Happy Monday, Everyone!! (now, isn’t THAT an oxymoron….)
Welcome back to another Music Monday, hosted by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek! …and my own spin on it “Who Did it Better?” a Face off between multiple versions of the same song, and you get to vote for your favourite!!
Now, to last weeks Face off!
“All the Small things”… who did it better?
Blink 182?? or Post Modern Jukebox Puddles Pity Party?
AND THE WINNER IS…………..
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
BLINK 182!!!
Well, that was just thrilling!! (Sorry, Puddles…. I had real hope for you. Maybe it’s just that I’ve never been much of a fan of Blink… but, that sad clown is pretty fantastic!!
Onwards and upward!!! Now onto this week’s Face off!! (I THINK IT’S A TOUGH ONE!)
It’s the End of the World as we Know it (and I feel Fine)
R.E.M
VS.
Great Big Sea
VS
Cast your vote in the comments below! If you know a different version of the song you feel should be in the mix, feel free to cast a write in vote, and don’t forget to tune in next week to see the winner!! HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!!
Yay! 🎉🎉It’s another Music Monday. The orginal version I knew about of course (wel duh, I guess who doesn’t right? 😂) but I had never before heard Great Big Sea’s version: and….drumroll please, that’s where my vote will go to this time! Yes maybe a surprise (or not 😅), but I liked that version better. It was more energetic, and I think also very well done too!
Sad that the 🤡 did not win 😭😭😭 He had my vote anyway.
Hope you will have an awesometasticfabulous (yes just made that word up 😂) week yourself as well! 😘😊

Ha ha!!! Yay GBS!!! 💖💖 Glad they’re getting some love! This is a super tough one for me… They both have a wonderfully nostalgic place in my heart… (all I can hear is my dad singing “a free ballpene hammer when they open… At the hardware store!!” to this tune…. Long story… HA HA HA!! 😂😂😂) Not to mention they’re both fantastic versions! 💖💖

Haha….It really is a tough one, as I do love REMs version a lot as well….But I decided to go in a different direction for a change lol😂😂 And just gotta say that I really loved their version a lot! ❤️
Haha…well, I love long stories, you have to tell me about it some day!😂😂😂 But, yes they both are fantastic version, so it will be very interesting to see which version is going to win 🤔🤔 Oh well: we will find out in a week from now ❤️❤️

This was my high school senior graduation theme song, so I am biased in favor of R.E.M., but GBS’s version was pretty damn good. Hadn’t ever heard it before. I call a tie on this one. 🙂

Not everyone can hear every song! And that’s what Music Mondays are for! To introduce people to new songs, or at least new versions of songs!

Oh man! Nicole, you’ve done it again! How am I supposed to choose between these two?🙇🏻♀️ After consulting my husband I’m going to stick with R.E.M. because…well…they’re R.E.M. But we both loved the GBS version too.😍

The REM version was blocked, but I know it so well, it didn’t matter. Going with that one, Nicole. I liked the Great Big Sea one too even though it was so frenetic I couldn’t listen to the whole thing without having a heart attack. Ha ha. I love these Music Mondays. They’re a blast. 🙂

I was away for a week, but I am so happy I am back on time to join this Music Monday 😀 I really love these posts of you.
Alright now my verdict of this week’s music: I like big sea’s version because it’s funny, but it is a bit too ludricous for me, so my vote goes to R.E.M!
