My Mother has reached that age where she needs a little help, and can use all the Little Helpers she can get. I'm still keeping with my theme and I am multitasking this one into a Battle of the Bands as well!

I am using the classic Rolling Stones tune "Mother's Little Helper" as the song. I am not going to post the original this time.
Contestant One: Eric McFadden
Contestant Two: Liz Phair
Tell me which version you like best in the comments. I will count up the votes and announce a winner before The Rolling Stones reschedule their postponed tour. Yes, I have a ticket to see them in Jacksonville. The plan was to visit my Mom and see the Stones. That's life for you it changes plans. However, I will have the results probably on the 28th.
I hadn't heard this song in many years. I'm almost surprised that it's been covered. I remember when the Stones came out with this and it was so controversial. Now it's the norm.
ReplyDeleteI liked Liz just fine, but Eric McFadden's version was especially fun and totally works in my mind. A vote for Eric McFadden.
Nice battle!

Interesting match up! ☺ Eric McFadden was more bluegrass and I preferred Liz Phair's version. She didn't deviate much from the original.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Eric’s voice got to me a bit I liked it more than the second. Hers was good but nothing unique and I loved the mandolin(??) used in the first one so my vote goes to Eric.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with LIZ PHAIR but I'll admit, I really like Eric's unique spin on it. kinda Tom Waits-ish.
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteI can't say I know this song, so I'm going into this with no opinion. Listening to both covers, I think I'm going to give my vote to Liz Phair. Happy a2zing!

ReplyDeleteEric McFadden all the way for me! It sounded more like comedy relief, which I think is appropriate. This isn't a song that should be approached too seriously, which Liz seemed to do. Plus, I hated her voice. Wow! She was grating on my last nerve. If she were my sister and we grew up together, I'm sure I would have hit her a lot while we were in elementary school.
Speaking of drugs... Mike, have you ever watched the old 'Batman' TV episodes from '66 & '67 after having ingested some "Cheech y Chong"? Man, that's what that show was designed for. Ain't nuttin' funnier than *THAT*!
