I'd recommend covering the Johnny Paycheck version of Take this job...it's much better. Although, the Coe version has the word "feces" in it. Maybe some kind of combo?
ReplyDeleteI get sick when i hear the Paycheck version.
ReplyDeletepaycheck could be the only hell my mama ever raised.
ReplyDeletePaycheck has the sweet solo guitar under the choruses. Also, his voice and singing style on that song is just much better than Coe's. The music under the verses is kinda lame though. I think we should use Paycheck's chorus and Coe's verse.
ReplyDeleteThat is ok. I can't stand the stupid paycheck verse. It sounds like beatnick poetry reading to me.
ReplyDeleteYou heard the paycheck version first?
ReplyDeleteCoe is better, except for the sweet slide guitar lix in the Paycheck version.
ReplyDeleteWho gonna play the dobro?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was my favorite song for a while when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThe live version with the full band of Angel flying too close is crippling.
ReplyDeleteWe will do that version then. That is the only one I know.
