Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today let's go into another Three Tune Tuesday post.
As always, thanks to 
Today I have another mix of different genres. Trying to keep switching things up to stay interesting.
Postmodern Jukebox - Video Killed the Radio Star
How is it that these guys just keep giving such odd yet interesting covers? This one is as bizarre as you can get: Video Killed the Radio Star, but as sung in a Freddie Mercury style. If you are of my age, it's so incredibly hard to conceive of this song in any other way that the one we saw on MTV 30 gadrillion times, but seriously, give this a chance. It will grow on you and it's good!
GabrielBelloMusic - You're the Best Around
Speaking of iconic 80s songs, this is right up there. This is a great instrumental cover of it. Because really, we all know the words so instrumental is all we need.
Generous Farmer - Rocket Man
And... yeah. If you thought that first one was crazy, you ain't seen nothing yet. How about a bluegrass cover of Rocket Man? I know what you're thinking. But seriously, it works well. Or maybe these guys are just that good. Just give it a listen and see what you think.
I enjoyed that so much that I went and bought their CD (Get it here—there is a lot of other interesting stuff on there too, including two Styx covers).
So what's your favorite?
