Battle of the Bands: Keep Me in Your Heart

 For April's version of Battle of the Bands I went with Warren Zevon. I chose his song "Keep Me in Your Heart."

Original here...


The contenders are Trampled by Turtles and Alfie Boe.

I love Warren Zevon! Both contenders did a good job, but Alfie Boe's vocals were more appealing, somehow. PLease give my vote to him.

I have to say I like Alfie Boe's rendition better along with the instruments used.

Mike,

I didn't know this song. I definitely preferred both covers over the original, however I think I liked the TURTLES the best. Please give them my vote.

Whenever you get a chance, please stop by to cast your vote in Oops, I Did It Again BOTB showdown!

I never listened to much Zevon and don't think I have anything by him in my collection. This is a new song to me. Both versions sounded nicely done, but for me my favorite was the first one by Trampled by Turtles.

MIKE ~

Zevon was always a pretty big favorite of mine. I could relate to his quirky, sardonic sense of humor. He damn sure could write lyrics better than the majority of his contemporaries. I think he was underrated, but the cool people knew of him.

Both of these covers were good, but I slightly preferred TRAMPLED BY TURTLES. (Man, a person would have to be incredibly slow to get trampled by turtles!)

Such a lovely song doesn't seem to fit Zevon, but The TURTLES do it justice. A vote for Trampled by Turtles, please.
