20 Sweet: Cover Songs

Everyone has fallen victim to that one deadly joke. It goes like this:

Person A: (casually singing slightly off-key version of “Don’t Stop Believin’”)
Person B: Hey, who sings that?
Person A: Journey!
Person B: Cool, well, let’s keep it that way.

Sound familiar? Even though Person B may disagree with me, I happen to love hearing how people interpret the songs of other musicians. So if you’re that Person A, I say: keep singing.
