Covers, S: "Superstar," Carpenters/Sonic Youth

The "Original"

From the album Carpenters

The Carpenters:   Web site

DJ comments: Like the Sinatra tune, this is not really a Carpenters original, but it is their song. — cwc

It is their song. Karen Carpenters heart-wrenching story-turned-movie is called Superstar, because that's what she was: the easy listening superstar of the 20th Century. You go, girl. Go straight to a McDonalds. (Too soon?) — BJ

The Cover

From the album If I Were a Carpenter

Sonic Youth:   Web site   MySpace

DJ comments: If you don't own the album this came from (no, not the Juno soundtrack), If I Were a Carpenter, you suck. — cwc

What a beautiful album concept and name. What would your cover concept album be Chris? Mine would be If I Were An A-Ha. Take on me, Chris. Take On Me... — BJ

If I Were Straight Outta Compton — cwc
