One of the great folk songs of the modern era captures the spirit — and the historical record — of maritime tragedy, and the cover that knows it stuff as well as the original. The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald, originally by Gordon Lightfoot, covered by Simon Barr Sinister.

Outro music is the theme from Underdog, because how could it not be.

The knives come out over whether we've found the perfect love song as we look at another classic episode. The Book Of Love, originally by The Magnetic Fields, covered by Peter Gabriel, and by Gavin James.

We revisit episode 53, with one of the most important songs in the history of rock and roll, an incredible original, a hugely successful but also problematic cover, and … well, a great artist who stepped outside of his comfort zone. Hound Dog, originally by Big Momma Thornton, covered by Elvis Presley, and by James Taylor.

Newly added outro music is Ball 'n Chain, also by Big Momma Thornton.

Another archive episode revisited, with a classic song that's been covered countless times, and it just so happens that three of them are brilliant in their own way. People Get Ready, originally by The Impressions, covered by Jeff Beck and Rod Stewart, and by Alicia Keys.

Outro music (newly added) is It's All Right, also by The Impressions.

We pull a classic episode from the archives, back to episode 20, where we take a look at one of the most important bands in Hip Hop, and a cover that couldn't possibly work, but does. 911 Is A Joke, originally by Public Enemy, covered by Duran Duran.

Outro music (which is new to the episode) is Eve of Destruction, a rare cover by Public Enemy.

We pull a classic episode from the archives, one of our longtime favorites from episode 32. A musical theater classic and cover you'd never think to ask for, but once you know about it, you understand the treat you're in for. I Feel Pretty, originally by Marni Nixon, covered by Little Richard.

Outro music is Keep A Knockin', also by Little Richard.

We pull a classic episode from the archives and dress it up for the modern incarnation of the show.

Outro music is new to this episode, and we've added King of Pain also by Alanis Morissette, from her MTV Unplugged show. It's super cool.
