I really enjoy cover songs. Especially when an artist can take an original and put a spin on it, often by changing the speed of the song, and give the song almost an entirely new meaning. First, the original, “Last Friday Night” by Katy Perry (forgive the format, it’s the entire mini-movie):
Now, the cover, “Last Friday Night” by Julia Nunes:
The first song feels like a party, a celebration of debauchery. The second is the exact same song, the same lyrics, but at this speed and played in this way, now it feels like a song of regrets. To me, it is just so awesome that two very different sounding songs that convey such different moods can actually be the same song.
Anyway, this musical interlude was brought to you by my not participating in April Fool’s Day shenanigans.
It is unfortunate but the video by Julia Nunes is not available in Canada. Would you happen to have another link to it?
I wish I did, but unfortunately it was posted by the Conan show as it was recorded backstage when she appeared on the program.
I hate this kind of content blocking. 🙁
