The CoverUp

Get ready to be rotoscoped. We look at the 80s mega-hit Take On Me, with the original and a surprising unplugged version by A-Ha and additional covers by Lake Street Dive and Weezer -- because apparently Weezer is covering everything now.

Outro music is The Look by Roxette.

You can almost hear the waning of the 80s in this song. We discuss the self-consciously earnest The Heart Of The Matter by Don Henley, covered by India Arie.

Outro music is Take It Easy, by The Eagles.

The complete story of Rock and Roll and its evolution, captured in one song. Amanda and Rich discuss I Fought The Law by The Crickets, covered by the Bobby Fuller Four, by The Clash, and by The Dead Kennedys

From Trenchtown to Brooklyn, via Haiti. Amanda and Rich discuss No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley and the Wailers, covered by Jimmy Cliff and by The Fugees.

Our outro music is Do The Reggay by Toots and the Maytals from 1968.

Amanda and Rich discuss Mama Tried by Merle Haggard, covered by The Grateful Dead and by Percy Sledge
