New blog category: "Old New Songs"?

(Warning: links require iTunes to function - I know, I'm such a fanboy these days.)

I'm thinking of starting a weekly tribute to old, good music that's been brutalised by some no-talent hack to turn a quick buck for nothing more that a few hours of studio time and a licensing fee (I'm looking squarely at you, The Used/My Chemical Romance). Today's entry would be entitled 'Stevie Doesn't Need a Posse'. I'm sure most everyone reading this (okay, Mom and Dad, maybe not you), has heard Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise", but how many of you have actually heard the Stevie Wonder track it's based on? It's called Pastime Paradise, and it kicks serious ass. Good luck getting your local Star affiliate to play it, though - "deep cut", indeed.

Any interest? Or am I the only one sick and tired of wishing they just play the original damn song and quit screwing it up? (Open question to Gwen Stefani: What did Joseph Stein ever do to you?)
