Follow the leader

[MetalDog]

Ok.  Here's the game.  I'm going to post a song to start us off.  Then, the next song has to have something in common with the previous song.  It can be a signifigant word in the title of the song or band name.  It can have band members in common.  It can even be a remake if you'd like.  You just have to state the connection if it's not obvious.

First up, my favorite Zeppelin song ever:

Them Crooked Vultures (John Paul Jones plays bass for both bands):

Queens of the Stone Age (Josh Homme is lead singer for both bands):

Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl drums for the preceding two bands (thus completing my shameless plug for Them Crooked Vultures because JOHN PAUL JONES PLAYS BASS FOR THEM AND ZEPPELIN KICKS ASS!!!!!!! (Sorry, a bit of a fly off the handle moment.  Back under control now.  Carry on.))):

So.  You can post one song or a string like I did.  But your first has to directly connect to the previous posts last song.  Oh.  And as a favor to me, please, I beg you, do NOT post a Nirvana song to make the connection.  Ever if you can help it, but especially now.  Thanks ;)

Great thread, MD. Here's mine - Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd (sorry can't embed from Vimeo)

just to put us on an Escher-like loop...

the drummer played on David Gilmour's solo tour, and the guitar player...  well, a few of you might know who he is

Paul Rodgers sang with a little band called Bad Company before the Firm.

Kid Rock covering Bad Company

Not that I'm looking to just do copycats, but Susanna Hoffs also covered Feel Like Makin Love and she's much hotter than Kid Rock  :P

[bayonetbrant]

if you've got her covering songs, have her cover something cool, instead of crappy Bad Company songs (to be fair, most Bad Company songs are pretty crappy...)
(ignore the fact that the moron who uploaded the video mis-titled it)

and now for some deep-diving following of the leader...

Susanna Hoffs studio version of that song appeared on a compilation from Eddie Bauer in 1999 with this song by Hothouse Flowers

of course, Hothouse Flowers also once covered "I Can See Clearly Now" on SNL (the night Susan Lucci was on) and on their album "Home"

Eagle Eye Cherry also covered it, but I can't find a video of it, so we gotta go with Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers

and I'll let y'all pick it up there and see where you manage to go with that one ;)

Kermit Ruffin doing Try A Little Tenderness by Otis Redding

Did you actually know who Kermit Ruffin is? Or just random googlin'?   8)

And hard to top Ducky covering Otis in Pretty in Pink

Thank you for getting us out the Rainbow Connection loop. I thought that my post would take us to Weezer, not another version of Rainbow Connection!!
