90s Music question - Really doing my head in... - GoFuckYourself.com

CurrentlySober · 10-21-2011, 02:41 AM

OK, Joni Mitchell 'Big yellow taxi" - They Paved paradise, n put in a parking lot'...

Now, unless my memory is COMPLETELY shot... I would swear blind, and give my left nut as a bet on the fact that at SOME POINT, in the late 90s early 2000s - There was a cover version...

Very Upbeat - Poppy and Pappy - If you get me... I thought it *might* have been done by 'Hansen'...

However, I cant find any record of the song I am thinking of, so can only think that the version I am thinking of - Which I know exists... Was recorded under a different name?

Any ideas guys? Its not like I wanna sit and listen to it all day - Its just that its doing my head in !

Many other artists have covered the song, including Amy Grant, Melanie (Melanie Safka), Counting Crows with and without Vanessa Carlton, Sandi Thom, Kaya, Pinhead Gunpowder, Paul Tillotson, Moya Brennan, Keb Mo, Chris Thomas King, Keren Ann, the a cappella quintet Toxic Audio, Bob Dylan, Green Day, The Tragically Hip, and Jack Johnson. Tracy Chapman has performed a version of her own during her live shows.

Counting Crows did a pretty decent version in 2002. Amy grant did a version in 94

You can't beat the original.

Love me some Joni.

Counting Crows' version is the best!

Yeah, I reckon you're thinking of Amy Grant when you describe it poppy and pappy (and from the 90's)

Thats the nearest one so far, but not EXACTLY what I am thinking of... However thanks for all the replies. I guess I may be misremembering it...

I could have sworn in my mind, that it was a followup to mmbop by hansen, but wikipidea says 'No'...

Nevermind - Just one of those things!
