Tony Cartmill Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 No, I want to rewrite to make it better because "perfection is consuming":"ABM scare,The song is playing everywhere.But "Overkill" complaints beware,Nobody dare..."Better...

Bill C Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I can't believe Manilow didn't cover ABM on his latest album. "Boats Against The Current" needs to be re-released or something. This song is just so good. Somebody needs to find this song all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Boats is indeed a song that deserves to be covered. Or reissued. I'd much rather see the 'berries do a cover of it than ABM, though I'm not sure how either would work.I could see them doing a nice rendtion of Make Me Lose Control however...

Bill C Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I don't know if either is a 'berries song or would work as one. Not enough backing vocal stuff or guitar. I know they did some of that with Waiting & Starting over, but when I think of the Raspberries, I tend to think of more group oriented songs. Harmonies, drum fills, guitar licks...Maybe I'm missing the way it could be re-done, I just think it's great the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Tony, buddy- if everything rhymed, I'd have to get serious about seeing if I could really write a song, sometime. Besides, if it don't rhyme, it's kind of sublime Kirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecstasy Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 It's funny you should say that, Paulie, as I thought the same thing. I could easily see Make Me Lose Control as a good rendition for the group --- all those tight harmonies and strong instruments --- absolutely! Just with a more powerful edge to it maybe to counterbalance Eric's strong voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 If (when) the Raspberries record again, I hope it's all new, though if they chose to cover some of Eric's solo works, MMLC would be on my want-to-hear list, along with You Need Some Lovin' from his last Arista LP and American As Apple Pie from the Geffen offering. I wouldn't mind hearing the Berries do Wally's "Golden Rule" from the Sittin' Ducks CD as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneG Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 My preference would be for new material as well. If the Raspberries wanted to put a new spin on an "Eric song", my preference would be for them to do a song that Eric has covered...Walk Away Renee fits his voice so well, and lends itself to wonderful harmonies.Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Another person doing All By Myself is LaToya London (American Idol) -- read somewhere where it will be on her latest CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I know some Idol contenstants have done Boats, you'd think that being on the show alone would renew interest in that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challer Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 From the Feb. 10th edition of Entertainment Weekly, pg. 133, 1st paragragh in a review of Il Divo:"The demand for an operatic rendition of Eric Carmen's 'All By Myself' is finally answered with Il Divo's Ancora......".That's all the review mentioned.
