the night before (or at least that's what I'm defending them with) {Latitude-Austin}. [29] This Scene Is Dead- We Are Scientists Every time I see these guys I get them mixed up with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but they're so much better {O2-Oxegen-Dublin}. [30] Over and Over- Hot Chip this is the only song from Hot Chip that I like, but it's really good so I couldn't skip them {AT&T Blue-ACL-Austin}. [31] Barrowland Ballroom- Amy Macdonald I loved seeing Amy at Oxegen, I ran into the pit (if you can call it that), there's nothing like a foxy Scot to get your hands clapping early in the day {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [32] Tell Me What It's Worth- Lightspeed Champion I highly recommend taking the time to hunt him down, he is great live, and his music will really surprise you; luckily he doesn't sound anything like his old band (Test Icicles) {Pet Sounds-Oxegen-Dublin}. [33] My Only Offer- Mates of State These guys are really fun to watch {Austin Ventures-ACL-Austin}. [34] Better to Be- Liam Finn I hadn't heard of Liam Finn before, but it was a good show {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [35] Won't Go Away- The Feeling 70's style with a happy little jig at the beginning of the day in mist filled Ireland {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [36] Peachy- Missy Higgins she's a down-under girl banging away on the guitar while setting up a great set for Ben Folds {Palladium-Dallas}. [37] Colorblind- Counting Crows I know this song sounds a bit mellow, but it's a really passionate tune from a guy who seems to have a lot of passion {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [38] Que Sera Sera- Pink Martini went to see these guys play with the symphony; yeah, sometimes I can be classy {Jones Hall-Houston}. [39] Sea of Love- Cat Power She's a bit of an acquired taste, but I think this song is just lovely {Warehouse-Houston}. [40] The Sunnyside Of The Street- The Pogues Pretty much the most enjoyable music you can listen to if you like a bit of Irish style punkesque {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin}. [41] I Useta Lover- The Saw Doctors Another Irish band who apparently are super famous in Ireland (the tent was packed), but I didn't know them prior to this journey {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin}. [42] Lucky Man- The Verve I think everyone knows these guys and their big hit in the US, but since they "broke up" they had more than a bit of musical mystique in Britain that made them a bit like superstars {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [43] Neptune's Call- Duke Spirit I ventured out on the scoot to see these guys open for EoDM and they didn't disappoint, they were really good, and the first time in over a year since I'd been to the Meridian, and it isn't much better than it used to be {Meridian-Houston}. [44] Around the Bend- The Asteroids Galaxy Tour Not only are these guys great, but I won their new EP {Roskilde-Copenhagen}. [45] Buck Rogers- Feeder I cannot explain how great it was to see these guys perform again, granted their getting a little long in the tooth, but who isn't {O2-Oxegen-Dublin}. [46] Bring On The Dancing Horses- Echo & The Bunnymen Pretty much dark-music gods and still around after 30 years, much like me {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin}. [47] Devil's Dance Floor- Flogging Molly I have to credit Collean for this band, I wasn't all that convinced by them in the past, but they sound really great live, and seeing them in Ireland was amazing {Warehouse-Houston & Futures-Oxegen-Dublin}. [48] Dogs Were Barking- Gogol Bordello I was only able to hear their music since Kathy and I were busy getting free food in the VIP area {AT&T-ACL-Austin}. [49] The Heinrich Maneuver- Interpol Collean and I were walking back to the bus when Interpol finally got onstage, but we got to hear a little I think the first day was the hardest {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [50] Brand New Start- Little Joy I only went into the club to hear these guys because I wanted to talk to someone watching the show, but to my delight, they were really really great {Warehouse-Houston}. [51] Your Love Alone Is Not Enough- Manic Street Preachers Considering I own more music from MSP than anyone else, I would have to say that they were the highlight of the year, I got a little weepy and I definitely was dancing with some super drunk guy at the show; thanks to Collean for putting up with me at this show...I made her arrive to their set super early to get a good spot, and I never looked behind me to see if they were even crowded {Green Room-Oxegen-Dublin}. [52] Manwomanboogie- Q-Tip Formerly of A Tribe Called Quest, I missed 99% of this show because I decided to go to a midnight movie instead of staying (big mistake) {Warehouse-Houston}. [53] Queen Dot Kong- The Dø the show was good, but the tent that they played in was amazing and really unique; there were bleachers set up in the back and side of the tent so you could see from no matter where you were standing {Astoria-Roskilde-Copenhagen}. [54] Getting Down- The Kills When you are a band that prides yourself on being pale and singing dark music, of course you're going to be miserable in the hot Austin sun, but the show was great even if they were complaining {AT&T Blue-ACL-Austin}. [55] Breakin'- The Music great show, lots of fun {Pet Sounds-Oxegen-Dublin}. [56] No You Didn't, No You Don't- The Courteeners Yes they did (rock me), I love these guys, they're so much fun {}.
[57] What's The Frequency Kenneth?- R.E.M. they're REM, there really is nothing more needed to say; they're awesome {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [58] VI Kommer Att Dö Samtidigt- Säkert Yes, this is in a foreign language (Swedish), but she was able to compete with Radiohead and Band of Horses playing on different stages at the same time {Pavilion-Roskilde-Copenhagen}. [59] My Friends- Stereophonics This song is dedicated to all of you guys, great band to see {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin}. [60] Ella's In The Band- The Fratellis over the past 3 years of following them and loving their music, I finally got to see them live; awesome fun {Heineken-Oxegen-Dublin & AT&T Blue-ACL-Austin}. [61] Let's Dance to Joy Division- The Wombats These guys are huge, they were amazing in Austin, and pretty darn close to that in Ireland too {Austin & O2-Oxegen-Dublin}. [62] What's My Heart For- The Zutons Still one of my favorite bands, not the best show I've seen them perform, but still good {O2-Oxegen-Dublin}. [63] Sweet Lady- What Made Milwaukee Famous one of my favorite bands from Austin that can always make me happy {AMD-ACL-Austin}. [64] I Will Remain- Old 97's another favorite of mine from the capital of Texas {AT&T-ACL-Austin & Warehouse-Houston}.
