This is a partial cover version, 2 songs ''mashed up" as the young people would say:

[redwhiteblue]

Foo Fighters could only manage 7 minutes of this song. I have an 18 minute live version from AC/DC . Used to get me across the harbour to the north shore on the ferry..

All the musical food groups represented: Foo Fighters, Queen, David Bowie and Taylor Hawkins wearing an ABBA T-shirt..

[Big Dog]

[Paddo Colt 61]

Hey Big Dog, do you have a black Pug? I had one for 10 years, best dogs ever. Ideal temperamentally but riddled with health problems.
My offerings for best covers - Joe Cocker's rework of the Beatles' "A Little Help from My Friends" and "She Came in through the Bathroom Window". Vanilla Fudge's " You Keep Me Hangin' On" (Supremes) and Dave Edmunds' copy of Chuck's "Promised Land" and "Run Run Rudolf". Finally the Stones' presentation of "Down the Road Apiece" - that track that marked them as a great R'n'R band for mine. Never as good after Brian Jones.

Oh and the Beachboys' cover of "Barbra Ann" (The Regents) and their elaborate rework of the traditional "Sloop John B".
