![]() Worldwide, the boundaries between British and American music are so blurry and indefinable that those of us who live outside the Anglo-American sphere often conflate the two music scenes. So let’s put our records on and investigate this strange phenomenon from this strangest of pop hits. Then again, I thought the same of ‘ Forgot About Dre’, and that got memed to hell and back on TikTok, so really, what do I know? No doubt, Corinne Bailey Rae made a mark with her signature song in the mid-2000s, but it never struck me as a song that could particularly appeal to Gen Z. At the very least, I’d rather have ironic politician-inspired band names on here than Tom McDonald or something.īut this is still an unusual choice of cover. This was not an artistic project that seemed destined for any kind of pop stardom, but given the collective societal upheaval we’ve been subject to the past few years, I think we’ve seen worse. So it’s amusing to me that I should be covering them now, or that they should end up on this blog at all. ![]() It made the rounds on Twitter before they even had a properly released album. How? Their ridiculous goddamn name, that’s how. I was actually made aware of Ritt Momney long before I even found out about their cover. So yeah, these guys have finally netted themselves a Top 40 single, huh. That’s, that’s not a joke, that’s their actual name. That’s right, today, we are taking a look at the latest hit cover song that’s making the rounds, a cover of Corinne Bailey Rae’s ‘Put Your Records on’, courtesy of Ritt… Momney… So why not talk about a current pop song that’s also a cover? Given how barren the charts have been in 2021 so far, I think I might need to resort to this more often. Now, usually, I keep the current pop stuff to the pop song reviews, and the covers to Cover Me Badd, but this time, I figured I could kill two birds with one stone. And today, we’re gonna be doing something a little different. Welcome back to Cover Me Badd, where we look at good covers, bad covers and what makes them tick. I’ve been off to a great start, and I’m super fortunate to have the opportunity to make a living off of something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.“Don’t touch my hair / When it’s the feelings I wear / Don’t touch my soul / When it’s the rhythm I know” Don’t get me wrong, it’s been exciting to have the opportunity to do these things that so few people can do. Part of me definitely wanted to leave that environment and escape, so it’s been nice to not have to worry about being “popular” or pleasing so many different people. It was super overwhelming, and I didn’t like that in a lot of ways. I soon had so many people turning their heads towards me and looking like I was this “cool kid” all of the sudden. Going back to what I said earlier, my work ethic of putting all my energy into stuff I was involved in took over. I wasn’t super popular then, but I wasn’t unpopular. In high school, I’d always dreamed about trying to get famous. It’s made me alone a lot more, which is good and bad. I dropped out of school, moved from Salt Lake out to LA, and now I’m here living in a small house by myself trying to figure out the world out there. J.R.: Since the beginning of the band up to now, there’s been some big changes for me.
